Hi,


How can I define the interface between two subsystems where one is C
based and the other Java based. And once we define that interface, we
need to control it / baseline it.


Thereafter both subsystems should pick up the controlled interface file

and do their release builds with it.


So, if I define the interface using IDL(Interface Definition Language)
- I'd need a utility to generate Java classes and C header files from
the IDL.
And, if I define the interface using XML - I'd need a utility to
generate Java classes and C header files from the XML.


Can someone please help in identifying any other way to meet the
scenario.


-Maneesh

What's this garbage? Google groups is for searching archives, not for
posting. Get a real newsreader and an nntp account.

Not by asking here, it is off-topic. The C language does not define
or support an interface to ANY other language.

You don't specify your platform, but try asking in a group that
supports it. Your particular compiler/OS might offer some extensions
to allow this.

It's very odd. That's not the normal Google behavior for posting
messages. I'm not sure if that's some option that can be set up or not.
I didn't see anything like that in the setup stuff.

This is untrue. Google is a newsreader and posting agent. It just has
some well-known flaws. What you are complaining about is not (normally)
one of those flaws.

There are some of us who are forced by circumstances to use Google (at
least for the time being) to post messages. Telling people to get other
solutions is not going to make Google go away. You'd be better off
pointing out violations of netiquette to make Google users become
polite members of the newsgroup.

It looks like a cut-and-paste error. I think the poster copied some
of the surrounding text from the web page into the message. It's a
simple user error, not particularly Google's fault.

No, it isn't. Google is a website. If it were a news agent it would be
possible to use it to connect to any Usenet server, using NNTP. It isn't
capable of this, so it is a mere web front for one particular server,
not a news agent.
