Middleware Activities
The CMW project has reached almost all of it's initial goals. Nevertheless
improvements and extensions are often necessary. In following we list the major
ones which are being worked on. Please note that the Minutes of project meetings
give a detailed and up-to-date account of the progress of these activities.
- RDA version 2.0. There are a number of changes and extensions to
RDA which accumulated over time, especially changes which require
modifications in the IDL. The version 2.0 will not be compatible with
previous versions.The list of modifications in RDA 2.0 has been agreed in
the CMW meeting 20 August 2002.
- RDA C++ clients. The client API and implementation has been
completed in July 2002. We started several activities to put this API in
use. Pep Serrano from ST is developing a PVSS driver to the CMW so that it
can be used in extension of GTPM
to other accelerator areas. Another use of C++ RDA client is in replacing NC
RPC by CMW in PC Motif applications such as the Working Set. Slavek
is currently working on it. Another potential use of this API is the new
version of passerelle.
- Biscoto CMW server. A prototype has been devoloped in April.
Currently BI is working on connecting their Java API to the CMW so that they
can use Biscoto CMW server in their Java applications.Other issues to be
solved are device directory, support for subscriptions and timestamping.
