[SoapRMI] licence issues

[Pollähne. Ullrich]

Hi Aleks,

thanks for the fast response.

That I wanted to hear. ;-)
Oof course you will get noticed by me if we are going to use XSOAP as
the base of our remote GUI communication.

If I interpret the archives right you will post your success with
interoperability in the mailing list, right?

At the moment we primarily have a need for a structured way of
communication between two java appications. But without being a fortune
teller I think that in a not so far future we are going to couple java
and C++ applications. Since our primary target OS is Windows (a customer
driven decision ;-)) we then need to port the code. You say that it is
no easy task. What special Unix "features" are used within the code (I
mean "features" definitely not available on Windows like 'fork'ing)?

kind regards,
Ullrich.
