[MOBY-dev] java api

[Benjamin Good]

Hi moby-dev,

 I think this from Simon sums up something that would be handy for 
everyone in the jMoby group - both client and service providers -(that 
hasn't written their own version already).

I don't really know the protocol here, but perhaps someone could post an 
Interface that others could check out, comment on, and code to?  Or 
perhaps some one already has a good solution?

I think both Ben and Eddie are working on things like this as well.  Ben
is at a course doing "wet" work (ugh!) this week, but Eddie should be
on-line somewhere.

Xref'ing with each other early on would probably be worthwhile - divide
and conquer  :-) 

I found in Perl that the code used by services was often identical to
that used by clients, so I ended up putting these kinds of routines into
a "neutral" location (MOBY::CommonSubs).  It's probably worthwhile
considering that rather than coding service/client specific modules...
if you haven't already.

Hi,
  I know that someone at mips (Octave Noubibou) is also working on that
field, on my side, I have an API in Java (based on the Python API) that
helps me to build moby webservices (with axis or j2ee)
