Common Client Interface 2003-10-15 - By Ben Hill
Back I am writing a system at the moment that is to interact with a client via a common interface. This interaction should be something like sending a "message" to the client, and receiving a synchronous response.
The issue is that the clients will be written by third parties, and I need to expose an API for them. I am therefore looking for a standard API, or to define my own.
My attention has been drawn to the Java Connector Architecture "Common Client Interface" API. I understand that it is a Command Pattern type API, and thought it might suit a standard interface between my system and the clients.
Anyone implemented anything like this, or have any suggestions for alternatives? Also, any thoughts on resource adapters for this kind of thing. Should the interface be implemented as a bespoke implementation, or as a RA?
Cheers,
Ben
