Burlap java server to work with python client


I'm trying to connect a burlap java server with a python client but I can't find any detail whatsoever regarding how to use burlap with python or if it even is implemented for python. Any ideas? Can I build burlap python clients? Any resources? Would using a hessian python client work with a java burlap server?


Solution

  • Burlap and Hessian are 2 different (but related) RPC protocols, with Burlap being XML based and Hessian being binary.

    They're both also pretty ancient, so if you have an opportunity to use something else, I'd highly recommend it. If not, then you're going to have to find a Burlap lib for Python.

    Since it seems that a Burlap lib for Python simply doesn't exist (at least anymore), your best choice is probably to make a small Java proxy that communicates with a more recent protocol with the Python side and in Burlap with the Java server.
