Hi Timothy --

Sockets work something like this (even though network name resolving seems to be tricky on my Windows machine at the moment):

| hostName port serverSocket serverProcess clientSocket |

hostName := NetNameResolver localHostName.
port := 1234.
data := 'Hello World!'.

serverSocket := Socket newTCP.
serverSocket listenOn: port.

serverProcess := [
| receivedData |
serverSocket waitForConnectionFor: 10 "seconds".
Transcript showln: 'Server accepted client connection'.
receivedData := serverSocket receiveData.
Transcript showln: 'Data received: ', receivedData.
serverSocket closeAndDestroy.
] newProcess.
serverProcess priority: Processor userBackgroundPriority.
serverProcess resume. "or use #forkAt: directly on block"

clientSocket := Socket newTCP.
clientSocket
connectTo: (NetNameResolver addressFromString: hostName)
port: port.
Transcript showln: 'Client connected to server'.

Transcript showln: 'Data sent: ', (clientSocket sendData: data), ' bytes'.
clientSocket closeAndDestroy.

Best,
Marcel

Marcel,


Thank you.


I have not found any information on sockets in SBE or PBE.  I will continue too look.


In my exploring, I thought JSON looked promising..pharo as a json server thingy that perhaps squeak could consume.

IIRC Stomp, which I have used previously on squeak has two side too, but I am not sure on this.


cheers,

Hi Timothy --


If it is just a text stream, use sockets. If it is a data/byte stream ... well ... I am not sure whether the byte interpretation for structured objects is still compatible between Pharo and Squeak.


Maybe you could also use a file and two file streams, a writer in Pharo and a reader in Squeak, as intermediary ...


Best,

Marcel

Hi Folks,



I have used ApacheMQ(?) and Stomp in squeak to communicate between squeak and a C++ application, it worked well, but I would like to avoid this for my project.



What I (will) have is a pharo image that will parse a large XML document for me (squeak has FileSystem incompatabilities that SAXHandler etc need)  .


During a SAXHandler callback, I want to kick this to an image that will parse some data using a PEG grammar I wrote and that needs some automated testing to perfect.


Communication  I would like is  pharo (sax) -> squeak(xtreams-parsing).


Some basic reading showed rST from about 2005? as a possibility as well as Nebraska,which I believe has been removed from Squeak several releases ago.

I have used neither of them.


If there is not a method I can make work, then I will do pharo(sax/stomp)->ApacheMQ->squeak(stomp/xtreams-parsing), but I prefer a pure smalltalk mechanism.




I still have a textbook of mpq(?) queues from a course I really enjoyed and pharo(sax)->squeak(queueing)->squeak(xtreams-parsing) would be really cool.


thx in advance.
