Thank you.



I was able to make the last example here: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/325  work.



For some reason, using UDP throws an error, I do not know why, and of course, I will waste time trying to figure out why.



I will give your  example a go next!



Then, I will try the pharo->squeak send.



this is fun!



Thank you.

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.
