[Arsperl-users] Future of ARSperl

[Misi M. <mi...@rr...>]

Hi,

This is not very well thought through, but it seems time that something happens.

Someone at ARSlist said he had just replaced all ARSperl code with
Inline::Java calls to the Java API.

Maybe it is time to dump the C-API and wrap ARSperl aginst the Java API instead?

We would save a lot of hassle with the 64-bit version in any event.

I have also thought about only wrapping some core calls instead of the entire
API. The problem here seems to be to draw the line somewhere. I suspect that
most of us only use 10% of the API calls. Probably less than that.

But if we can let people access the Java API if an unusual function is needed,
maybe we could implement 10% of the calls only.

Doesn't the Java API wrap the C API as well at the heart of it?  I saw the
response about utilizing the Java API but I *thought* that meant that they
had advertised WSDL pieces and was leveraging something like a SOAP call.
I've used the Java API as well (actually had to write a LoginServlet
extension using it as well) but it's no where near as user friendly as the
ARSPerl module is.

Hi,

I have not done much with the Java API either, but they redesigned it at
version 7.0 or 7.l to make it much easier to use.

I think that the most current versions of the Java API dir NOT depend on the
compiled C libs. I will check.

Hi,

As of version 8.0, the Java API seems to be pure Java.
