[Java-player-users] Questions about where to start upgrading JavaClient

[Tung N. <ng....@gm...>]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone here could give me some tips on where to start
upgrading JavaClient 2.0 to work with Player/Stage 2.1.x

In an earlier thread in respond to Maria Staudte, Leo mentioned that:

" The messages sent by the PS server have been modified since 2.0.5 so
the javaclient proxies are trying to decode diferent size messages. This
leads to strange behaviours, basically due to the fact that javaclient is
unable to decode those messages."

So should I start by modifying the way JavaClient 2.0 handles XDR message in
a manner that is compatible to Player/Stage messages, or should I be fixing
other parts of the client too ?

Due to time constraint, I would like to be able to communicate (receive and
send msgs) with some drivers only, will this take some load off the
JavaClient upgrading process ?

I considered Leo's response before about how wrapping would tie my control
code down to a single platform, so I would love know how I can make use of
the existing JavaClient 2.0.

Thanks a lot,

Tung
