Communications

The Communications directory contains samples that cover the CommonPoint(TM) Communications framework. Each sample resides in a separate directory.

MessageStreams

MessageStreams is the simplest example of CommonPoint communications. This sample shows how to create a service definition, implement a message-streams-based server, access a message-streams-based server, and make queries to the server.

RPC

RPC is a very simple example of the CommonPoint system's RPC mechanism. It shows how to implement a simple caller-dispatcher pair. It is intended to be used as an RPC "template": you should be able to change the class names and put in your own functions fairly easily.

TemplateRPC

Template RPC is an alternate way of approaching RPC, using templates. It is a small layer above RPC, to be used as-is, that allows you to do networking without having to write caller and dispatcher classes. This functionality is achieved by using a template caller, a template dispatcher, and by writing functors that act on the remote data.
