XML-RPC implementation in LabVIEW

[Mark Smith]

I'm wondering if anyone out there has done an implementation of the XML-RPC protocol in pure G? I'm working on an application where a top-level control program is written in Java (by another developer) and deployed on a Linux X86 machine. I plan on using LabVIEW compiled to the Linux platform for communication and control with the instrumentation required and then communicate with the Java program thru the XML-RPC protocol (the LabVIEW app will become an XML-RPC server). Any thoughts appreciated - even if the advice is "you gotta be out of your mind". Better to know now if there are better options!

Hello Mark,

you should be aware that if you want to take advantage of built-in XML

coding VIs, the LV schema (that we cannot edit or replace) will prevent your application

to be fully compatible with XML-RPC.

Please find below what I did so far (XMLvRPC, a LV version of XML-RPC)

(few slides here) and check also my contribution in the proceedings at PCaPAC06.

I wasn't my intention to be fully XML-RPC compliant, so I didn't go further.
