How can a Qt client talk to a Spring server application?

Question

Is there any integration library/framework available? If not, what would be the best way to achieve this integration? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There are numerous integration options, but a thing that might be most suitable from a QT standpoint could be SOAP or REST. Both are supported in spring via spring-ws, or spring-mvc respectively. Another integration protocol that you might consider, but for one that I could not find direct QT support is hessinan, that has C++ client library.

Dig into remoting chapter of the spring manual, to find a common ground.

Other than that there are the usual suspects (not spring or QT related):

1. google's protocol buffers
2. facebook's thrift
3. CORBA
4. and a gazillion of others...
