GCF Application server

GCF Application Server … a sneak peak By: Aneesh Muralidharan

My intentions
GCF Application Server

GCF
A C++ framework for Qt applications
Helps compose modules of an application as dynamically loadable entities
Provides GUI merging capabilities
Provides object/functionality discovery services
Provides support for inter-process-communication

A GCF Component

An application written in GCF

The enlightenment
The push – pull effect
The push !
The pull !
What if … ?!

The idea
Have a web application
Have a Qt application
Create a possibility for them to communicate to each other about what they think 

GCF Application Server

The architecture
GCFMessage.js
Javascript library
Helps in issuing requests to GCFApplicationServer
Responses can be asynchronously handled (AJAX Style)

…
Sample code using GCFMessage.js

…
GCFApplicationServer.php
Acts as a forwarding agent
POST data sent to it will be redirected to GCFAppServer
Waits for the server
Relays back the response

…
A simple GCFApplicationServer.php

…
GCFMessage.xml format

...
The application server
GCFAppServerGUIXML
ComponentLoaderComponent.xml

Component's XML file

ComponentLoaderComponent.xml

...
GCFApplicationServer listens on port 4232
Received data packets that will be handled by GCF::AppAccessPoint

…
Construction of request GCF::Message
GCF::AppAccessPoint invokes specified methods in specified objects
GCF::AppAccessPoint responds with a reply GCF::Message
This GCF::Message is then converted to XML document
This is written back to the same socket

…
GCF::Message gets converted to XML

Re-cap
So this is what happens…
Server AP C1 C2 PHP Internet JS 4232 HTML

Demo
A hello world app !
