C++ Components

Postby fisher » Thu Nov 24, 2011 5:24 pm

The FAQ says that components can be written in Java, Python or C++
yet Ice supports other languages - is there any reason why the rest of
the Ice supported languages are not supported by OMERO?

Has anybody experience of writing C++ components and integrating them on the server side?

OMERO provides a layer on top of the code-generated ice classes to make working with our model (somewhat) easier. Without the necessary OMERO-code generation, it's not possible to use, say, ruby or .NET.

There should be no barrier to writing components in C++, and they will look much like those in other languages. Everything outside of the Java server with the PostgreSQL connection is considered a client, so there are a number of examples you can look at.

The main barrier will be that some helper functions have not yet been written in C++, but we'd certainly be very keen to help provide anything you may need.

What are you looking to integrate server side?

Cheers,
~Josh

No specific plans at the moment. I am just considering how best to integrate OMERO.
