[JDEV] Transport questions...

[Nicholas Perez]

I have it on good authority that JECL is soon to have another version 
released, so I would hold off on using the current JECL on JS as I have 
heard there are some pretty dramatic API changes. Of course if the go 
the C route you can use mio and xmlnode to accomplish connections and 
xml parsing. JECL is actually very clean and polished, but if you want 
to go something else to look at, there is the openaether lib developed 
using CommonC++, XercesC, and some other things that let it talk 
different databases, plus it integrates well with Mozilla (specifically 
XPCOM) if you wanted some sort of an interface. It is located out at 
openaether.org and is being worked on by Zion whom hangs out in jdev. I 
guess it really comes down to what your design is on the component, and 
how much hackage you want to do :)
