Jinterface

[Evan <ev...@michevan.id.au>]

Anybody seen JInterface before?  http://erlang.org/doc/apps/jinterface/

It provides a set of tools for Java to communicate with Erlang processes.

Thought it could prove useful if anyone was interested in making a Java
based view server.

I've used JInterface in a simple, custom java client library before
and was able to insert and retrieve docs substantially faster than the
HTTP client libraries. The speed comes at a cost though and for
typical apps it makes more sense to use the HTTP libraries. I've
started work on rewriting this to a more generic, reusable client
library but have some other higher priority projects at the moment.

I think you could make a Java view server fairly easily without
JInterface since the view servers communicate with the rest of Couch
over stdin/stdout. However, it does open some interesting
possibilities for integrating Couch with other Java server
technologies for things like httpd handlers.
