Alternative transports to HTTP

["GRIMSHAW, Richard" <Ri...@london.sema.slb.com>]

Hi,

	I am considering using the Xerces XML parser for a project on
OpenVMS (either Java or C++). However the XML messages need to be
transported over a propriety transport called CATP. CATP is simmilar to HTTP
but adds addiotional support for transactions and timeouts. 

Can anybody tell me how I should go about adding support for the new
protocol. e.g. CATP://nodename/filename - i.e. what classes need to be
changed and the general Xerces architecture when it comes to chosing an
implementation beased upon a suppled URL?

I suppose a class diagram of how the currenltly supported protocols are
chosen would be a step in the right direction.

Thanks

Richard
