C# library on the server

Postby braza » 06 Jan 2014, 19:48

I think of having model code on both server and client in order to make client more responsive (i.e. show preview of action consequences and cost) but server to be able to validate and actually process the request.

There are solutions that wrap C# library into JAR... This will end up with 2 virtual machines running, as I understand. Are there any fundamntal "cons" for this approach? Thanks

Hi,
there is no way to use C# on the server side. You can rewrite your classes in Java directly, the syntactic difference between the two is minimal.

Thanks

Hi,

Hmmm, but I saw solutions about the C#-Java bridge wrappers in any direction. Why wouldn`t they work?

The problem is to sustain both server and client code synchronized if any changes are done through the lifecycle of the model...

The problem with the solutions proposed in that thread is that they involve major performance costs to translate calls to and from the two languages.
In addition it will make debugging a nightmare because you have extra layers of translations in between.

IMHO it's much easier to simply write the Java version. None of those solutions seem to be well tested in a high load scenario.
