using Bombax as remote backend

[paolo]

I am developing an iPad/iPhone application and I need to create a
centralized server where all the users of my app can access to make
computational tasks. So, I need to create a server that is able to
communicate with all the remote clients. That server does not need to
expose a web interface, but only communication channels with the iPad/
iPhone app. Is this is possible with Bombax? Does Bombax provide a
JavaRMI-like concept? Or does Bombax provide an easy method to espose
simple web services like RESTfull service that returns a Json
rensponse?
Thank you

Hi Paolo,

the basic things I did get about Bombax can be listed as follows:

- You write your web/server code in Objective-C

- You can serve over an Http whatever your code is capable to produce

- Your code runs on a Mac, server side.

All this seems to me to be the ideal combination/solution to put your iOS based code in the position to receive server computed stuff as "binary plist's".

This are the fastest things you can transform into device/memory, way better than XML, JSOn and the like, currently available to iOS/Mac OS X developers...

So the communication protocol is 'upon you'; just extend http in any way you need, if you need it, but whatever you finally receive from Bombax, can be 'live' in your app an order of magnitude faster than anything else...

You might want to try this library:
http://iphoneonrails.com/

There is no requirement to use this with Ruby on Rails. It may
require slight modification to use with Bombax. I've thought about
using this as a RESTful resource layer for both Bombax and the iPhone,
but as of yet have not tried.
