DSL for XPCA applications

[flipback]

Hello all!

I have been working over my XPCA server for more one month. This work is hard for one me and I'm not sure what I'm walking to true way.
But I think what idea of XPCA without real application and frameworks may stay only idea... it is sad.
In my working I often use Sinatra, Rake, Rspec frameworks. It's good example implementations DSL. May be this method become for description XPCA application.
For example: https://gist.github.com/1286409. That do you think? Is it a viable idea?


Thanks,
Aleksey

Hi Aleksey

Sorry for the delay in responding. I haven't had much time for XPCA
lately - or anything actually. Long story.

The DSL looks awesome! Well done. I'll give you more constructive
feedback when I have a chance, but definitely a viable concept.
Cheers
Tom

Could you explain exactly what the code is doing? Where will this fit in? Client/server or both...

I'm trying implementation analog of OPC Servers (such as KepServer for example) based on REST technology. I have created prototype core  in Java. It's treelike structure for configuration and runtime implementation.
So I'm develop rest server in Ruby. It is included Web (HTML) interface for configuration core and REST interface  (JSON,XML) for access to core. But work moves very slowly...
I offer DSL as solution  problem with storing configuration in database and development interface for configuration.
I have released DSL for description any treelike structures - https://github.com/flipback/lipa. I named it Lipa. It's russian name of some tree and second mean word that  is fake or mock, it's according with its purpose.

Next step of implementation is REST interface for this structures, I'm going do it on Rack. After I written extensions Lipa for communication with data source (in first order modbus).
