This fall looks good so far! A lot of JOLIE sub-projects are taking shape, and are going better than anticipated. But I'm blogging about something which has just landed on JOLIE's svn.

JOLIE now supports local sockets (a.k.a. unix sockets). How to use them? Let's see it by comparison; a communication interface over tcp/ip sockets is exposed like the following:

inputPort MyInputPort {
Location: "socket://localhost:9000"
Protocol: soap
Interfaces: MyInterface
}


Let's switch that to a local socket:

inputPort MyInputPort {
Location: "localsocket:/tmp/mylocalsocket"
Protocol: soap
Interfaces: MyInterface
}


That's it! Use the localsocket scheme in the Location URI, and supply the right path to it.
