REBOL as "Glue" ?

[1/2] from: dvydra2::yahoo::com at: 5-Apr-2001 13:40

We are currently using ActiveWorks (WebMethods) to interface our product with various legacy systems. We are considering using REBOL as an alternative. We will need to interface with DB2 via ODBC and Oracle databases. Has anyone used REBOL for similar purposes? Any experience developing guaraneed delivery mechanisms in REBOL? Also, anyone used ODBC drivers with REBOL under NT? Is REBOL/Command ODBC interface robust? Thanks, David ===== please reply to: [david--vydra--net]

Hi, that's something I'm think about for a while now. Using Rebol as an EAI (enterpris application integration) layer to connect different systems via XML (or whatever) documents.

No. IMO you need something like a two-way transaction sending, acknowledge etc. But it should be possible.

The one (mySQL) I tested with /Command had no problem. Robert
