I am writing a client server iPhone app. The server is J2EE based.
I need to communicate the state of my client object (objective C) to the server. It is possible (and feasible) to say encode the objective C object, send the bytes to the J2EE server through a socket and create a Java object out of this stream. If so, can you kindly point me to a starting point.
Thanks in advance
Anything is possible, but that does not make it feasible. Except the technical difficulties these interfaces tend over time to create a lot of management headaches, example when one or both sides perform an upgrade.
I would seriously consider using some encoding to some platform neutral format like protobuf, thrift, JSON, XML or similar.
