RPC framework
Hi,
I need advice what RPC framework use.
I have 3 candidates:
Protocol Buffers, MessagePack, Windows RPC
Requirements:
- Windows only(I am sure about 90% that I stay in windows platform only)
- should compile in Visual Studio C++ without problems
- must have RPC generator (Protocol Buffers is serialization format but it is have some RPC client server generator, i do not know details)
- if i communicate locally i want to use named pipes protocol which is not based on tcp/ip. So firewalll not block it.
What for:
1. App running in user space communicate with NT service. Its send messages in per 2,3 seconds.
2. In future, I want to that App running in users space send messages outside computer to central server.
3. I have few machines with local database. And from other computer i need to access to these databases by RPC.

Well, first and most important of all, MS RPC is native to Windows and does not require the installation of any libraries.

Could I connect .Net WCF to native MS RPC server?
That's kind of an odd followup in an unmanaged programming zone, but yes - any way to connect .NET to unmanaged code (P/Invoke, COM Interop) will work here to. Also, see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clemensv/archive/2009/04/03/xml-rpc-with-wcf-updated.aspx ("XML-RPC with WCF")
