Hello,

What would be the easiest marshaling/unmarshaling method for C library
to communicate with a service written in Java (Note: these two can
resides in different hosts). The C has typical native complex data
structures to send across the wire.

thanks in adv,

I would go for the simple solution: manual marshal/unmarshal on
both sides. Java with DataInputStream/DataOutputStream.

Anyone has experience with this? Could be quite difficult to do that
manually, one would like to generate 'marshalling code' based on
definitions in C header files.

OP question; another simple option is JNI but the JAVA process
implementing the bridge will have top be at the same host as the C
library, the interfacing between this JAVA bridge and your server app
is then quite simple via RMI. Maybe a lot of overhead?
