POCalling Java functions from R using RProtoBuf (Protocol Buffers)
text
Body
copied!<p>It is not entirely obvious how to go about using RProtoBuf for communicating between R and other languages (Java, in my case).</p> <p>The RprotoBuf Developers developed something that is still here - <a href="https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/java/?root=rprotobuf" rel="nofollow">https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/java/?root=rprotobuf</a>, but it seems very outdated. I am not sure if this is the way to go. Here are two conversations between the authors of RProtoBuf that might help with understanding the code -</p> <p><a href="http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rprotobuf-yada/2009-December/000116.html" rel="nofollow">http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rprotobuf-yada/2009-December/000116.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rprotobuf-yada/2009-December/000119.html" rel="nofollow">http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rprotobuf-yada/2009-December/000119.html</a></p> <p>It seems that they started work with Java and then abandoned it in C++'s favour!</p> <p>Is there anyone using R-RProtoBuf-Java combination? How do you do it? Is there a tutorial or example available?</p> <p>My exposure to Java is very very limited. I want to use a few programs written in Java.</p> <p>Edit : To clarify, I suppose I want to see an example of an R rpc client being used with RProtobuf. Pointers towards Java RPC servers would be welcome.</p> <p>Edit2 : The first link actually points to some documentation generator code, as Dirk pointed out.</p>
