RE: Combining HTTPAPI and YAJL Libraries

[Karen Kvicala <KKvicala@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I figured I was not the only one who had tried this.  Since, like
   everyone else, I don't have time to change the source, I tried a work
   around.  Essentially, here it is.
   1. Restore HTTPAPI to main library WEBTOOLS
   2. Restore EXPAT and YAJL to their respective libraries.
   3. Copy all objects from the EXPAT and YAJL library into WEBTOOLS.
   4. If there were any duplicates, rename the duplicate source for EXPAT
   and YAJL just to keep it separate. (I can get away with this because
   the restore file had all the compiled objects, at least for YAJL.)
   5. Call the INSTALL program for HTTPAPI to create objects into library
   WEBTOOLS. (By renaming the EXPAT and YAJL prototypes, the install will
   use the appropriate HTTPAPI prototypes.
   This leaves the HTTPAPI version of IFSIO_H as the default prototype.
   This is not the way I would prefer to do it, and it may cause problems
   later, but so far so good....
   Thanks!

   I looked at just IFSIO_H at one time - trying to get it down to just
   one version. The changes between the various utilities use different
   versions and it will take source level changes to get to one version.
   It can be done but then you have custom code and I am sure you were
   hoping not to have that.
   Be aware that you might have other utilities that use IFSIO_H and
   ERRNO_H. This was what I was trying to resolve when I worked on this. I
   decided at the time that I didn't have the time/energy to make it work
   that way.
   As an alternative, the source can reside in their own homes and you can
   compile the service programs in production or move them.
   If you do get to one version of the truth, you might want to share the
   modified code as this would be a nice thing to have. Maybe Scott would
   publish as a new version.

   Subject: Combining HTTPAPI and YAJL Libraries
   We are currently using the above libraries to create a web service,
   marginally including EXPAT, as downloaded from Scott Klement's open
   source.  Currently these work great in their own libraries.  However, I
   have been asked to combine these into one library for easy maintenance
   before putting in production.
   I started by restoring HTTPAPI into a library called WEBTOOLS, then
   restoring the other two into their own library and using CRTDUPOBJ into
   the WEBTOOLS library.  In trying to do so, I found a conflict between
   the following prototypes: IFSIO_H, ERRNO_H, EXPAT_H.  Although named
   the same between libraries, these prototypes are coded differently.  I
   want resolve this issue before calling the INSTALL program for HTTPAPI.
   Right now this is an experiment to see if I can get everything to play
   well in one library.  Has anyone else tried to combine these into one
   library?  Is it possible without a lot of modification?  Currently we
   aren't planning to use XML, but I want to include EXPAT in case we need
   to in the future.
   Thanks!
