[Mono-list] IPC Scenario between a service and a web page

[Amc Gmail]

sure.
only the Mono-specific we have in Global.asax.cs something like:

public void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {

#if !USING_MONO
    RemotingConfiguration.Configure(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory,
"Web.config"));
#endif

for some reason Mono implicitly instantiate remoting channel(s) from Web.config
as result i have to do it explicitly only for MS.NET

we have .NET service in behind which is listening tcp channel in
SingleCall mode.
i am passing in (int and/or string) to remote object methods
and returning back int[] and string[].
it works without a single problem for 3 years on MS.NET and now on
Mono as well.
so, if your service is .NET-based then remoting, IMHO, the best.
in other place we tried event callback's over remoting but have to abandon it.
it doesn't work well in MS.NET (at least for our purposes).
