Re: [xmlblaster] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xmlBlaster/client/I_Callback

Hi Michele,

We've ran the demos.. they're in fact pretty cool =) Now we're trying to 
pack one of them (SimpleChat) into a single jar, including the 
XmlBlasterClient.jar (this is the one needed for clients right? not the 
xmlBlaster.jar?), so that we can attempt to supply it via WebStart.. to 
access the ability of XmlBlaster to solve our problems...
The next step will be to embed XmlBlasterServer into our own application 
and provide it too via WebStart... this will be the foundation for our work.

Just one more question .. we wish to send Objects through messages.. in 
the previous version these were sent as XML... we're considering using 
something like XStream to serialize our objects ... these should then be 
sent in the topic of the message right? Or is there a better way to 
encode objects so they can be sent in the content section of the message?

At least an intro should be provided .. to get developpers going...  
Most of our doubts seam to be as silly as simple to solve but it's 
difficult to get the "big picture" when information is scattered across 
each of the requirements. One has to know beforehand what to look for.

regards,

Nelson Silva
