In order to create a simple blackbox simulator, we are going to use Java to send tasks and receive task status.
We have an IDL defined. It would be ideal if we could use XML-based DATA files. E.g. XML-based Tasks that gets sucked in and sent via DDS. When we receive a task status via DDS, that taskstatus datatype would be translated back to XML to output to screen/file.
As far as I know, there's no way for RTI DDS to parse/marshal XML-based DATA to/from autogenned RTI DDS type classes. If this is true, then what's the recommended approach?
