SimpleIPCExpress provides seamless interprocess communication by allowing the hosting of unstable code in a separate process. The software enables scripting for writing most of the code effortlessly, while Java client offers easy interop from Java to .NET. Additionally, the tool offers multithreading integration with MS Office apps.
The application uses .NET Remoting over the IPC (Inter Process Communication) channel, but you don't need to be an expert on .NET Remoting to use SimpleIPC. The platform handles the communication and process life cycle details for you. SimpleIPC runs on Windows, and the code to be run in the external process must be written in a .NET programming language. However, your client code may be written in a variety of languages, including Java, VBScript/VBA, and .NET languages.
If you have some code that is useful but has the potential to throw unhandled exceptions and crash your application process, you can run this code via SimpleIPC. If there is a process crash, it will be one of the expendable external processes, rather than your application process. Your application can just repeat the call against a different external process and continue on. This way, there is no need for your end users to be impacted.
If you have some code that is useful, but it leaks memory, you can run this code via SimpleIPC and configure the external processes to recycle frequently. In this way, you can keep your application's memory consumption under control without sacrificing functionality.
If you need an expeditious way to perform one of several common programming tasks, such as invoking .NET code from a Java application, running a subset of your application's operations under a different Windows identity, or limiting concurrent access to shared resources in a multi-user environment, SimpleIPC provides simple APIs for programming tasks like object pooling and invoking web services.
Lastly, if you need to add multithreading to an MS Office app, SimpleIPC can help you with that too. It provides a variety of tools and resources that enable you to easily add multithreading to your application. Overall, SimpleIPCExpress is a fantastic tool that can help improve the efficiency and stability of your application.
