[tcf-dev] remote process streams

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I’m trying to adapt TCF to work with the o.e.remote framework. While most of the work is already done (thanks!), I’m working through some implementation issues and have hit a snag. The o.e.remote framework does not put any restrictions on output streams from remote processes, however from what I’ve been able to determine, the o.e.tcf.te.tcf.processes.core.launcher.ProcessStreamsListener converts incoming data from bytes into a String (line 227) before passing it to a Writer (which only support character streams.) This breaks anything that tries to read binary data from a remote process. Apart from providing a complete replacement implementation of ProcessLauncher, can anyone suggest another way to get around this problem?

Thanks,
Greg
