Dear Keith and all,
I hope my iPad could communicate with my servers. The servers run Java.
However, I don't want to use Web services. So I hope I could use BSD sockets
to talk with remote Java servers. I think XML should be utilized too for
this case.
I am not sure if it is possible to do that.
Best regards,
Bing
