The existing Java API for DDS, which is derived from the IDL PSM (Platform-Specific Model), limits cross-vendor portability and performance. It also fails to take advantage of libraries and facilities unique to the Java platform, such as generic types and built-in serialization support. The proposed RFP (which was later issued with document number mars/09-12-16) asks submitters to propose an improved Java API to remove those limitations.

Hi All,

Beside of getting the honor to post the very first topic in this forum, I'd like to tell you my personal experience with Data Distribution Service.

I started to get familiar with DDS about 5 years ago, around the time DDS evolved from a two-company-idea to an open standard backed up by the Object Management Group.
