talking to other Smalltalk?

I have invested a lot of time to build a software in VWNC and now I don't want to migrated but in the meantime want to utilize Amber to build rich client web applications.

Now I'm facing a problem on how to talk to existing Smalltalk apps that do the server side work while sharing data it offers. I want to use getJSON on the Amber side and then the task for the other Smalltalk is how to provide the JSON-ized data.

Web programming is a new area for me. For now I just want to take the advantage of HighChart to visualize the data provided by existing Smalltalk server side apps.

Thanks for advises.

Yours,

Paul DeBruicker

Here's a way to do it using Pharo:

Maybe VW can do a similar thing...

Hi, take in account that the code at http://www.squeaksource.com/Amber.html is a →very early← prototype that I wouldn't recommend using for anything serious!
