RMI
The wayland protocol is a async object oriented protocol. All
requests are method invocations on some object. The request include
an object id that uniquely identifies an object on the server. Each
object implements an interface and the requests include an opcode that
identifies which method in the interface to invoke.
The server sends back events to the client, each event is emitted from
an object. Events can be error conditions. The event includes the
object id and the event opcode, from which the client can determine
the type of event. Events are generated both in repsonse to a request
(in which case the request and the event constitutes a round trip) or
spontanously when the server state changes.
the get_interface method is called on an object to get an object
handle that implements the specified interface.
EMBEDDING OTHER WINDOWS
X11 lets clients embed windows from other clients other copy pixmap
contents rendered by another client into their window. This is often
used for applets in a panel, browser plugins and similar. Wayland
doesn't directly allow this, but clients can communicate GEM buffer
names out-of-band, for example, using d-bus or as command line
arguments when the panel launches the applet. Another option is to
use a nested wayland instance. For this, the wayland server will have
to be a library that the host application links to. The host
application will then pass the wayland server socket name to the
embedded application, and will need to implement the wayland
compositor interface. The host application composites the client
surfaces as part of it's window, that is, in the web page or in the
panel. The benefit of nesting the wayland server is that it provides
the requests the embedded client needs to inform the host about buffer
updates and a mechanism for forwarding input events from the host
application.
