bidirectional communication with Thrift or Protocol Buffers

(sorry for my english)

It's possible to build an application (2 in deed ) that implement bidirectional communication between process?.

I know two "Frameworks" to communicate different process (in different languages) Thrift and Protocol buffers.

I know that thrift works in a client/server mode, so if i want bidirectional communication i need to build the two sides/process like a client and server at time.

client/server <-------------------------> client/server

I don't know if this approach is correct.

But.. i can't find开发者_如何转开发 information about this using Protocol Buffers. is this possible?

I have a C++ process and a Node.js (Javascript) application .. the C++ process send a notification to de Node.js app (this works good, i use thrift to test) ..

In the other side, the user interact with the Node.js app.. in some event, the node.js app need to notify to de C++ process .. so i need bidirectional communication..

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

This post has some options for Thrift - Callbacks in Thrift Asynchronous Functions?

msdark's question is really about bidirectional event signaling and not simply bidirectional data transfer. Data may be transferred in both directions using Thrift or ProtoBufs. Fundamentally any IPC must transfer data both ways -- an RPC call and return value(s). Asynchronous client to server event signaling is built in using an RPC, but async server to client takes more work. There has been work in that area. The top two results in a Google search for 'thrift async' are good reads.

Thrift: Bidirectional Async RPC
