Package obixserver.module.external Description

oBIX External Server Modules

External modules allows out-of-process integration with oX. The external module sends a PUT/write request to oBIX server when update to objects is needed. This is slower and more resource intensive, but may be convenient in situations where in-process integration can't be done or is cumbersome, such as when dealing with a language other than Java. It's recommended that for security reasons subtrees that are writable by external modules are configured for authenticated and possibly encrypted write access.
