Can jInterface be used without nodes?

Question

The whole node concept in Erlang assumes that the nodes are secure.. always. There are roundabout methods floating on how to solve this problem but no real Erlang node solution.

I am in the process of building nodes between Java and Erlang but have the problem of security. Now I am faced with ssl over tcp/udp. I don't want to write my own protocol (disregarding the application level protocol) if I don't have to.

Can I use jInterface to parse terms to & from an Erlang tcp/udp server if I use binary_to_term & term_to_binary on the Erlang side?

Answer 1

Of course you can use the library to decode terms. By the way there exist BERT (Binary ERlang Term) that you may use for communication.
