[OKC JUG] RPCs

[Paul D. Smith]

Jackie:

Maybe i'm missing something here, but why don't you use regular old html (input type='file')?  And if it's too hard to convert or integrate your "core Java program" into a web application use Java's Runtime to run the application in the application server's JVM.  That is, in the web application write something like this:  Runtime.getRuntime().exec("coreJavaProgram")

After you meet your deadline, i would suggest your next phase consist of converting the program into a web application.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Paul

Good morning 
all!
 
Sorry to be away 
from the fold for a while, but plan to come back for the September 
meeting.
 
I have a problem 
that I am hoping you (in all your infinite wisdom) will be able to help 
resolve.  I have written a core Java program that needs to be accessed via 
a web browser.  The process will be to upload a remote file to our 
server, process that data against the edit program while using additional 
command line arguments, and download the results back to the sender.  Those 
accessing this program will be institutions of higher education throughout the 
state.  We don't want each institution to have to download a JDK just to be 
able to run this program remotely.  
 
I've looked into GWT 
and experimented minimally with RPCs, but get more and more 
confused.  I don't see how I can be ready by the September 
deadline established.  I've found some snippets of code.  One for 
uploading files.  One for using RPCs.  But...when I put these into my 
Netbeans IDE, I get a lot of deprecation errors.  Been trying to reconcile 
these, but that too is time consuming.  Then finally, I don't understand 
how to put everything together.
 
If I've not been 
clear on something, please let me know.  
 
I truly will 
appreciate anything and everything that you may send my way.
 
Thank 
you,
 
Jackie F. 
Oram
