<div><span class="960135814-18082009"><font size="2" face="Arial">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. </font></span></div>

<div><span class="960135814-18082009"><font size="2" face="Arial">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.</font></span></div>
