I already have some applications with Netscape/CGI combination. I am
planning to incorporate Java applets for certain applications which
cannot be done otherwise. One problem I am facing is to access
the database (an OODB), which has a C++ interface. The current
implementations talk to CGI scripts to access the database. To keep this
uniform, I would like to use the same mechanism for Java applets also, ie to
talk to some CGI scripts which will return the required query results etc,
so that I need not have to change that portion of the existing application.
The requirement is how do I use the applet to run a program
whether in C, Perl or Tcl on the server side and get the results back ?
It will be nice if some way I could tell the server to run a CGI script.
