I'm trying to write a Java
interface for a CGI interpreter. As it is, I must write some Pascal-like code
which is sent to the interpreter. The interpreter can create Forms and
receive and process requests. I'm trying to implement a Java interface to
this CGI interpreter. The original interpreter receives the Pascal-like code,
builds a form according to the content of the file, processes the form's input
and the outputs the information.
The CGI interpreter is the front-end to another more complex backend. The CGI
interpreter allows a connection to the backend according to the code in the
Pascal-like file (or script, if you want). How can I simulate this type of
behaviour with Java i.e. how can I have my Java applet speak to the
interpreter and get the information returned by the interpreter? Is it at all
possible or are security restrictions too tight? I don't (yet) have access to
the CGI interpreter's code so I'm not sure how the connection is established.
Is it possible for a Java applet to "speak" directly to a remote process
without that process being a java applet or application? If so, where can I
start looking to understand how it works?
Thank you for your help.
