Its unlikely I'd ever use it for that, but the deploy/update software aspects may be useful fairly soon. As far as the server communication aspects go, PHP will most likely do everything I'd need. This is fortunate since my web host supports PHP doesn't support anything specifically Java-related. At present I'm considering the pros and cons of: (a) distributing a free-standing Java application, possibly via Web Services or (b) using a PHP-managed web page to capture requests, transfer them to my box as e-mail, where they'd get validated, run through the Java application, and the results e-mailed back to the sender. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
