Passing Information from Java (Servlet) to CGI method?

Question

Hey folks,

I have this java servlet that grabs information from a form, I need to then take that information and pass it to a specific method in an .exe program and get the value that method returns.

Is there a good way to go about doing this?

Answer 1

If by ".exe program" you mean a DLL, you could use JNI to call methods in it from Java.

This is non-trivial but doable.
