How to call Java instead of perl

kaleemS

I am using the perl script to grab the data from other DCRs to display as drop down in the metadata tagging for the DCR.
I want to change the perl script with java OR XSL.
So,

How should I call java program instead of perl script from the javascript code?

Currently I am using following code to call perl:
IWDatacapture.callServer("http://"+server+"/iw-bin/myperl.ipl", params);

You may use a flavor of one of the two supported approaches.

You can code custom Servlet and call it using callServer mechanism or a DCR callout.
Check "TeamSite User Interface Customization Guide" for some details/sample.

Alternatively, you may use Datasource Framework. There are samples in "Workflow
Modeler User Guide" and in this Forum. Note that you can use this mechanism in both
Model instantiation form and in regular DCT.

Which method to use depends on what you actually need. The main difference is how the
framework obtains parameters and how it "propagates" Data back to DCR. From little you've
mentioned it *seems* that in your case Datasource may be simpler to implement.
