Java calls from DCT

mangetak

Hi,

I´ve made many times callouts from a DCT implementing perl cgis. I would like to know how to do this in java.
When developing the call out in perl you can get the enviroment values this way:

my $form_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_form_name'};
my $element_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_callback_var'};
my $user_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'user_name'};
my $item_name = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_item_name'};
my $item_description = $cgi->{'form'}{'iw_item_description'};
....

So after this you are able to write back what ever you want on the element of the form that made the call.

My question is... Is there anyway to do this calling to a JAVA? How can I get in a Java file the enviroment variables from the DCT? How can I write back Information from the Java script to the DCT?

Thanks in advance

Those aren't really environment variables, they are POST variables. So, your java program would have to be written to be able to handle POST variables. As far as writing information back, you would do it very similarly. CGI simply expects the response to be written to standard out. So, everywhere you see in Perl a "print" statement, replace it with the java equivalent "system.out.println"
