Gday again.

I'm having some trouble.  I can't figure out how to work Java and a cgi
request.  What I want to do is to collect some information from a web page
through a POST or GET method.  This would call a batch file (I'm running
win98), and invoke the java interpreter.  I can't figure out how to read the
data from the web browser, and how to get it back.

Any help much appreciated
Prescott

The best thing to do with Java is to use Servlets rather than CGI. This
means that you don't start a new process for each request, and so is
*much* faster.

You don't say which web server you are using. Have a look at
www.servletcentral.com and go to their 'resources' section for a list of
servlet compatible web servers for your platform. The only one I've used
on Win32 is Jetty (www.mortbay.com) but there are many others which will
work.

Let me recommend Java Servlets.   The Servlet API is similar to CGI, except
cleaner and intutiive (my opinion).

Let me suggest Live Software's JRUN Servlet engine.  To get started, let me
suggest you use the JRUN Servlet engine, along with the JRUN Web Server they
include in the JRUN distribution.  Later, you could connect JRUN to IIS or NES,
but for getting started it's easier to use the provided JRUN webserver.
