Ah sleep is good ...
Ok revisiting this I can see the wrong path I went down to ...
I built a servlet for the ijetty web server that launches an Activity
once
a particular remote request comes in. The ijetty code provides the
AndroidContext
in all servlets through:
Object o =
config.getServletContext().getAttribute("org.mortbay.ijetty.contentResolver");
android.content.ContentResolver resolver =
(android.content.ContentResolver)o;
androidContext =
(android.content.Context)config.getServletContext().getAttribute("org.mortbay.ijetty.context");
So while implementing the methods for the servlet I got carried away
with the fact that I had
the appropriate context available and used the Context's startActivity
method and the Intent object to launch
the Activity (after I declared it in the ijetty's AndroidManifest). I
kept looking in there for the startActivityForResult
I needed a bit more reading on the difference between the two
startActivity methods across two different classes in the inheritance.
The code snippet I sent out does work but I cannot of course use the
startActivityForResult.
Up to this pt I was having the launched activity save the results in a
file and then had the servlet poll for
them but that's not an ideal solution. The servlet itself implements
HttpServlet so by not being an Activity
I could not see how any callback to it would be possible - what do you
think?

I agree with that but I need to figure out how the servlet fits into
this. I could launch
the activity as a service.

Where do you see that? The intent I am starting is an Activity class.
Can you explain please?
Thanks again for the feedback to all fo you - it certainly helps
