In ARS version 7.0.x the plugin(s) are written in C. In 7.1.x plugins can be written in C or Java.
A 3rd option would be to write a intermediate web service (on a web server somewhere) that takes your request and executes the java call and returns the data back to Remedy.

Another question... At the first option that you said... I'll have to write a plug-in in C that calls a Java daemon??? How can I do this call?? Thanks for reply... Any other tips will be very appreciated...

The options I see: - write a java daemon (based on your java api) that accepts and responds to requests, then write a filter plugin in c to send/receive requests from that daemon. - fork a java process via set fields run process that returns the values you want (gonna be slow and prone to problems since you would have to parse a string of data) I am sure there are many other approaches, but these first two come to mind. The first is more intricate but once working will work faster and more reliably than the second.

We have to access data from an external database, but this database access has an interface implemented in java code... We would like to write a plug-in code that communicates with this java interface code (it's really a classic java method)... Workflow: On a ARS form we wish that when a user type the identificator field for a client (Account Number, for example) and press enter, the system bring back complementary information about this client (such as Name, Phone Number, Email Address, etc...). These complementary data will be returned by another mainframe server, wrapped by a java method called "getInfoByAccountNumber(String account)". I'd like to know what is the best way to implement this request. How can I call a java program that returns information and set this information on fields in my current screen??? Any tips will be appreciated! Please let's talk a little bit more about this ... If any of you have questions about this workflow please reply this email that I will try to explain that in details...
