Do you have any access to the server receiving the file? If so you could write a java client/server app. I am in a somewhat similar position with integrating a reservation system with our web site.
The reservation system came with a java client/server socket app. The client passes the data via the socket and the server side writes the file to a shared folder which is polled for incoming files. The system processes the file and writes a response file which then gets sent back to the web server via the socket connection. Unfortunately, the "factory-supplied" web implementation does not support the full functionality of our reservation system and our business logic is too complex for it as well. Therefore we are going to do something custom - possibly following the same java socket model. There is a lot of free info out there on the web dealing with java sockets. But you could also pick up O'Reilly's "Java IO" which is a decent reference for the classes most likely involved in whatever you develop if you go this route. Hope that helps. --Jeff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
