Well, that's nice, but for the average user, they can't or dont want to install a web server on their machine. That's what I was trying to get away from. This is a personal type application, not something you want someone else accessing.
You don't have to. The application just services requests on some port on localhost. It is not a full-blown web server.
A good example of this is most modern wireless routers. Almost all of them are configured by pointing a web browser at the gateway address on the local LAN side. It only answers a very limited number of specific queries with very simple HTTP.
I like the idea of Java, to write something that will run on several different platforms. How does it handle, say the differences in the file systems? like c:\directory and /mnt/directory? I've actually never tried Java. I'm wondering how difficult it will be to port something from PHP to Java considering I'm not an experienced programmer.
If you can program C, you can program Java. I would presume that PHP is on a similar complexity level.
