Hi,
This may be off topic, as the problem I am experiencing is not really in the servlet
side of things.
I am trying to divert the screen output from an application
to a servlet, and then process the information into an Excel sheet and display it to
the browser. Basicially this will be (more or less) a Macro that will run, and the results displayed
in a nice format.
Formatting the data into excel format is not the issue.
I am creating a Process with runtime.exec("blah") and then getting InputStream / OutputStream to the process.
The problem I have is that when I try to retrieve info from the screen,
using the InputStream.readLine() method, it keeps blocking until the application it creates is closed,
and it returns a null value.
Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks,
Dave Concannon
