Hi everyone, I just started programming with java and java servlets, and right now, I need to implement a servlet that will receive a barcode from a barcode reader, and then go through multiple searches, both in the net or in databases, and then display the results on a webpage.
Right now, I'm a bit lost, because I'm not sure how to make it work. How should I implement a program that "waits" for the barcode, and then sends the barcode to the servlet? Someone told me to use a thread running in Tomcat, but I have no idea on how to do that. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to progress? Thank you!
