Hi, Jim,
I am unclear about your question. The Web can easily take care of this sort
of thing. Certain there is no trouble with a number of Java solutions to
the job at hand. I am not sure why you would think that Java could not do
this. It is a relatively easy task. It's just a matter of banging the
solution out, really. You must have an underlying problem that you are not
articulating?
If you are an administrator that does not know the limits of the technology,
then the simple answer is that this is easy.
