Hello Tomcat,
I am a beginner-user of Tomcat and have a question.
I am developing an embedded data-measurement system. This system is running
under LinuxOS and equipped with many scientific measurement apparatus, such as
the Temperature measurement, Frequency/Spectrum measurement inside the optical
fiber, etc. Each of these measurements is defined as 'Spawn-able/deletable' process
on the Linux.
I would like to use Tomcat for the web-based remote-control of the system, as a
Java-Servlet application. i.e I would like start/stop a Linux process from a remote
PC's browser and collect data on Real-Time.
Browser----->Tomcat ----->"GateServlet" ---->Spawn a process on Linux.
Is it possible to execute a Linux Shell's Script-file via "GateServlet"? If so, please
let me know "how to do it".
Or, does it need to "get-out" of Tomcat, and we have to rely on some Inter-Process
communication between Tomcat(as a Linux process) and the other Linux processes?
I will really appreciate any of you answer& suggestion.
