It looks like the closest we can get to a Java call is either: a) embedded shell command in Basic Sub call b) 'Execute' a Voc pointer from Basic Sub that has a shell command Does anyone have an example of this? a & b don't offer easy way to pass arguments, do they?
c) wrap the Java call in a C program and call that through the GCI I guess I could just use their C API (after all the hair pulling to get the Java API to run) A couple goals to guide methodology: 1) Multi-thread capability, persistent until finished, 1 authorization = 1 call 2) Speed, with desire to eventually make this 'on-line' authorizations if responses are fast enough (in milliseconds) Thanks to everyone for the corporate musings.
