Hello Cristi, this is typically referred to as diparate sytems communications issue. In the past I have had some success between such sytems using a WSDL and messaging. I did not have a lot of time so I opted for the Apache Axis2 framework (http://ws.apache.org/axis2/). You will have to do some work but better than developing something with low-level Java nuts-and-bolts. The systems I glued together were: a C/C++/Oracle backend concoction to a .asp/vbscript(ed) front-end. HTH, David.

I would like for this specific user to receive a response from that system once the action is finished (it takes a fair amount of time) and the status of that action. My idea is to have inside Wicket application an ajax self updating panel, so that the database of the application gets read from time to time. The other application would send a "message" to the Wicket application (call some page with some page parameters), which would update the specific database table with the user who started the action and the response. Once the action is finished, the self updating panel (aware of this by reading it in the database) becomes visible and it will contain that message to inform the user. I think my idea is bad. If nothing else I consider it resource savvy. How do you guys handle communication between two applications (the other application is not written in java) in order to provide the response to the user without refreshing the page? Thank you very much in advance, Cristi Manole --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
