How "external" is the external script? Couldn't you wrap the script into a cgi 
script on the same server and invoke it from the client with an AJAX call?

Bump... :)

Hello all,

I'm wondering if anyone has done anything like this before so, I thought I'd
ask it here.  Essentially, what I want to do is have a page / form that my
users fill out and then submit.  Upon submit I need to invoke an external
script (e.g..Perl, Python, VBScript, Batch etc...) that will do some quick
data gathering then insert some data in a database.  Once the script
generates the data the page will then retrieve it and render some results
based on it.  Most of the mechanics I can figure out I think, but I wanted
to get some tips on the best way to actually invoke the script from a page
in Xwiki.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated...
