It depends on what you need to do and what needs you have for security. The simplest thing I can think of is writing a 'hidden' servlet and have another process send an HTTP request to it passing any needed arguments via POST. The servlet would have full access to webware. Obviously, depending on the nature of what needs to be done, this could open up a serious security hole since anyone could access if proper measures aren't taken. You can use httplib or urllib, on the client machine, to do the request. The servlet can perform the functions you need done and it can return the results in text, html, xml or any other form needed. You may also want to look into SOAP and XML-RPC for other remote execution techniques. They may provide another solution if this simple idea doesn't work for you. hope that helps, Ian Maurer Software Developer __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
