Hello all,

I'm fairly new to Java programming (actually I did use Java for quite some time, but only for standalone applications).

I have this small Java application (plain and simple) which takes a few arguments. I want to be able to invoke my application from a webbrowser (and pass some parameters), so by URL.

My question is plain and simple: how should / could I do this?

Best, R4D2

You'll need to wrap your program with a "web application" on an "application server." The simplest web application is a servlet that takes parameters and calls your program. Tomcat is a simple server to install.
