Hi guys!
I have the following scenario:
- A web system written in perl/cgi/html/RDBMS (lets call this WEBAPP X)
- A requirement to make this system available by web and application (
java)...
- Can't rewrite the web system (WEBAPP X)...
What's the best way to complete this requirement???
I was thinking in something like that:
----------------------
| CLIENT WEB BROWSER |
----------------------
|
|
HTTP
|
|
-------------------
|
J2EE WEB SERVER |
-------------------
|
|
------------------
|J2EE APP SERVER |----<SCREEN SCRAPPING>----HTTP----| WEBAPP X |
------------------
|
|
|
RMI
-----------| JAVA APP|
Explaining: It's like the J2EE APP Server will have a SCREEN SCRAPPING tool , that parse the HTML generated by the WEBAPP X for response, and make request to CGI.
The browser client request the J2EE web server that request the J2EE app server that parser the HTML generated by the CGI/PERL/RDBMS.
The same from the JAVA APP but the acess is made direct on the J2EE APP SERVER by RMI...
Is that correct??? Any options???
Many, many thanks for everyone...
Sorry for the long question....
Please, any help will be very appreciated...
