Hello. If you have a minute, I have an approach question. I last developed J(2)EE apps around 2004. Those relied on JSP/applets/entitiy beans to interface with Oracle and stream files to and from an http server and launching on client machines.
I was looking at possible approaches today and was wondering using
JSF, is it possible for a managedbean to stream to and form FTP site then use Desktop API to launch the file on client machine? To me, I'm thinking managedbean is server-side and not possible.
The I guess now scripting is the way (XMLHTTPRequest, JSON). Is that the approach to look at and use
Tomcat or whatever as basically a container?
Thank you so much.
