Triggering a FileMaker script using JDBC

Asked by willmcn in FileMaker Pro Database, Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: FileMaker 9 or 10

I'm creating records in a FileMaker Pro database via JDBC. The data is coming from a Java applet that is managing information transfer between MySQL web servers and FM Pro. The Java applet acts as the interface between the servers and FM, with FM managing Inventory and Invoicing.

After the record is created in FM and populated with data, I need to trigger a script to do other processing of the record such as updating related Inventory records and setting Commissions. JDBC does not, as far as I can tell, offer this option in the way that I might do if we were using PHP directly from the web.

FM10's Script Triggers are object specific so that seems to rules them out, but perhaps not... I've thought about using a plugin script activator like ZippScript or DoScript, but don't think the script will fire because the JDBC connection is changing records directly on FM Server Advanced rather than in FM Pro. Any suggestions or experience with triggering a script in this type of scenario?
