JAVA: running program from website inputs
Hi, I was wondering whether any one advise me on how to do the following:
1) the website receives an input,
2) the input reaches the server, the server opens this java program to do some calculation and send the client the results for display
The thing is I have the program and I have the applet to collect user's info. But am not sure how to link the two toggether!
Thanks!

It seems the function of a Servlet. Do you know it?

These guys are correct about this being the job of a servlet.
This is why I asked for clarification. If you have a server that support servlets then wrap your java code in a servlet, parse the incoming parameters, execute the wrapped code and send back the results on the output stream as HTML.

the machine server is windows, Ok. But you need an applServer (answering on your windows machine).

Do you know "loopback"? In the net-world there is a particular ip-address 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
If you use this address when you call your webpage, you direct the querys,request,other to your local Pc.

Yes, use the localhost address and start an appServer with your servlets on local computer.

1.What web server?
2.Do you have the source for the java program?
3.How are you sending the results? HTML/Applet etc..
