calling jar in url ??
Hi, I just want to ask some help,can i call the jar in url like this
http://localhost/mytestsite/myjar.ja...mfile=view.php
and when it is called it will read the url and write it on the textfile?..I want to store only the view.php in the textfile...is this possible?
Thank you in advance.
Re: calling jar in url ??
What exactly are you trying to do? Pass arguments into the jar? Run the jar automatically when you visit a website? Something else?

Re: calling jar in url ??
If that URL is used in a browser to get a page from a server site, does the server know what to do if the file that is being referenced is a jar file? Often the server will return the jar file to the browser which will save it on the local disk.

Re: calling jar in url ??
What do mean by "call"?How do i call my "myjar.jar"
Do you mean how to start the execution of the class files in the jar file?
Open a command prompt window, change to the folder with the jar file and enter the command:
java -jar myjar.jar
Did you see post#3?

Hi Norm,
Thank you for the quick reply...yes i see,...okay i understand now.I will change my logic
by the way Norm,does the jar can look up the url if use the command java -jar myjar.jar ?
Re: calling jar in url ??
There can be special code written to execute on the server to execute the contents of the jar file. For example servlets or cgi-bin code or maybe php.

Re: calling jar in url ??
Hi Norm, Thank you,I am not familiar with the servlets,I'll just give a try on those options you provided.
