Using IDL with Java [message #26886]

I want to create an application which will call IDL visualization
routines from an Java servlet. Basically I just want to be able to use
a Java API to call IDL visualization programs which can produce jpg's of

my data. From what I've seen so far this might be possible using
ION-Java but it's not clear from the documentation I've seen. Can
anybody
comment or provide further details ?

Thanks in advance for any information or suggestions.

I agree with Pavel (although I have a 56K modem [yeah, right] for use at home). I live in a 2d
linux world so the point is probably moot but all the "download this plugin now" popups while
on the web drives me nuts. But then, I also don't have a telly and think my recently acquired
cell phone is the epitome of technological convenience. :o)

Spoken like a man living in a 2d world...

David's comment that VRML is dead is right on but for people doing 3d it is
the *only* way we can share our vizualizations with the world. I think the
price of a few minutes of downloading is far less than the price of an IDL
runtime license.

And you are exaggerating a little. Cosmo player is 3.2 MB. :)
