IDL on the web? [message #67915]

Hi all,

I currently work for a science institute, and I have been assigned a
task to provide an IDL program on our public website.

The IDL program is a solar energy calculator. It requires inputs such
as latitude, longitude, tilt of the solar panels, months of the year
to calculate etc. It outputs a graph which shows you the expected
position of the sun relative to where you live.

I have been searching for over a day now, but haven't found anything
as to how to put this program on the web.

I thought of maybe two possibilities:
1. Create php front-end input form and shell out to the machine with
IDL installed (we will have to be running IDL the whole time). This
will require us purchasing another IDL licence.
2. Use the IDL VM somehow?

Appreciate your response.

Cheers,
Petula

Hi all,

Cheers for your suggestions. I have read the bridges documentation
and have a better idea as to how to achieve this. Unfortunately the
original application was not written in an object oriented way, so I
suppose we will have to rewrite that part in order to export using the
Export assistant?

Also I am trying to get the examples running on my MAC OS X (I got it
running in windows). And I keep getting this error:

Failed to load javaidlb from from default location.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
com.idl.javaidl.JIDLPAL.nativeInitJPAL()V

at helloworldex.helloworldex_example.main(helloworldex_example. java:

We would really like to use eclipse as our build environment. But I
don't seem to be able to get it to work even if I included the library
in the classpath, set all the environment variables in the idl_setup
and bridge_setup script.

Anybody have ideas? Appreciate your help.

Cheers,
Petula

Thanks Scott - I did use the -DIDL_LOAD_DEBUG and that was very
helpful. The problem was that it was using the 32 bit IDL, but I was
using jvm 1.6.0 (64 bit).

When you go to your eclipse project's Properties -> Java Build Path ->
Libraries tab, is javaidlb.jar there and properly resolved?

You can also try adding -DIDL_LOAD_DEBUG to your run configuration's
jvm arguments to possibly get more debugging info.
