Any experiences anyone can relate on the following subjects:
- using NSTask to communicate with other apps (from WebObjects)
There doesn't appear to be a Java wrapper around the ObjC NSTask
class. Instead, try the native Java Runtime.getRuntime().exec()
methods.
- using platform specific code in WebObjects (on the server). I would
like to call some Cocoa functions and do some text/image manipulation
in the server and send the results back to the browser.
I have linked a WO app against the ObjC Foundation.framework so I
could use NSText to extract a String from RTFD data stored in a
database. This seems to work fine, so you should be able to do take
advantage of ObjC Foundation's text manipulation. Image manipulation
may be more difficult because you might need to link against
AppKit.framework. Some AppKit classes likely assume the existence of a
window server which isn't usually available for a server technology
like WO.
