Using LiveLink API on remote JSP page

[jdbolt]

Hi, I am writing a JSP application which needs to use the LiveLink API to search LiveLink to see if a directory exists.

The JSP page wont be hosted on the same server as LiveLink, so I was wondering if there is a way to still interact with teh LiveLink API if the JSP is hosted on a different server.

If you have any examples or tips on how I can do this it would be greatly appeciated.

I wrote this a few years back but still the pardigm hold good
i)The livelink server on which you are running the search should accept LAPI clients(which almost very livelink server does)
ii)The lapi client files should be available in the webserver's classpath.All the other stuff is regular socket calls which the programmer neednot worry about.

I do not think running JSP,ASP etc has any problem since LAPI was intended to be run on a remote livelink server by a client which had the LAPI files.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
