The software does work but would there need to be development on the interpretation of the output. But isn't it typical of the UK that when there are loads of very good people available companies don't take advantage of extremely low developer rates and get systems developed a lot cheaper and be ahead of the competition. Instead they will wait for the markets to tell them that every thing is better and like sheep (or lemmings) they will all want developers at the same time costing loads more. Who actually does any R&D I'm sure they do in the USA?

As well as laying off programmers left right and centre (I'm in the UK as well) they are loathed to spend cash in R+D I'd developed an airline ticketing system ages ago, but why bother when Openskies had the whole thing sewn up and were making a fortune (and I mean fortune)..... me vs them... no way. Get your product finished and tested then start to approach some people. Some guy did a cold fusion server in Java....... can't remeber what his name was now.....

In order to use them they would all need to have code written for each application and the application itself would need to written specially for external access. I am talking about a general purpose Win32 Application Bridge; some applications are a little friendlier than others but in general a legacy VB app can be controlled 24/7 by an application server. So far in my research I have not found anything that takes an existing application and turns it into an XML DOM ready for use by J2EE!!!

I am one of many freelance Java developers based in the UK who are out of work. While I hope the market will improve very soon I have taken the time to develop a prototype product, which I hope a company would like to develop it further. The product is a Java to Win32 Bridge, which enables legacy Windows applications to be controlled from a browser via an application server. Can anyone out there suggest a next step? Any advice would be greatly appreciated Best Wishes Andrew To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm
