Hi Vinay, Yes, it's possible since you can transfer data between the container and your webserver using the request API.
Search something about using JSON and JAVA together, you'll see that it's really simple. Also, take a look on our wiki page, about signed requests. There's a java example there: http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Validating_Signed_Requests - Is possible. Add some apps in your profile, and you'll see that. :D - About session, you can use signed request to validate the owner, you dont need to validate the session. The container will tell you if it's a valid request. Let me know if you have any doubt. --Robson 2008/11/6, Vinay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Hello, > > I have been trying to figure out how to develop a gadget in which i > can pull the data from an existing j2ee web application.
