Thanks for your response Robson. Appreciate it. Please bear with my in-experience with Opensocial and widget development. I tried to search, as u suggested, for json and java in google group and google but was not able to get my hands on anything concrete.
In search there are articles where people talk about "opensocial container" (opensource shindig) and i am thinking that I dont need to implement it to make my sample application work. Can you give me some pointers on server side java app + widget communication. many thanks On Nov 7, 9:43 pm, "Robson Dantas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
