I updated the page with a link that explains how a string return value can be accessed. The method invoked by ExecuteInDefaultAppDomain must return an int, however that int can point to a buffer.
Some interesting ideas can be pursued: 1. Fetch data from external databases without using ODBC 2. Have J start up a C# / ASP.NET web server, with hooks back into J for processing 3. Anything available on .NET For #2, it be something along the lines of: a. J calls c dll which is a shim for a c# dll to start up web server in another thread, passes the address of the current J instance in the process [1] b. Upon a HTTP request, the c# dll pinvokes back to the c dll to do a JDo on the current J instance It might be interesting to try some day as an experiment. The only advantage I see over having C# call J directly would be that jconsole would still be available for evaluation, but there would be issues with thread safety. It's probably a question for another forum, but it would be useful to understand if J can be accessed from multiple threads if those threads only change local variables and read from global ones.
