I use a tool called ODBiC.exe which is a sort of CGI or ISAPI type tool used
for accessing ODBC databases from web pages. Very powerful and easy to use
(cheap too!) One of the benefits is generating web pages of database
information from local databases. Then upload the files and you are done.
One feature that I was going to mention a while back when the topic flared
up was it's ability to hide input fields when passing them to the ODBiC.exe
program for processing. You could also use it, then, to pass the hidden
inputs to servlets, too. I am using it this way and it works well.

Subject: Local File I/O
A customer of mine, has some data that they want to put on the web. It is
very small in size...but their web hosting has no database capabilities. I
was thinking about storing the data in local text files on the server and
then reading the files in and generating the html. However, I am not sure
if servlets can open up text files on the local server, and if this is
feasible.
The data is updated every two weeks, but I'd rather update the text files,
than updating static html pages.
Any input and help will be greatly appreciated.
