I am sorry that the requirement is not described in detail in previous mail.
Please find the description in detail:
The basic design of the system involves in dynamic generation of HTML pages
using Servlet and JSP technology. One of the main requirements of the system
is to Capture information in RTF(Rich Text Format)/Doc(Microsoft WinWord)
format using WinWord. This is in addition to the other details on the HTML
page(like Name, Address,...etc). As part of the user's interaction from any
web page, the system needs to launch WinWord editor and let the user capture
the text. Unless the user is finished in the editor, the system should not
allow the user to interact with HTML page from where the editor is invoked.
In this context I have the following queries:
1. Can the Servlet/JSP generated page, control the flow for the above
requirement?
2. The editor should be able to be invoked from both Internet explorer and
Netscape. How should the editor be invoked? Using an ActiveX control wrapper
which does the basic control of WinWord?
3. How to pass the Document Info from the Servlet to the Page after
retrieving from the database and back to the Servlet to save into the
database. The document size can vary from few KB to 10MB.
4. Any idea whether such common classes are available from any Vendor?
5. Clearly this requirement is only for clients running on Windows
NT/95/98/3.1/Win-OS/2 as WinWord is available only for these platforms. Is
there any editor available for much more wider platforms and provide RTF
editing capabilities? Can Adobe acrobat writer satisfy the requirement?
I would be very happy, if somebody can reply whether the requirement is
understood or not (or) this is a more complex problem which is difficult to
discuss (or) such solutions cannot be implemented using Servlet/JSP/HTML
technology.
Any ideas or help is very much appreciated.
Thanks and regards

I need to capture RTF documents on the client from a servlet generated HTML
and save to database by passing the captured RTF text to the servlet. How to
invoke WinWord like application from an HTML page and return back to the
browser only after the user has finished editing the text in WinWord?
