JGNAT - HTML generation

JGNAT - HTML generation

[Gautier]

Hello,

I have a random HTML-formatted text generator in Ada and would like to use 
JGNAT to display the generated HTML on a client browser and also eventually 
allow the user to generate it again.
The generator would also be part of the "Adapplet" - no cgi or server-side 
programming.
Do someone have a small code sample to fill (for instance) a frame with HTML, 
maybe also a "refresh" button, or whatever like that ?

The output could look like these ones

TIA

JGNAT is unsupported and I think pretty much non-functional with current 
JDKs (YMMV). I used it heavily for a project about 5+ years ago, and I 
believe it worked it okay with JDK 1.2, tasking broke with JDK 1.3, and 
beyond that I think you could count yourself lucky if you got a working 
program.

The demo applets work fine, and I don't need tasking for that funny
applet...

Do you mean, the applet produces the HTML that will be displayed
in the browser's window? That is, exporting some applet scripting
interface? (In this case you would be replacing elements of the
DOM by ID using the HTML code exported by document.Applet1, say.)

As for JVM compatibility settings, AppletMagic is a lot more up
to date in this regard.

It is the idea.
And clearly you know more about how to do it in detail than I do (easy: I have 
no clue!)...
Any piece of code ? Or we could do it together!
It should be no magic, just spitting HTML to the right place...

Since it is foreseen as a GPL, open-source project, I would prefer to be able 
to use JGNAT, even though it is a bit outdated.
