This is __highly__ relevant to your question.
What is the big deal to have an Ada application that embeds a small web
server. Then start up your browser with http://localhost:PICK-A-PORT-HERE
(or have a shell script/bat file that runs it with the URL) and THERE YOU
GO!! Same PC as the APP.
For example:
The 1997 Britannica CD was written this way, the 1998 uses IE3.02 Web COM
objects.
The non-COM method is of course portable and has the advantage that the app
can also be run from a different machine then the one where the Ada
application is running. (If you wanted you could detect where the connection
is coming from and refuse non-LocalHost connections also.)
The Java code posted just proves my point. Add to that some simple handling
of forms (and XML if you must) and there you go.
If I could spare a couple of hours I would put such an app together, but I
don't have them right now.
