(elbie): how can you pass values from the objects in java to the perl program?

[elbie]

Depending on how you give those inputs to your java app, there might be another way. I realize that you said your app was standalone, but in the spirit of TMTOWTDI...

If you're calling an applet, and passing the parameters via the param tag, you could just pass the parameters to perl first and have perl spit out the html tags for you java applet afterwards.

I have a standalone java application which takes the user inputs. I am passing those values to a string Object like this-- contract_number = ivjTextField2 .getText(); member_id = ivjTextField3.getText(); start_date = ivjTextField4.getText(); end_date = ivjTextField5.getText(); and then, Runtime R = Runtime.getRuntime(); R.exec("d:\\ActivePerl\\bin\\perl rscdetail2.pl " + contract_number+" "+member_id+" "+start_date+" "+end_date); but it's not doing any thing. Thanx in advance!! PS: i am using Active Perl for Windows Platform and visual Age for Java.
