how to write web apps for java?

[Dy7SLyTq]

so i want to write a basic little terminal for website, and i want to use java. does anyone know a good site to learn how to write java apps to embed in html?

[Dy7SLyTq]

never mind im using http://java.about.com/od/webapplications/ss/firstapplet_3.htm

I think the more interesting project, especially pertaining to this site, would be how to do it in C++. :D

How to make a terminal for a website in C++?

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/cpp_web_programming.htm

Though, I thought CGI was outdated and not used that much. :/

[Dy7SLyTq]

wait wait wait... cgi is c++? i thought it was php... i feel really upset now. is there like a framework that will let me use c++ with my website? i dont want to have to switch over to cgi just for a terminal

[S6k9GNh0]

I know how, I'm just saying it's more interesting than Java in this case (given that this is a C++ forum).

CGI isn't outdated... rather, it's the only standardized method I know of to execute anything that isn't built directly into a webserver. There are more modernized methods of executing a CGI script such as FastCGI or Simple CGI which accomplish the same thing in a more efficient manner.

AFAIK cgi is any script in any language that generates html pages

[Dy7SLyTq]

oh... sorry. when i read the wiki a while ago i thought it was an api for php

[S6k9GNh0]

DTSCode, I'm sure there's quite a few. If not, it's not hard to generate HTML and create one yourself.

EDIT: http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt#/

EDIT2: http://www.treefrogframework.org/ Also looks interesting.

[Dy7SLyTq]

yeah i read something online now so i understand what cgi is now. so i can still do it in php then. awesome

[Dy7SLyTq]

so i installed webtoolkit using apt-get (it recommended it) and then copied the code and compiled it, but im getting these errors

i also ran apt-get update and ldconfig (even though i think apt-get did it already)

[Script Coder]

Well from your output I can say two things, firstly update your boost and secondly please post the code, or preferably a shortened version that gives the same error.

[Dy7SLyTq]

i didnt post the code because its the one you see on the site. but i will when i get on my laptop. my boost is up to date because i had to build from source when i was using it for my compiler. its like 1.5.5 or 1.5.2 or something like that

[naraku9333]

Are you linking boost program options?

-lboost_program_options

[Dy7SLyTq]

no it told me how to compile and what libraries i needed to link to so i just used that

edit:
i decided to try out the tree frog one though. it looks a lot better than the webkitone
