| [dsdp-tm-dev] HTTP/servlet-based remote access ? |
|
Through my ISP (www.webappcabaret.com), I have a web-site
hosting account which includes access to their Apache Tomcat servlet
container. I write and deploy servlets, but I don’t have privileges
required for running the “dstore” server (e.g. couldn’t open
the “dstore” port). What would I need to do to implement remote access to my
account, through HTTP-based requests which are handled by servlets (i.e.
servlets that I either write or existing RSE servlets (?) that I deploy) ? For instance, say I wanted to view a particular
sub-directory tree on my host account as a remote resource. Would I have
to write both client- and server-side implementations of some particular set of
RSE interfaces? (I do have FTP access and could use the existing
FTP-protocal support, but I actually want a more custom remote directory view,
e.g. one which doesn’t provide access to the top-level directory that FTP
leads to, but instead a particular sub-directory which depends on a current
“user” as defined by an Eclipse-based client-side username/password
prompt.) Thanks, Rich Wagner |
