Data exchange between a java component and a Windows service

Thread view: 
Rubio - 11 Jan 2006 17:53 GMT
I need to print labels from a web application. The only solution I've
come up with is to have a java component that sends the information
that I need to print to a Windows service that does the actual
printing. I know how to write a Windows service that would, for
example, open a named pipe server, but I don't know how to connect to
the pipe with java, or if it's even possible. Any ideas (or a better
solution)?

   Wouldn't it be simpler to have the service listen on a TCP/IP port, and
have Java communicate to it that way?
