Re: EGL RichUI Was:Re: From RGP to ¿Java?

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete, there's nothing stopping you from encapsulating your Java code in 
an EGL service and then invoking that service from RUI.  EGL is very 
good about accessing Java.  The only thing the service would do is to 
translate between an EGL record and the parameters that your Java 
routines take.  The RUI would call the service passing the record, which 
would in turn invoke your functions, and life would be wonderful.
