using tapi to dial a phone number from richui egl application

["tim" <tim2006@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've created a RichUI application in which I'd like to add the ability to
dial a phone number when a phone number is clicked. 

 

This logic currently exists in a legacy rpg program by way of a call to a C
application residing on the users pc that dials the number. 

 

The web application exists on windows server 2003 that is running Apache
Tomcat/6.0.18.  All backend processing is done on an iseries. The phone
system is avaya.

 

Im not sure how to accomplish this. I was hoping someone could point me in
the right direction.
