Labview Java Servlet interface

[JacoNI]

Hi. I am researching and making a plan for a project. The Goal is to Use LabView trough the internet with a java servlet to make circuits and designs in the front panel and back end (block diagrams).

I have to use Java (Servlet) , PHP, SQL, CGI in a project.

Is this feasible or am I aiming in the wrong direction.

I don't know what you mean by circuits and designs. When I hear these terms, I think of electronic designs and schematic capture. LabVIEW doesn't do that. If you want to somehow automate the creation of programs in LabVIEW, that's not really supported either, at least for us folks that don't work for NI. There are some properties and methods for doing scripting but none of that is documented for users. Explain a little more about what the overall goal of the project is.

What I mean by interface is creating a link to Labview to use it..as you whould on the PC thats infront of you.

And i dont work for NI...I am just an intern 😛

I wasn't suggesting that you work for NI. What I was saying that if you want to 'create' anything programatically, you will be on your own as the API for creating front panel objects and wiring on the block diagram is not documented or supported for general users. This is a topic called LabVIEW scripting. If the idea is to simply let remote users 'run' an existing LabVIEW program, then that's pretty easy to do. But, if you want to give remote users the ability to create a new LabVIEW program without having LabVIEW itself installed, then you have a very difficult task ahead of you and you might want to look into possible licensing issues. Logging into a remote computer with something like VNC is doable but I don't think that is was you are attempting. If you do want to pursue LabVIEW scripting, there is a forum on that suject at http://forums.lavag.org/.
