This is very interesting. I haven't yet tried the java program below, but your email raises the questions of what exactly is the protocol needed to talk with the server. There is one, but it isn't really written down anywhere. One can partially reverse engineer it either by looking at the javascript in the notebook itself, in the file SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/server/notebook/js.py or by looking mainly at the file SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/server/notebook/twist.py which actually maps URL's and post/get requests to actual actions. Undoubtedly, you'll rapidly run into situations where the current "notebook server protocol" doesn't do everything you need, or does things in a way that is possibly too confusing. Please post when that happens. Just as a very quick overview, most things are done using very simple URL's. For example, the print version of worksheet 9 is got via: http://localhost:8000/home/admin/9/print and there are numerous other worksheet-related commands that are all of the form http://localhost:8000/home/admin/9/command_name Probably in many cases, without modifying the notebook server, you'll have to do lots of "html --> something else" parsing in your java / SAGE IDE ? This is perhaps not desirable, and could be avoided by adding some more functionality to twist.py. Anyway, perhaps you could post back with a few examples of specific things you'll need from the notebook server for your java ide, and I can think about how best to actually do them? -- William > Anyway, the application can be downloaded from the following URL if > anyone is interested in looking at it: > > http://206.21.94.60/tmp/sageide_dist.01.zip > > Java needs to be installed in order to run the IDE.
