jesse, thanks for your feedback.
though, i have managed to get TCP/IP communication happening within the web application. by that i mean that my web app can send and receive messages to another app on a set port. but i am not sure how should i run this process. i mean i would like to run this process as soon as my web app starts-up. i tried putting it in the PSEngine class where it also connects to the db and it looks to work fine with just one problem, after the socket is opened up, its waiting for some response from the server and in the meantime the application is not loading up. even if the external application sends a message, my web app is able to receive it but its not going ahead any further. i mean the pages are not rendering and it seems to be not going past it. i am thinking of perhaps putting this functionalty into a hidden frame where it doesnt block anything. can somebody think of a better way of doing this. thanks for all the help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
