Calling a external WAS program from a view

[Former Member]

Hi all.

I'm trying to call an external WAS program from a view. The external program is a emulator that is installed on c:emulator (frontend). It's composed by more than one files and is necesary to run the exe file inside the directory.

I has been trying with two possible solutions:

1)

I implemented a JavaScript. When the user press a link the JavaScript create an active control:

var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
ws.Exec("c:/emulator/emulator.exe");

with this JavaScript is called the emulator.exe but it dont't work !!!! the application is launched but don't finish with the charge of data and don't respond, its like i get the emulator.exe and copy it to the root c: !!! it don´t work because need the other files inside the directory c:emulator. I suppose that this file (emulator.exe) is upload to the server like a MIME at runtime and executed (it never gonna to run because is necesary to upload all the files--- i suppose it).

2)

When the link is pressed the controller's view catch the event

DO_HANDLE_EVENT

and i use the class

cl_gui_frontend_services->execute

for execute the application but it raise an error.

i knows that sound strange imaginate one internet page executing programs in your pc but i need to do it.

If some body can help me.....

Or you let the user to download the doc and open it in an editor of his choice. thats we way -I guess- most websites do.
