Creating a website that accesses local java code

Question

I am trying to create a browser based application that can access Java Objects that I have created as part of another project:

For example, say I have created a Book Class that contains the parameter author and isbn:

public class Book
{
    public String author;
    public int isbn;
}

and I would like to be able to access say Book.author from an html page.

Would greatly appreciate a link to a tutorial on this type of code integration.

JSP = Java server pages. As tjameson says, this is a server thing. Can't really be done on the client. — DA.

Here is a good guide to setting up Tomcat and Eclipse to develop and deploy servelets and Java Server Pages (JSP): http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/eclipse.html

The tutorial includes importing and testing a sample app, which should show you everything you need.

Good luck.

For a local solution, you might use an JApplet (more modern version of Applet). Search for tutorials for JApplet. JSP is a server side thing.
