Can JSP be used in desktop applications

[Ash maker]

Hello,
Does anyone know an api / technical to use jsp outside of a web server (in this case a thick client). This for the simple reason that I would like to manage the display of certain data (beans stored, retrieved through a call to a web service) by converting them into html and then posting them in a swing component. I can hear that "you can just use the java, but we could say the same for all web designers, it is still not for nothing that invented the jsp. If someone has an idea, thank you in advance.

Hello,

It is still not for nothing that invented jsp

As you say it's not for nothing, But this is not for this purpose, if you want to continue, I see only recover part of a jsp web server such as tomcat, which is responsible for interpreting the jsp. Hope this information will help you. If you have any other question in your mind regarding this topic then you can post back.

Hi
It's a bit curious as demand, basically it would be to integrate a web container in your thick client (the coup, it may well carry the name of "fat client", even "super heavy" ) This is especially odd that you can do with an applet in your page that she can use Swing components to render. I think you have other libraries of java to develop desktop applications.

Hello,
When you talk applet makes me say that this is exactly the opposite of what I do. And what is to run a web container, you take me for a blue or what? I know it would be unmanageable. What I want to do is (or more precisely: "ideally should be) nothing more complicated or cumbersome than using a scripting engine in a program, except that places of choosing javascript from ruby from perl or python I'd like some jsp (which is never just another scripting language at the bottom, except that the mode of its compiler actually makes it difficult to use outside servlet container). If you want an analogy, take a php script that generates html, subject not to use certain features may also be called by apache.

Hi,
Well if you began by being more specific about what you want to do, because "I would like to manage the display of certain data (beans stored, retrieved through a call to a web service) by converting them into html then displaying a component in Swing." What interests you to convert html to display in a Swing component?

Hello,
I thought that "Is there anyone who know an api / technical to use jsp outside of a web server (in this case a thick client)" was eloquent enough. And your answer for that is

What interests you to convert html to display in a Swing component?

You do not mind off ? It is true that a desktop program that generates html that has never seen. And I even know that there are many libraries that can be used to create a desktop application in java. But I was just curious about it.
