Is it possible to run a server side Pro C application from a network clent?

I have about 2 dozen Informix/ESQL-C programs that I am converting to Oracle Pro C.
My client application must be platform independent, so I am coding that in Java.
The best way i can think of how to do this is to write the Pro C application as a shared library that can be accessed by PL/SQL. The Java client program would then call the PL/SQL procedure which would then call the Pro C app.

Does anyone have any other ideas of how to do this? Or should I just give up the ghost and start converting all the Pro C server side apps to client side Java? Received on Fri Apr 06 2001 - 20:54:03 CDT
