Local PC interaction with WebApp

I am currently working on a corporate intranet. Part of the requirements is for the application to run the program on the local user PC (Minitab), and then communicate with it through webapp through the webapp interface.

What are my options for doing something like this?

  • Signed Java Applet and Jacob
  • ActiveX and .NET (this will only work in IE, right?)
  • Flash? (Can I flash a local PC?)
  • Silverlight ???

I tend to try a java approach (all users will have Java and Flash installed), but I'm wondering which path is the least resistance.

The application runs on Apache2 / Python / modwsgi on Gentoo Linux. All users will run WinXP or Win7 with Firefox or IE6 / 7/8.

Thank.

Flash and Silverlight are not initial for this requirement.

ActiveX will work, but you're right, this solution is for IE only. If Firefox support is important, then you also need to make both ActiveX and the Firefox extension, as well as not contradict.

So that leaves the Java applet. If it is possible to give the Java applet the correct access to launch another application, and there is a channel that you can use to communicate between them, then this is it. Of course, this sounds like the first line of query that you should give.
