Hi all,
I would like to know if it�s possible to create a graphic user interface in
Java, and then access from Java to Lisp and from lisp to Java, and how can
I do It, using API�s, DLL�s, Clos, or another thing.
Please, if you know anything about this send me an e-mail.
Thanks,
Roberto.-

I think you have two main options:
(A) Have the two systems comunicate via sockets using your Lisp
vendor's extension for sockets.
(B) Link together via an intermediate C routine, using Java's FFI
to C and your Lisp vendor's FFI to C.

I think (B) is very difficult in practice. Usually, you can link C
into a langauge with a complex runtime easily, but mixing two
full-blown runtimes in the same program won't work in almost all cases
(i.e. for garbacg collection and Java has threads).
I'd like to add that effort are made to map CLIM directly to a Java
Front-End (i.e. some guys at SRI)
Then, there's Kawa, which is a Scheme compiler and runtime for the
Java virtual machine which is supposed to make it pretty
straightforward to use Java objects. At cygnus.com
ILU might be a higher-level way to use Network-connected
client/server. ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/ilu
If Javascript counts, too, have a look at cl-http, which has some
CLIM-like code to produce Javascript.

Thanx,

This server includes a facility for emitting mobile code
to the client. It wraps JavaScript or Java inside a generic
function method. The server is written entirely in lisp.
It also includes a presentation system, a basic client,
a web walker, and an html parser.
This is the best known environment for programming the web from
Common Lisp -- and it runs on all major platforms.

At least one of the big Lisp vendors is working on CORBA support, so
full-blown CORBA would be an option once that is available.
