Hi Ankhee,
depends mainly on your favorite host language I think. Among other
suggestions (RPy), I think one of the most commonly used solution is
Java and the rJava package. That can be installed from CRAN.
That contains JRI so you can run R code from Java (and vice versa), I
know some people that use rJava, and I do, it has little documentation
but otherwise it works fine, and I think the Eclipse R plugin uses it
too. Then you could build your web UI in Java using eg. JSF, Echo2, or
ICEFaces.
If you like perl you might try RSPerl http://www.omegahat.org/RSPerl/
or try a patched version
http://www.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/groups/brf/software/wiki/HowToInstallRSPerl
where we have tried solve some issues. That worked for me at least on
a variety of systems. But maybe noone else is using that.
I don't like the "write script to temporary file and pass around
tables in textfiles" approach too much, I thinks it's not a real clean
and not very efficient approach. But that's only my 50cent ;)
