[BioC] regarding web interface to R coding

[Michael Dondrup]

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 ;)
