[Rd] Using R from Java

[Tobias Verbeke]

Hi Marzio,

> I am interesting in using R from a web application, for basic statistics and

> The simplest solution is a system call that generates the text or the image,
> then the servlet forwards the output. This can be done from any language,
> but it is quite inelegant and slow for the initialization time.
> 
> Is there any package or approach for accessing R from a Java servlet you can
> suggest?

The biocep project might be a good match, see
