It's the On Demand day for us all today. So, we here at ThoughtMakers decided to come up with something that can benefit the Open Source community at the same time related to On Demand. So, here we are with this cool Compile On Demand Java tool. We've hosted this on our ThoughtMakers website. So how does it work?
Well, the user just writes his code in the template we've provided and once done, clicks on "Compile". Our backend systems pulls the code and does what it has to do and streams the result over the browser and there you got the executed program.
So, how did we complete the jig-saw? Well, firstly, the HTML that posts contents to the backend server. The backend server reads the entire content which is the code and saves it locally making up a java file. The backend logic also knows to call system commands as batches and compiles the newly saved java file. Any error encountered is returned as stream and the same is given back to the user as html content. If all goes well and compilation is a success, the same is executed again by calling system commands as batches and the same is given back to the user as html.
Simple? Yes. Useful to the Community. Open Source it all.
Thank you folks.
Awesome!!!
