Does anyone have experience using the Java 4.7 module? I have a potential opportunity which involves an application written for mobile apps in Java using a MySQL database. The app authors are interested in providing a web front end to the app as well. Not being a Java programmer, I thought, why not write the web portion in Perl and use the Java app to access the DB so that none of the schema information need be replicated in Perl.

In other words, simply let perl handle the Web front end and use the existing Java to continue handling the back end.

Am perfectly happy to have anyone with experience comment on the technical feasibility, or even the wisdom of such an approach.

Thanks in advance...
