FET on the Web or Cloud

[tmolise@gmail.com]

Is there any FET project which is meant to be hosted on the Web? If not is there a possibility to transform FET C++ code to Php/Java/Jasper Reports/XML so that timetablers can enjoy generating time tables remotely and students and teachers getting the time table reports on the Web.

Maybe there are some applications out there using FET for web, but I don't think they are free.

It would be a tedious job to convert FET entirely. A better approach would be to use the fet-cl (FET command-line) on the server having a .fet XML input file, then giving the results to the users.

I can talk about this some more and I can help with advice and maybe some code on this. Unfortunately, I know little or nothing about cloud or server programming.

I would like to know how it would be possible for me to build the xml .fet manually?

Generate a small .fet XML file from the FET interface, containing the data and the type of constraints you need, and examine it with a text or XML editor. Then create a similar file. It is just text (beginning with two special BOM - byte order mark - characters, but I think these can be omitted if you don't use special characters in your data).
