I'm working on a Dynamic WebService Invoker plugin for Servoy.
I was wondering if this might be applicable to our situation here. As a cancer center we track survival of patients (different disease stages, treatments, etc.) to help find cures. If a patient has been lost to follow up, there is a website (the social security death index) in which one can enter the patient's social security number to see if their death has been reported. I developed a way within FileMaker to have it automatically query the website with the patient's SSN although I never developed a way to extract the date of death if there was one. In moving to Servoy do you think your bean might help with this? This website is subscription based. If you think it might be possible could I copy what I think are the relevant html pages and the relevant data within them to further explore this? A bean such as you are describing, combined with a method to place extracted data from the web page within the solution would be a huge step up in our efforts to track this in a timely fashion.
