Greetings. First of all, I want to thank all of you who are working on OpenACS, and everyone in this community.

Here is my situation:

I am trying to implement one module of simulation(for virtual laboratories) for dotLRN. I have thinked to implement in any lenguage as java or C++; therefore I have several questions.

1) How feasible is it to integrate one java o C++ aplication to Openacs plataform?
2) If, is right our idea, what are things that we should have to known?.

I thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Well, depends on the specifics for the simulation. For instance, if you are doing a java applet for interactive simulation or so, and if you want to take advantange of group based learning, you'll need to use a DB, that DB part should be an openacs package and then you communicate your applet with your db model through SOAP or RPC. That will be a good method.
