Web app framework to call command line program

We're designing a Java EE web app (to run on tomcat)

It's intended to be a web interface for a command line program. Is there any framework/application that allows this?

i.e. JSP pages which will internally fire commands to a program installed on the same server as the Tomcat server.

The command line is a propietary non-Java program.

Be aware that your security manager will probably restrict the use of Runtime.exec() inside of your application server...

I've found this article to be invaluable when using .exec

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html

It has quite a lot of good example code, and shows many of the pitfalls.

You can make your own, its pretty simple,

capture command from jsp,And execute it on server using

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);

and send back the response

You can use java.lang.Runtime and its exec(..) methods to start command-line programs.
