Abstract
According to the preferred embodiment, a computer system and method for providing access to a software application from a web browser over the WWW is disclosed. The system includes one or more computers executing a web browser, a web server application, an application gateway, and a software application. The system and method allows a user of the web browser to access the software application. The user inputs data via the web browser, which is communicated to the web server application, which passes the input to a CGI module. Based upon the web browser input, the CGI selects an HTML template containing at least one variable. The variable is passed to an application gateway which requests a value for the variable from the software application. The value is passed back to the CGI and inserted into the HTML template in place of the variable. The completed HTML template is then sent back to the web browser. The application gateway comprises a web based interface to the software application in combination with templates that specify variables.
