[fpc-pascal] Does Free Pascal generates Java bytecode

[Gilles MARCOU]

Hi,

this is silly question but I saw that is was an idea posted as feature
idea. In fact, I'd like to provide some small applications that could be
downloaded and executed into a client web browser. As I understood, java
does this through dowload of the corresponding Java bytecode onto the
client that is then interpreted by the JVM. So is it possible to compile
a Free Pascal application to a Java bytecode interpretable by the JVM?

In fact I am not particularly attached to the JVM. I am interested by
such feature so that a client goes to my web page, and if the applet is
not on his computer it is automatically downloaded and interpreted into
his browser.

An acceptable alternative would be to write a desktop application that
connects to a server-side application or an HTML form. For instance,
such application shall be able to send a query to a dedicated list of
public SQL databases. Is there some library to write applications that
can communicate through the web? Something equivalent to LWP for Perl
for instance?

Sorry if I am mixing a bit stuff.

Does anyone have suggestions?
Ciao,
Gilles Marcou
