See stefandagerman's answer for information about what Splunk Web apps are. There might be some way to do what you are thinking of (I don't know enough to rule it out completely), but it would be...unusual.</P> Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:21:53 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/How-to-develop-splunk-app-using-java/m-p/99847#M1421 ChrisG 2013-04-18T19:21:53Z
