Java servlet technology for analogue module generation

A World Wide Web (WWW) based client/server system has been developed which uses Java servlet technology. The system allows a server-side, process-independent layout generator servlet to generate active messages, which create design rule correct geometry of analogue components such as resistors, capacitors and transistors within a design system on the local workstation. This combination of server based servlets and active messages is a very powerful technique for developing remote applications which run in cooperation with a local design system, leading to real increases in system availability, functionality and performance.
