Re: XAP integrated into web page

This will depend on the device concerned - many (most?) xAP devices
spontaneously broadcast status, not all will respond to a proactive request
for information (called targeted addressing in xAP parlance).
My xAP cache utility was written to capture specific xAP messages and allow
them to be rendered in an html page - so it does what you are after - but I
think you're after a turnkey solution, and this may well not be the easiest
route to achieve what you want to do, as it isn't especially well
documented
and requires a bit of technical background to get it up and running.
If the device supports a targeted addressing, then you should be able to
use
a simple command line utility invoked as a cgi-script to send a canned
message and capture the response synchronously. There's many ways of
skinning this cat - python, perl, php - whichever web scripting language
you
feel most comfortable with.
If you want to have a go, xAP cache is here:
