Hi:

I'm developing am embedded system with Ethernet, USB and Serial
ports. I want to provide a GUI interface which the user can use to
configure and program the system. One approach is to use java and
deliver a compiled/compressed file to a browser that provides that gui
interface.

My question is are there alternatives to this approach that I can use
with either the USB or Serial interfaces?
What I'm trying to avoid is writing software that needs to be
installed on a users system.

thanks

Why not CGIs? they are more robust and can do complex things. In this
case users don't need to have anything (jre) installed on their
machines.
