[cups.general] CUPS Java API ?

[Rongfeng.Mao at us.sogeti.com]

Hi Michael,

First of all, thanks for all your effort put CUPS all together! 

I am new leaner to CUPS, currently, we are engaged with a client for
java/web based interface to connect to CUPS for scheduling and printing
to a retail store, when I do Google search, only find few simple Java
sample. Question here is:

1) Is there a place where I can find the full release of CUPS Java API?
2) How can we handle scheduling? For example, print a file at midnight
every day. Is this handled by CUPS scheduler itself? If so, where should
I look into. 
3) Or we have to write it from Java program and schedule it ourselves?
Thanks!

The CUPS source code (backend/usb-unix.c) shows exactly how we do it.
