Feb 16, 2012 at 22:15 comment added Mike Honeychurch Since posting that I've now been told that it is a bug that it works -- i.e. it is not supposed to.
Feb 16, 2012 at 21:46 comment added Jens Bewildered is the right word.
Feb 16, 2012 at 15:29 comment added Jens Assuming you can prevent MMA from throwing an error when the license limit is exceeded, this bottleneck can create inconvenient delays for users. I wouldn't do it, though. Even octave would be better than MMA for a server-side generated graphics task.

Feb 16, 2012 at 7:42 comment added Szabolcs @Jens Why is it a problem if several people try to access it concurrently? The evaluations to generate the image can just be queued up.
Feb 16, 2012 at 6:33 comment added Jens OK, I'm leaving a CDF up at that URL I posted, but it's modified such that it will do something useful in the regular CDF player (not dependent on Mathematica). I'm going to edit my answer to reflect this.
Feb 16, 2012 at 1:04 comment added Jens Sorry, I'm in a hurry but it does look like CDF player without Mathematica can't do what I thought... That is so sad.
Feb 16, 2012 at 0:48 comment added Jens @Szabolcs: that's not a viable option because you can't guarantee how many web site users will concurrently try to run a MMA process). Regarding the claim that it doesn't work: could someone please test the CDF I posted here: pages.uoregon.edu/jenscls/readData/Untitled-2.cdf (if you confirm that it works, I think it will point the OP toward a solution to his problem). The lack of a text input field is not the central issue in this question, I would say.
Feb 15, 2012 at 23:44 comment added Mike Honeychurch Without going into a lot of detail I've explored a lot of ways to get things "into" a CDF with Wolfram. Also you ability to import "allowed" stuff (paclet data) into CDF is constrained when the CDF is embedded as well unless you embedd in "full screen" mode and press the button to override the security warning.
Feb 15, 2012 at 23:06 comment added Leonid Shifrin +1. I guess one can create a sort of a virtual keyboard (buttons) to enter word letters in this way, with the mouse - if so, CDF may still be used, if I get it right.
Feb 15, 2012 at 22:44 comment added Szabolcs I am wondering if the license permits using Mathematica on a webpage (i.e. writing the minimal functionality required for this instead of getting webMathematica)
