Dear all,
Here is a sample for web applications:
www.griaule.com/public_download/UsingGrActiveX2.rar
It shows how to use the component at the client side, capture the fingerprint, display on browser, and extract the template.
Additionally, there is a server side example of matching fingerprints using web services.
But notice, it will only run in IE, because it is microsoft activex. If you need to run on other browsers, keep using java. Also, it doesn't have an auto-installer like java, so there are two options, install griaule's component manually in every client, or implement an auto-installer.
Hope it helps.
