play mp3

Hi:

I have a VJ++ standalone application that could play

.wav files and surf web. Also i have another web-based

JSP/Servlet application with server running Linux +

Tomcat+ Apache. I am now have to integrated the two

applications. The problems are: 1) VJ++ application is

not supported by linux, i have to either rewrite it to

java or other language. 2) Java does not support MP3

format. If i rewrite to java, .wav file is too big for

customer to download through browser i have convert it

to mp3, but mp3 is not supported by java. 3rd part

software is not good choice (i know javaLayer could

play mp3, but license issue could be a problem).

Thus what is the best way to integrate the 2

applications? Which language should i use in order to

rewrite the VJ++ application if i have to rewrite? Is

perl or c++ a good solution? If stick with either Perl

or C++, how could i call perl/C++ application from

JSP/Servlet, just a html link?

Some ideas and references please. Java Sound API is not helpful.
