Need advice on performing file comparison from JSF app

Hi,

I am investigating whether or not it is worth changing the Code Review tool that we are using from a standalone MFC application to a JSF web application. The thing i am not sure about is how to perform a file compare from within the web application. You cannot simply run an executable on the client's machine so you would need to implement this on the server side. However, i am not sure whether or not this is doable. It would have to show the contents of the 2 files with a visual marking about which lines have changed and it would need to keep the scrolling in the 2 files synchronous, like a typical file comparison tool does. Is this feasible to do or not ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

K.
