API to develop java web interface for nagios3?

[zicat]

Nagios3(in a Debian box) runs good in my company. We need to enhance the web interface. For example, add Chinese language support, re-arrange views, etc. Some of the requirements can not be done by only change the configurations. However, we have no PHP developer. So we decide to create a java -based interface. Here is the question:
Where should we start? The CGI is not good because we need to control the view. But we cannot find APIs that can talk directly to Nagios core. Any suggestions?

Well, unfortunately Nagios Core 3.x is pretty much limited to the standard CGI's, however, Nagios Core 4.0.7+ includes the new JSON CGI's which may be easier for you to use?

Thanks.
Seems we have to switch to 4. Hope there would be no much differences between 3 and 4.

The JSON CGI's will be coming out of beta in the next release.
