install4j +web service call for authentication

Question

I am looking for a windows installer for a java application. It should support custom screen where I can ask for license key to the user. License key will be validated online through a SOAP//REST service. Can anybody tell me if this is possible and which installer is best suited for this ?

Answer 1

You have marked the question with install4j, which is a solution that allows you to define a custom screen, see the documentation for more information.

Validating with SOAP/REST will require custom code. You can add required libraries on the Installer->Custom code & Resources tab and add a "Run script" action to enter the Java code directly in the install4j IDE.
