[Help-glpk] Linear Programming in Java using GLPK and MathProg

[Benson]

Hi, 
I am writing a university timetabling language and solver in Java and 
 I want to use the linear programming approach. I want to use a free 
 solver and GLPK seems to be a good candidate. I intend the program to
 translate the timetabling problem into MathProg format and let the 
 solver solves it. It seems that readModel in GlpkSolver allows me to 
 do this, however it seems to output the result of the calculation in a
 file, is it possible to access parts of the solution without going to 
 the file? Can I access the values, e.g. the value of the objective 
 function in some ways? 


Thanks for your help in advance. 
 

Regards,
