I have an interesting thought and would like your comments on it.
In an applet environment, I believe Rhino cannot use compiled scripts and hence the performance of those scripts is worse than in an application environment. Now, given that most browser vendors have introduced JIT compilers for JavaScript, how difficult would it be to replace the use of Rhino in Batik applets with the browser's JavaScript engine? I imagine there would have to be some changes to the scripts themselves but Java/JavaScript interaction has greatly improved since Java 6 Update 10 and using Batik in an applet environment is very important to me. What do you think? Thanks, John
