Ok, I was having a discussion the other day with a friend over the problems with javascript and wishing that there was a bytecode equivalent and offhand I said outloud, "I wish that someone would just embed j2ME with Firefox or something". My friend stopped me and said, "Wait that's a great idea. It's sandboxed. There's no security issue."
You can't access anything outside the sandbox. It would be PERFECT as a replacement technology for AJAX while supplying an added level of security (through obscurity) by only supplying bytecode. Plus download speeds would greatly increase in comparison to downloading the equivalent in javascript. Is it possible to do this? Are there reasons why this isn't an option or why this might be a bad idea? I'm sure other people have thought of this too and have a reason for not implementing this. I was just hoping to find out why. Especially now that SUN is Open Source and J2ME apps are everywhere thanks to phones and other portable devices. Any criticism of this concept is greatly appreciated. And please be kind as I'm just throwing this out there and am not fully dedicated to the idea but am wondering why it wouldn't work.
