Wow, so you're saying you think that randomly picked up bits of JavaScript should be able to take over your computer and send emails from your computer to whomever they want?
Every spammer in the world must love you. Fortunately, the browser makers disagree. You can generate a "mail to" link, which will give the user the option to send some mail (outside the scope of your web application). Your client app can send information to your servlet, and the servlet can use that information to send a mail message. Your client web app can NOT, and SHOULD not be able to, access the JavaMail API, or any other API that would let it send email FROM THE CLIENT w/o user interaction that is outside the control of your web app. >Gregory Dougherty | Systems Programmer | Bioinformatics Support Unit >Division of Research and Education Support Systems | dougherty.greg...@mayo.edu | 507-284-8493 >_____________________________ >Mayo Clinic | 200 First Street SW | Rochester, MN 55905 | www.mayoclinic.org > > -----Original Message----- From: Hilco Wijbenga [mailto:hilco.wijbe...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 12:12 PM To: google-web-toolkit@googlegroups.com Cc: Dougherty, Gregory T.

What do you think your desktop is, a server? :-) You do need to be able to *connect* to a server but you don't have to be running *on* a server. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
