Re: [OT] Applet communication with web app
We use HTTP/HTTPS. Our application is a web frontend to a document management a workflow system (http://www.mindwrap.com). As such we move both text and binary data between applets and the server, calling both servlets and JSPs depending upon the requirement.

RE: [OT] Applet communication with web app
1. -> Which socket? remember firewalls? 2. -> remember firewalls? jdk-compatibility-issues 3. Other 3.a) use http/https to transfer serialized objects - jdk-compatibility issues b) use http/https to transfer command-strings (sort of roll your own serialization, but simplified - comand-strings, name/value pairs) c) use http/https to transfer XML-messages why http/https? - easy - firewall-friendly why limitation to strings? - less problems with jdk-changes - easier to test and debug hope this helps Aexander -Original Message- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 2.
