Hey!
You should do okay. One warning, though, you should do all of your
database connections server side. Otherwise, you will have to have the
database classes for the client, which will force you to send the db
classes over the wire upon loading of the applet. You *can* preinstall
the db classes, since you are already installing the plugin.
We use applet extensively, albeit over the corporate intranet. Internet?
I just don't know.
Sans adieu,
