Intranet:application or applet???

Hey All
I have an application...is it possible to make that application available to everyone in the intranet??? or do i have to convert into applet so that it is run thru an html file????

my application is a simple one...allows the user to choose an option and then opens a text file with the user selected option in it, where user is allowed enter data and the text file is sent to concerned person thru email...
now to run this application thru home page of our company intranet should this b converted into applet?? i tried to run this application from an applet..but the opening text file and sending email part of the application didn't work....
or should i go with java web start????
thanx

Application or Applet?

Hello, I'm in the works of developing a MMORPG in java.
My quest is would it be better to write it as an Application or Applet?
I know writing it as an application I will be able to save, and do other things without the troubles of the *security stuff in java. While if I make it an applet I may have troubles with security...
Though then again I will be using a java server/sql. So I wont have to worry about that to much, however, if I have the game available for offline and online then there may be problems.
Anyways was wondering what everyones opinions are on this matter?
Thanks

Hmm, should have worded that diffrently. After posting I realized they have diffrent categories =)...

Managing Connections in a desktop Application or Applet

Wondering how people usually manage connections in a fairly large GUI application (or Applet).
I'm used to using a Connection Pool with Servlets.
Is this worth using with an Application or is it ok to create a Connection at startup and use it throughout the whole execution?
Is it ok then to pass references to this Connection to other classes in the application?
Any tips, experiences, guidelines would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Derek

Hi
I'm assuming that you are using a J2EE Application Server that implements datasource pooling if you have the ability to use Pooled Connection with your servlet (if not, then you must have created your own connection pool?).
Basically, if you have an Applet, then there is no reason to change your current way of working...simply let a servlet in your container handle the database stuff, then return the results to the Applet.
For desktop standalone applications, things are a bit different. You will probably have to implement your own pool. Best practices...hmm...not an expert but I would have thought it best to open the connection, do the SQL stuff, then close it straight away, and in doing so release the connection back to the pool for another application to use (assuming you have a pool). If you are thinking about opening a connection for every application and holding these indefinitely, then you will eventually run into trouble. How many connections can your database handle???
Hope that helps

Can we run Internet and intranet application on same node?

Hi,
Could we run Internet and Intranet applications on same node?
Regards,

Hi,
You can run both sites on the same server. You should just set the site security on the intranet site to only allow access from internal IP addresses. But for security reason, it's not adviceable to do that.

JSP Intranet application

Hi all,
i am a total newbie to java, just learning JSP & java. actually i am in to creating a brower based intranet application using JSP & PostgreSQL. how good is JSP for developing such an application? again about the user interface design part, i just know HTML only. so how we can create give cool interfaces like datagrid (in visual basic) etc.
and i hav heard that JSTL can serve the same purpose of JSP. so can anyone give me some info on JSTL and how to work with it.
thanks a lot for ur time
aleena maria

For an intranet JSP is good, its more powerful than ASP (vb6) or PHP and holds its own against .NET
On the WEB php is better as its much easier and cheaper to get hosting, also, there is a lot more open source stuff around which is good.
I would stick to HTML for your output, I dont know what datagrid is, if its an MS plug in it will only be available to IE users, which may be ok on an intranet
In jsp you can create tag libraries, where you assign a simple tag to a funtion within your code, this way HTML developers can use the tags, without being exposed to the java code itself, JSTL is / are the standard tags.
I dont see much benefit in using tags unless you are part of a team that includes programmers and WEB designers all working on the project, I prefer to write classes, which are equally re-usable (javaBeans)

A question about Using RSL for our Intranet Application

Hi ,
I am doing an Intranet Application (Which will be used only with in the Employees of the Organization)
We want to RSL as read that it will improve the performance of the swf files .
Please let us know what type of RSL (like Standard RSLs , Cross-domain RSLs or Framework RSL)
Suppourt us ??
Can anybody let me know how can i provide RSL facility for my Application .
Thanks in advnace .

Thanks for the information .
As you mentioned:
RSLs are only useful if more than one SWF is going to share it.
Our Intranet Application is divided into several Modules , but under only one APPlication MMXL file . So will this be useful for us in any way ??
Thanks .
Waiitng for your resposne .

Start application from applet

Hi there!
I have to start an application from applet (is not my idea, i HAVE to do it). That menas (i think) i have a little problem with the java "sand box". How can i make my program run out of it? Signed Applets? Are there also other possibiliys? Can i make as "privat person" signed Applets?
Thank's

This is SAX-parser for XML processing. The XML-files are local saved, also the applet and the application. The Parser application seems to start, but (sic!) there is no output, even though the application is OK...

Building applications with applets

Hi,
I want to modify my applet so it can be used to build an application. From within the applet, I need a way to tell if I'm running as an applet in a browser or as an application ( I need to do this, so I dont go making URLConnections, etc when I'm running as an application ).
I'm also limited to JDK 1.1.x.
thanks in advance,
rob

If an applet is being run as an application, the main method will have to be called. This method will never be called when run as an applet.
Generally, when wrapping an applet in a application, the window creation functions are also handled in main. It would be relatively easy to set a flag when instantiating the applet (say as an instance variable on the applet itself) to let it know if it was running as an applet or as an application

Run application or applet on any windows machine

OK, here is my question. If I write a application using swing, and then build the application into jars, can I take that app and run it on any computer, or does any computer I run it on need the jdk installed on it. The reason I am asking this, is a am writing some simple software using swing as a GUI. I want other user's to be able just to copy this app from a disk, set it on their computer and run it. Will this work, are will it work if I use applets. Please let me know.

what do you mean by make a webservice app or use webstart/jnlp

Works in application, not applet, why

connection = new Socket(
InetAddress.getByName("mailbox.oneonta.edu"), 25);
this line works in my application but i get a java.security.AccessControlException when i try to use the code in an applet. can anyone help?

I think there is more then enough great documentation on this very site to help you out. Explaining things like how to sign an applet, or a jar, that are docuemented so your little sister can do it is a waste of time. I'm not being rude at all, I'm trying to get you to use the resources of this site. The java tutorials is a great place to start.

How to add images into a java application (not applet)

Hello,
I am new in java programming. I would like to know how to add images into a java application (not an applet). If i could get an standard example about how to add a image to a java application, I would apreciated it. Any help will be greatly apreciated.
Thank you,

You should try the html converter so that the browsers are forced to invoke their plugin... or prompt the user to download one.
To turn an applet into an application is easy. You act like the browser. You make a frame, construct the applet, and put the applet in the frame, (They are components) ... Then just call the init() method. Then add a window listener to call the stop() method when the frame gets closed.
Application to an applet is a bit harder. You need to figure out what needs to be in the init method. Depending on what the application does you can also run into security issues.

Help on moving of image across screen(java application,not applet)

I've searched the entire internet and everything I've found is on java applets and I'm an alien to the differences between an applet and an application.
This is actually for a java game I'm creating using Eclipse's visual editor and I'm failing miserably.
What I'm trying to do is to find some java source code that enables me to start an image automatically moving across the screen that only stops when I click on it. I did find some applet codes but when I tried converting it to application code a load of errors popped out.
Thanks for the help if there's any! I'm getting desperate here because the game's due this friday and I'm stuck at this stage for who knows how long.

Here is one of the codes I found ,it's not mine but I'm trying to edit it into a java application instead of an applet...Sort of like: ' public class MovingLabels extends JFrame ' or some code that I can copy and paste into another java program.

Application and Applet

Is it possable to run one program that reads in values threw a normal java application and then calls on an applet to display something?

It sounds like you haven't grasped the fact that you can write a straight Swing application with a full graphics interface which isn't an Applet (I must admit that when, somewhere back in the age of the dinosaurs, I first started to read about Java I was confused by the emphasis on applets, which are really not very useful).
Such an application has a main() method as usual, but all that the main() usually does it to create an object which extends JFrame and call setVisible(true) on it. From that point all the action is in response to user generated events on the window.

Run application from applet

is it possible to run an application from an applet? is so how can i go about doing this?

hey may be the use of Runtime can help u solve ur
prblm....
Runtime.exec("Application name");luck,
jayNope. You should know some basic things before trying to give answers.
If (unsigned/untrusted) applets could just run any other app, imagine the chaos when someone hits a rogue website containing an applet that executes something like "format c:"
You want to run an external program on the client's machine from an applet? You can't, thank heavens. You need to rethink your design.
