Web Start your Java Apps

摘要

The Java community has witnessed a transition from applets which dominated the client-side development turf through to server side development technologies like servlets and JSPs, which are an integral part of the Java EE platform. These technologies are primarily constrained by the environment in which they are hosted—a browser. For instance, applets are restricted by the sandbox environment for security reasons. Moreover, markup language-based UI is fairly limited. In this article, we'll show you how a standalone Java application can be made available on a Web server (Apache) and then deployed on a wide-variety of platforms, at the click of a mouse.
