Newbe's question on Java Applets!

Hi There,

I need to make an applet, that can be implemented in a website, but when it's loaded onto the clients computer it must be able to communicate with the serial port.

Now is this possible with applets? Do i need some extra stuff (i can imagine that for security reasons this will not be possible without some clearification or certification from the end users or something like that)

Who can help me out here!

(Maybe other solutions than Java Applets?.. The condition is: No setup needed on client PC. Must work instantly after download!)

Thanx in advance

If you want to use an applet, then you need to sign it, otherwise it will not be able to use the serial port. Next, you must install interface software on the user's PC that can talk to the serial port. This is not written in Java and is operating-system dependent; it is not available for all operating systems either. And you need to set up some configuration files on the user's system.

In other words, the requirement of "No setup needed, must work instantly" is hopelessly naive. The project is reasonably simple if you work with some reasonable requirements.
