Java 2 on Server Side

I dont want my visitors having to download the plugin which is 5mb. That would probably scare them away.Is there a way that my applets can be processed on the server side instead of the client side?

Hi! By definition, applets are downloaded to a browser and execute in the context of the browser. Servlets, OTOH, execute on the server side.

Which plugin do you think your users will need? If your applet uses Swing, they'll need a plugin.

If you want to have the processing done on the server side and do not want to use the Swing plugin, then you may want to consider using a JSP/servlet combination and avoid using Swing classes.

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

To develop Java servlets, you'll want to get the J2EE SDK from the downloads area.However, servlets are entirely different from applets. Servlets generate HTML that is sent to the client's computer. If you want a true GUI, you'll need an applet.
