hi,
I've got a problem, I wrote a java application in the JMF to capture webcam streams. But I need a applet of this application. The applet has to run local only. Can anyone help me.
The sourcecode is pretty much so here is a link with an archive with the sources.

Applets are a PITA. Sun does not (and has
not, for a very long time) devoted the attention
needed to convince the browser manufacturers
to make them work.
But what do you mean, saying..
> The applet has to run local only.
What do you mean by 'locally'?
I cannot imagine a single user would
prefer an applet to an application, so what
do your really need?
For example.
Do you need to deploy this to a group of
people across an intranet?
There are almost certainly 'better answers' to
this problem, than an an applet, but I cannot
determine what those better answers are until
you state a requirement, rather than a strategy
that (you guess) will achieve the same.
> well I totally see you're point ..
Your words indicate otherwise.
> I also tried to convince him ..
Convince him of what exaclty?
I do not believe you are paying careful attention
to what I am trying to tell/ask you..
First of all, I do not believe the client said..
"I want an applet" as opposed to (for example)
"I want this application to be accessible thru a
web browser, across our company's intranet".
What does the boss care, if it's Applets/Java,
.NET, or ..rubber bands that the developer uses
to achieve that?
So.. you wanna' stop wasting my time, and
answering the questions I asked earlier?
Looks like I might learn something useful here too? Are we saying then that if a client identifies features of a desired solution that we would all recognise as being the attributes of an applet as compared to an application, then there is another way of achieving that in java without using an applet; eg ad hoc java solutions with no further downloads in a sandbox from the face of a web page?
> Looks like I might learn something useful here too?
Hopefully we all can. I do not claim any sort
of 'ultimate knowledge' with either JMF or
deployment, but when I understand the
requirements (which we still do not know*)
I might be able to help.

Sure. * Though I am still not sure that is what
this poster is trying to achieve, and until I do,
I am not inclined to make 'random guesses'**
in the hope they might work.
** I see a lot of pointless posts on other
forums along those lines - the responders
seem like little dogs dancing for snausages.
Ooh, oooh, is my answer right? If not, tell me,
and I'll guess again!
