I was wondering if one could write a Java application and put it on a website and then have it running so that when a user used your website it could interact with some html/javascript page which would communicate with the Java program.
So basically, the html5 would be used to display the java program but all the logic and everything else would be server side in Java.
I don’t want to use a java applet since it requires users getting a security warning and most browsers do not autorun a java application. I just think it would look cleaner and work nicer.
Does anyone know anything about this and could give me a little abstract just to point me in the right direction so I can learn more?
Thanks
It’s somewhat difficult to tell from your question but you might find GWT useful. You code everything in Java, and the client-side portion gets compiled into html/javascript which communicates to the server portion with AJAX. http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/
