Subject: Applet Security
Hi,
I had a thought as it refers to applet security. One of the biggest
problems Java has in the enterprise as it refers to applets is its
inability to function in HA environments or load balancing environments.
You might look at how it is currently restricted to only communicating
back to its originating server and fix it.
If I download an applet from www.sun.com that applet should be able
to contact any server within the sun.com domain rather than just
www.sun.com... This would give applet developers the capability to build
HA and load balancing applications with applets. These two things are
musts before you can even say that Java applets are ready for the
Enterprise!
It would also be nice from the JavaStation/Intranet point of
view....
Thanks.
