All, I was looking to do some quick java development of applets. Here's my situation: 1. I have a static server (ie: that I cannot touch) which serves my client data (and applets). 2. a bare-bones client programming setup (vim and java compiler) What I was hoping to do, therefore, is hijack the applets that are coming from the server, and replace them with my own, compiled ones, and hook the browser in such a way that when the applet is asked for, my applet fires instead (hopefully in debugging mode) using the data from the server as input. Surely this is a common enough situation that there are standard firefox plugins to do this.. Or is it? In any case any, help on this would be most appreciated. Thanks much, Ed

Go learn about DHTML, AJAX and HTML5. Yes, learn about the piece of shit that is "WebSockets" and how they're still disabled due to security (let alone prohibitively reduced functionality) flaws! Marvel at what "WorkerThreads" attempt to accomplish! Look on in awe at Comet and long-polling and the amount of time/money invested in trying to replicate what Applets have offered the Web-Developer for over a decade :-( Yes my little Google/Microsoft slaves, "all pluggins are bad". They've kiiled Java and are now doing their best to kill Flash. Just keep settling for second rate shite just as long as there's no pluggin required. (Having said that, with Oracle's ownership of Java and having seen what Ellison just did to HP/Itanium, there are certainly no benign let alone benevolent forces pulling the levers.)

Go learn about DHTML, AJAX and HTML5. No one uses DHTML anymore. At least not that term. And yes, people still use Java applets. I've found Java support for toolkits, e.g., easier to use than the JS ones I've poked at. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E. Knuth

Go learn about DHTML, AJAX and HTML5. I find the above really strange, since when I look around on the net, I see nothing even close to what can be done today using Java applets. And Java is open source now also. isn't? If you can show me just ONE web site, with simulations and animation written in Javascript and html5, that are as good and advanced as say the following well known Java applets sites, then I will believe you: http://www.falstad.com/mathphysics.html http://www.myphysicslab.com/index.html http://www.ph.biu.ac.il/~rapaport/java-apps/ And thousands more. All what I have seen so far for demos written in Javascript and HTML5 are child like little toy applications compared to what can be done with Java applets, today. And Java applets now run well, not like many years ago, when, yes, they did have performance issues, but it seems to me most of this is fixed now, I hardly have a problem now running a Java applet these days. Sometimes I get missing class error while loading, but that seems to be a packaging/configuration error from the author, not Java itself. Why the industry have to reinvent the wheel again every few years, I never know. Why not improve what works today to make it better? --Nasser

Soon as you figure out how to apply the word “modern” to Java, I guess... Why do you think JavaScript/DHTML/AJAX has grown by leaps and bounds, while Java, which in some ways was a pioneer of the dynamic Web, has stagnated?

Why do you insist on bashing Java in a Java newsgroup? To be fair, none of the technologies you mention has really made "leaps and bounds". AJAX, or rather XHR (the underlying technology), itself was specified several years back and hasn't been modified (to my knowledge) since the introduction of the cross-origin specifications, which is more or less incidental to the actual spec. JavaScript itself has had no more fundamental changes than Java has had. As far as I can see, the only truly new things (i.e., not present in any implementation for some time) were the introduction of functional methods to Array, i.e., arr.forEach, arr.filter, etc. The only technologies that have really changed are the DOM, in particular the introduction of <canvas>, web storage, and ... I think that's about the only major interoperable new thing. SVG doesn't count since it's been around for eons, nor does <video> since it's actually worthless as no single format will be accepted by >75% of the browser market. I'll also leave out CSS changes, since most of those are pretty much either pie-in-the-sky experiments or attempting to sanely specify what browsers already do. Now, let me end by pointing out that Java has been able to do all of these things for over a decade. That's right, all of these growing "by leaps and bounds" is merely trying to get CSS/DOM/HTML up to the same level of support that Java has already had since version 1.0. And there are still things that Java can do that this approach is having problems with--case in point number 1, designing traditional UI (i.e., flexing models for layout). Java doesn't need to grow by leaps and bounds because it already is a mature, working facility ... unlike the current Web 2.0/3.0 stuff. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.

To use Lawrence's logic, we should hire him instead of you because your knowledge is mature and stable, and not growing as quickly as his presumably is at his stage of development as a programmer. Or, alternatively, we should elect an infant as the nation's leader because their brain is growing so much faster than a mature adult's. This leaving out the fallacy that Java has stagnated, a blazingly false assertion that Lawrence made with, as is usual for Lawrence, absolutely zero evidence cited (as if there were any) or reasoning proffered. So, Lawrence, care to provide any actual factual or evidentiary basis for your apparent attempt to foment a flame war, Lawrence? We're waiting breathlessly, Lawrence. Aaaany time now, Lawrence. -- Lew Honi soit qui mal y pense. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Friz.jpg

And yet nobody was ever able to do them. Where is the Java equivalent of jQuery, for example?

Nope, that's original in JavaScript.

Java's graphics APIs are not so shoddy you need a massive library just to do anything sane with them ;-) -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.

That's a typical trollish maneuver, Lawrence, shifting to an opposite stance when someone refutes your original point. I guess your original point you admit to be wrong, given how quickly you dropped it when challenged, Lawrence. >>>> Now, let me end by pointing out that Java has been able to do all of >>>> these things for over a decade. >>> >>> And yet nobody was ever able to do them.

It's not JavaScript playing catchup. The language itself has had no significant change (I'm pretty sure generators are not part of ES5, only ES:harmony...). 2. The features of the DOM are adding no functionality that Java itself does not have. 3. "Catch-up" does not imply removing features to achieve a convergence of languages. >> How about Swing? > > How about it? That you completely cut off all context of where I explained this. Sheesh, you're getting as bad as Mr....

Let me explain to you something about USENET: my postings are to record what I said, not what you said. If I quote any part of you said, it is to give some context for what I said, nothing more. Rest assured if I reply to you I did read what you said, whether I quoted it or not. If I was ignoring what you said, I wouldn’t even bother replying to you.
