Hy, alls
Now beautifull Client-Server applets apears, i have a lot of
serious question to ask to the java-team :
1/ WHEN do you expect that the BETA 01, and after the Versus 1.0
could be ready ?
2/ WHEN do you think that the MAC versus could be ready
3/ DO other Unix-Providers (HP/IBM/Unisys/Sequent....) ports
Java for their OS ?
4/ Will you extend network layers for Netbios and Netware, and X400 ?
(X400 for treading directly with DataBases)
5/ Will you add 3D library : before everyone rewrite it's own standard
for VRML jav viewer, 3D real time interactive simulations,
virtual 3D shared universe, virtual visits of monuments......
6/ Will the Net Applets still compatible with the Interactive TV versus
Cause, there is 2 Year that the TV Java layers are ready, demos, tests,
applications and so on. I know that the first goal of Java was the
Interactive TV market, (in accord with Thomson ?). SO, what about the
compatibility between the Net Java devs and the ITV Java runtime ??
7/ What about security KeyHole :
- APP access to client files
- APP access to local network process
- APP access to remote network access
Cause, pretty usage could be done with applet which can access to local
objects, BUT if the user say Yes to a Fun Applet, what can protect him
that this 'so pretty applet' is a big hacker keyhole full of dangerous
and nocive threads ?
What i am fearfull is that cruel experiences of Java Apllets forces
users to stand Far away from the smallest pretty little java piece of
code : No use of Hotjava browser, disabling Java support of Netscape,
disabling all type of access for java applets... :
It could be the DEATH of Java on the Net !!!!
THANKS : The Shared WhiteBoard is the most intersting I've seen on the
Net. Thanks to Daniel Ockeloen for having writting it for us :
it's the first real Network Interactive Application ! :
in the same way A LOT of things could be done on the same base .
