Yo mean to run the applet lke before? No.
why don't you use FSAL technology to run forms ?
Holger
Because it is a lot of work. Not FSAL as such but:
The difference is between persuading an admin to change a setting and persuading many managers through different hierarchies that their staff has to test a new way to do the same thing.
Edit: And it's not about running an applet but Webstart.
hm, ok.
and what about downloading and saving the jnlp file to the client once?
and executing with a double click.
I don't know any way to get it work with Edge, as it always asks to download it.
I found a simpler solution:
instead of calling http://my_formsserver/...config=xy you can call jnlp://my_formsserver/...config=xy
Edge chrome will warn you that a website wants to open Web Launcher. If you accept it will run like before.
I think in newer Java version this solution won't work anymore because of desupport of Java Web Start.
and what then ?
The JNLP and JNLPS protocols, which are configured when the JRE is installed on Windows automatically are planned to be supported through the life of Java 8 along with Java Web Start. Currently, JWS is planned to be supported at least until 2030.
