Applet

This version of the emulator includes an applet version of the emulator to be embedded in a
webbrowser.
Big thanks goes to Bob Fludder at http://www.businessvision.au for testing and helping with
this. He is suppose to write a how to and/or deployment for the applet version of the
emulator.

Note:
Help is needed here with information and or changes to the code to allow a seemless integration. There are probably bugs in
there so please be nice when reporting them ;-)

1 Tested Browsers
Netscape
Internet Explorer
Konqueror - Linux KDE Desktop

2 Tested Plugins
• 1.3.1
• 1.4
One thing about the 1.4 plugin is that it allows a signed jar to be loaded and the proper
authority is prompted for the certificate. Once accepted the certificate is then saved thus
saving the deployment, installation and importing of keys/signatures to each of the desktops.
Very Very nice.

3 Deployment
There are three applet files that are included:
• My5250App.html
• My5250AppPlugin.html
• My5250SSLindex.php
For signing of applets I am going to have to refer you to the experts at the discussion forum

This has the best information on signing and deploying applets. This being my first applet
program I am at a lost for help on deployment for the different browsers and I do not have
the time to test them all.

5 Live Demo Applet

First you will need to set up the java policy file for applet access. Instructions can be found
here
You can try out a live demo here

If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know. If you have code changes
PLEASE PLEASE send them to me.
