applet talking to server (with ajax?)
|
|
|
| Hi,
I have an applet that i want to have grab text from the server. I
have a php function that generates the text, right now just plain
text, but it could be anything xml, json, etc.
anyway, what is the best thing for me to do to have the applet
communicate with the php function on the server?
All the recent sun articles seem to deal with the opposite of what
i want, java server talking to a standard html page through ajax

Using
new URL("http://myserver/path/phppage.php").openConnection
and use the returned URLConnection for reading the PHP-
page's output.

To summerize : you have a web application, in which you want your client
to retrieve data from the server and to display it dynamically.
Using an applet implies that the client has a java plugin installed on
his computer, which is not always the case.
In both the cases, you'll need to have javascript code which will
display your retrieved data.
I'd say that the Ajax solution seems to be the best : doesn't need extra
requirements, minimize the number of different technologies used ...
