Can this Java be running on the client?

[cusimar9]

Hi,

I've taken over a website which is written in JSP. It calculations a number of things using Flash and Javascript, but one of the main calculation is contained within a Java class.

Now as I understand it, only JavaScript, Flash and ActionScript run on the client, everything else must be running on the server.

However I wonder if someone could confirm whether or not that is the case for the following code snippet.

The code below loads the main Java class into a Bean, and performs some calculations on it:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<%@ page contentType="text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1" %>

<%@page import="GY.Info"%>

<jsp:useBean id="info" scope="application" class="GY.Info"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="info" property="*"/>

<%

info.Result();

... Retrieve Result ...

%>

... Output Result ...


Is this definitely running on the Server? Could it be made to run on the client and if so, how?

applets run on the client.

So in order for the above to run on the client machine it has to be called from within an applet?

And I presume its fairly straightforward to setup input/output parameters for applets?

Can an applet be called from within a Flash file?

applets are like flash files, they're viewed in the browser.requires the JVM to be on the client machine.
