Sockets and Javascript

[j_macaroni]

I know Javascript has no methods to directly open sockets. Since that
is not possible, I was wondering if anyone knows of a Java applet
somewhere that does this that can can be instantiated in JS. This would
be running on a Windows client under IE or Firefox.

Thanks

Well, I could give you a javascript tag
that would allow you to interact with most any socket based resource
no matter it's domain , but it would cost at least some monthly fee, and
a development charge depending on the nature of the socket relay.

If it was something we could sell to others , you could even make a kickback

This page has information about LiveConnect, which is the technology
allowing JavaScript to control a Java applet. A few years ago, I used
"invisible" applets (Java applets with 1x1 pixel size, and with the same
background color as the page) to do special work that JavaScript
couldn't do. JavaScript was used to control the applets and to handle
the results.

It's a bit outdated but the code still works.

What do you mean by a Javascript tag? Is it a DLL or a java applet?

Hi Laurent, I will look at the code. Thanks for sharing it.

Actually neither. It's just a <script> tag that provides access to
databases , WSDL, REST, shared Javascripts and other services in a
fashion much akin to how googlemaps works

Basically what happens is that I and others on my team
write all the complicated server side code and make it available
as web 2.0 type resources that can have ongoing conversations with
our servers without reloading your page and without you needing to know
the ins and outs of the technologies involved.
