Web View using Java Applet Questions

I developed a database for the web in which I am using Java Applets to display my embedded Views on pages and embedded Outlines on pages. Some users with IE 6.0.2 and running Win XP run this fine but others with the same setup don’t load the Java Applet.In my research (i think) this is because they don’t have a MS VM or the Sun Java Runtime Environment. This database is planned to be deployed soon and I was wondering how others have delt with this problem with IE. I think it may be difficult to ask non technical users to go download the JRE from java.com.

Any recommendations? Should I just redo all my views and outlines to us HTML instead of Java Applets?

Thanks to anyone that shares a similar experience.

I think using HTML views and outlines is much better than using applets, even for java-supporting browsers. Your application looks “cleaner” and you have much better control over functions and design.

You don’t need to download the JRE from Sun.

Applets in IE have to run with a Java interpreter plug-in. You can get it at:

You see, it has to be this way because Microsoft does not support the Sun JVM anymore.

Thanks for your responses. I am now in the process of reworking my application to use HTML views and outlines. I am disapointed that this is a Domino Feature that I can’t use thanks to Microsoft. Oh well.

Thanks again!
