Re: Developer's downloadable Java applet

Yes, a JAR file needs to be downloaded to the browser. There are several different JAR's you can use, and you can also build your own (as long as they include the required classes for forms). Most sites just use the default (f50all.jar / f60all.jar) which is about 1.5Mb, which does kind of preclude Internet use.

Also, there is a problem when running over the internet with all releases upto 6i, because the forms server is expecting proprietary responses from the Java client on specific sockets, and this would not work through a firewall. However, this is supposed to be resolved in Developer 6i.
