Thanks for refraining from top-posting in future.

I am mildly interested, especially in anything to do
with applets. Feel free to make more posts ..

No. Or rather - only at consultancy rates,
usenet OTOH, is free.

All this is possible. What is the purpose of it?
Still wondering..
This may be important for a number of reasons, including
determining the answer to 'is an applet the best way to
go about achieving the desired result?'
...Is this possible and how long do
you think it would take for an intermediate java developer to complete?
I don't know. ...
Even then, the problem is only half done, as you need to
successfully deploy the applet in the user's browser, in a
trusted environment.
...Just wanted to know for now if it
would be possible. Im not so concerned about the requirement that the
user must manually "approve" the applet, if thats what is meant by
signed applets,
Yes.
...since the deployment would be aimed at a small(ish)
audience.
That vastly simplifies the task, that you have a small
audience, and they are willing to give their active
approval to this app.
Can you also specify minimum Java version?
What about the browser make/version?
(I'm guessing yes to the former, no to the latter,
but will only know when you answer the question
above..)
