If you are creating an application that is going to be run in an

It depends on a lot of things.

I only had time to glance at what Knute said,
but I think I basically agree with his take
on it.

For trivial things - direct to applet, for
anything beyond that, hybrid.

This project sounds like it should be an hybrid.

Is there a particular reason the app. is not
being launched using webstart? The maintenance
costs of a JWS app. will be lower in the long
run.


Well, I hadn't even heard of webstart until now. My main problem is,
after I figure this part out, is how do I connect my applet (or
webstart?) to the server. it's an internet app, but I need more than
just a servlet, jsp. It's for a game. Thanks.


Your applet will be allowed to connect to the same server it was
fetched from.

HTTP or plain socket as you want.

"Oh, sure, all the time."
