I am looking for a project to convert the existing JAVA


It is 'Java', not 'JAVA'.

...applets into
JSP scripts. Basically I need to remove the Java Client requirements
on the user's machine and also move most of the processing work from
applets to servlet.


Yeh, sure. Umm.. what do the applet's *do*?

As an aside. Why is it the applets are being phased out?
Java Web Start'ed apps. might be an altogether better option.

Well

Basically its a web based online transaction processing system. The
application needs to remove the constraint for JAVA client because its
build in older java version 1.3 and many time clients just go for JAVA
updates and get the new version and some parts do not work. Also it is
very slow. That is why need to convert to JSP..

Thanks


You're looking at a rewrite, not a conversion. The lifecycle and user
interaction models of applets and serlvet/JSP systems are not
fundamentally compatible with each other.

If the applet is relatively well-designed you'll be able to salvage
the core "business logic" part of the applet, but you won't be able to
reuse much, if any, of the UI code.

That said, it's odd that you've found that parts of an applet written
for 1.3 do not work under newer Java versions (1.5, 1.6). Can you
elaborate a bit on that?
