Using Java Applet in WebDynpro Application

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have the problem that I must access the client in my WebDynpro Application.

But I found no way to include a Java Applet in my application, so my question: Is it generally possible to include a Java Applet or not?

If it is not possible with an Applet, is there any other way to access the client?

Thanks a lot

We actually embed Java applets in our application. But only on the portal.

Wrap the applet around a BSP.

Call the URL in an iframe.

To prevent the reloading problems that we see with applets and actions, we put the applet in a modal window, with an OK button at the bottom so that when applet processing is finished, the rest of the web dynpro functionality resumes.

If you need to have them both in the same page, you can embed the BSP iview in the same portal page.

Hi,

This thread is dated back to 2005. As said before, you may use iFrame for that; but why would you want to use an Applet?

Did you solve your problem?

Just curious to see what you did to circumvent your situation.

Hi,

I didn't find a way to solve the problems I discribed.

I read that it is impossible to use java applets in web dynpro applications so I stopped searching for a way to do it.

Not sure what you mean with "access the client", but technically you can embedd applet in IFrame that is placed inside view of WD component. However, this IFrame (and applet therefore) will be reloaded on <b>every action invocation</b> (buton/link click, selection in table etc).

I search for a way to use the Java System.GetPoperties() method to find out the username and the operating system. A further point is that I want du implement a print function and so I have to find out what printers are installed on the client.

Thanks for your advises.

Hi,

one of the cornerstones of the Web Dynpro programming model is the client abstraction of each Web Dynpro application. Therefore there is no way to access the client.

But what do you want achive? Perhaps there is another solution doing that?
