Java applet for browser integration using Batik

[Sebastien Just]

Hi,
I'm currently working on a web application whose needs can be fullfilled with a SVG 
plugin.
I didn't currently found a correct SVG plugin displaying SVG because :
- all plugin doesn't work on all browsers
- are difficult to install for end-user
- doesn't interpret SVG the same way ... so I can't rely on them for displaying 
business data and have the same behaviour.
So I started to look after Batik and JSVGCanvas and made an applet which displays SVG.
The goal is to take all the necessary jar files and make a "bigger" jar so that the usage is as simple as possible. 

Altough quite difficult I  managed to do so, so an example for usage is :
<applet width="600" height="600" code="SVGApplet.class" 
	archive="jsvgapplet.jar">
	<param name="fileName" value="http://192.168.0.1/images/catalogueDate.svg"; />
</applet>

It works fine under IE / Mozilla / Thunderbird and can display all SVG Files batik is 
able to.
Last problemes are : 
- do I really need to sign the applet ( if I do not I cannot use ecmascript) ? 
- 5Mo is a bit heavy for an applet ... are

Future improvements :
- make applet communicate with the browser DOM so that the HTML side can interact with 
SVG Applet .
So is anyone interested in this work ?
Has anybody made this before (so this work is maybe useless) ? 
What do u think about it ?

Sebastien
