Well, well, well,.... Are we not getting a bit carried away here.
As I see it the browser front end is basically a front end to a J session. Everyone connected to that same session sees exactly the same info. In order to assign browser windows to different info you need to separate it somehow. The most obvious way is to connect to a different J session. Those wanting to get interactions between sessions like in a game between users they will be needing to share information and hide some of it. It may be tempting to try to get one J session to handle many different users but I am not sure how practical that will be. I am pretty sure we are not about to reinvent IPSA here and now. 2010/3/8 bill lam <[email protected]>: > It seemed to me that the new J7 browser frontent is the time-sharing > in the good old days.
