But in my world, it would be a JVM running on a specific public port with it's own protocols that differ from the web. And I'm talking about a shift in public perception. No one (or let least not many people) block port 80, or port 23. But companies do block other ports (for various valid reasons). But if the general public could be convinced to use the App-Browser idea, and it was known to be reliable and secure, and a specific port was "assumed" to be used, it could open up many new programming avenues. Or more to the point close some others - like Browser Incompatibility, lack of push, and the multi-layered contortions necessary to make rich applications web ready.
Yes, I have used Swing and Applets. Applets are still confined to http protocols. I realize that it's really mostly only the lack of push that I am referring to on this point, but I believe it would make a significant difference in web apps. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
