Its a configurable switch as far as what mode you use. For a given application you can say - use whatever works and we will try no JVM first. If the XML stuff fails in that browser we will try to use the applet. Or you can specify applet or XML exclusively. In addition there is a tag that allows you to force an implementation. All you need to do is install, set the setting in the configuration and recompile the pages.

I really don't think that ISC will have turned off the JVM hyperevent
- it wil break to much code already out there

Suspect that they will make it an optional attribute somewhere
<csp:object useXMLHTTP=1

or some such construct - if it's not there use JVM if it is use
XMLHTTP

My own view is that it is a welcome replacement for having to dl and
install a JVM

But it still is browser dependent - useable if you have control over
the browsers - intranet - but not ready for public internet prime time
too many browsers not supporting it *yet*

It's the old probem - you can make use of whizzy features but the more
you do the more you restrict the audience

for my own part I am using simple Javascript with very simple DOM
fiddling
this works on 98% (I believe) of browsers - but even then it wil fail
if the user has turned off JavaScript
But this is reasonable - so many public sites use JS that I think it's
OK

XMLHTTP - don't work on Mac's a all, flakey on anything less than the
latest Moz - too large a percentage audience
or so my research indicates

I like to make people happy sometimes

I certainly am happy to hear that XMLHTTP is going to be in 5.0.11.

Is this an all-or-none arrangement where all CSPs must be re-compiled, or is there a 
migration path?
Will attribute INSERTBROKERAPPLET become a no-op?
Is cspbroker.class still going to be used with browsers that do have a JVM but don't 
support XMLHTTP?
