I am using an applet as a client to a jboss server. The client foot print size can actually be fairly small for jboss. The jar file (ejipt_client.jar) for connecting to jboss is 82k (well within dialup size). My total client size is 3megs (it has a very elaborate GUI) which is fine because my user base usually has a t1 or better connection. The only real problem I've run across is the file access permissions for the jndi look up (which has been discussed here by others and I think there was a decent solution provided). Another nice way of doing a client would be with webstart, a new product from sun. http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/index.html -Philip _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
