Well, I've spent a good chunk of the day working with JRuby applets. It is easy to write an applet, and have it run in the AppletViewer. Running it in a real browser, however, hits security problems one after another. I had to add 6 system properties to the java.policy file (4 for JRuby, 2 for BSF, though maybe 1 of the BSF one is a JRuby bug), and then it started trying to look at the disk to load files.
It seems to me there would be a fair amount of work to JRuby to make it run in a secure sandbox. I *assume* that if the applet were signed, it would continue running OK, but I I'm going to sign it, I'll just do a WebStart application. Anyway, just an update. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
