Have you looked into using Java WebStart. I've used it on at least two projects, including my current project for a telecom equipment company and we're getting *very* positive feedback from our customers.

FWIW...

On one EIS (Executive Information System) project, my compatriots and I found that 
applets gave us:
(1) A richer, more app-ish UI
(2) enough of a load-time delay (even for smallish applets) that our executive target 
audience was instantly annoyed beyond recovery.

Basically, we learned that when a CFO/CEO/et cetera clicks on a link they don't want to see no 
stinkin' "loading" banners, progress bars or big grey rectangles.

...and there's also the issue of browser VMs, security, etc.

Subject: [Juglist] Applets vs Servlets


I was recently evaluating a program that built its web interface using applets that were converted from its java client application. The applets
are servered up from a tomcat server. I was wondering what the group
thought of this approach versus a more traditional J2EE approach and are there any problems that this would cause that we should be aware of.
