Hi,
I am faced with a typical problem. I have to read the
windows registry from a java applet. Can anyone help
me out? I don't want to install anything, like some
DLL etc. on the users machine. I am ready to get a
digital certificate for code signing so that the user
can give me the necessary permission before my applet
attempts to read the registry.
Basically the problem is as follows. My site has to
send an encrypted file to the user for which the user
should have an application, say viewer.exe installed
on his machine. Assume my encrypted file is named as
something.xyz. Now I have to check out if the XYZ
files are associated with any program by checking the
registry entries on the user's machine. Next if they
are associated, I have to check that it is Viewer.exe
with which it is associated. And if Viewer.exe is
physically present on the user's machine. If all these
are OK, I redirect the user to download the
something.xyz file which then automatically gets
downloaded and opens up with Viewer.exe. I can't use
any plugins or install any com/dll libraries on the
user's HDD. That's a silly part of the specifications
of the s/w.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Sudip
