Umm, I have deployed the java client at one site.
The customer already had a Portal-web-server so it was not a problem
to deploy the citrix java client from the portal. The users were already
familiar with concept of starting services from the portal.
They are now using the the citrix java client from both Windows
PC's
and from Sun Rays, the Sun Ray server fog is a pair of X4200 , and
they do not have to keep track of different citrix clients . Every
citrix user is using the javacitrix client regardless of operating system.
The apps on the citrix server is only used by a small subset of the
users at this
site. So its not in heavy use. If it was the main application running
on the
Sun Ray server used by all users , Im sure we would have performance
problems.......
So , to summarize:
The Java Citrix client works.
You need to install it on an available Webserver. Or deploy a
webserver to install it.
You can use it for proof of concept on X86
Heavy usage of a JAVA application on a Sunray server is a
performance problem.
However , One or Three running instances of the javacitrix client on
a X4200 is not a
performance problem and works well.

3. There is a Citrix Java client. It cannot be installed on the SRS, it has
to be loaded dynamically from a web server, presumably one running on the
Citrix server. It would probably put high resource demands on the SRS and
may be a bit complicated to set up, but it is an option.
Don't do it.... it's very slow and kind of a mess. From the Download
page for the Java client...
"Additionally, the Java Client applet must be installed on a web
server. End-users should not attempt to install the applet directly
onto client machines."
Basically it's an embedded applet, not stand alone, this means that
each user will have a browser running as well
