Hello Michael,
The emulator is a Java GUI application, which means you cannot launch it as a servlet or as an HTML page. As you told me that you are already launching the emulator as an applet, I presume you have Java installed correctly on the target PCs as I think the applet will not run in a standard Windows JVM within the browser. So you need the java plugin in the browser.
The actual web start deployment is thus very easy. Just write up an JNLP file for the emulator. You can install this on your webserver so that everyone is able to launch the latest version of the emulator from your webserver by clicking a link to the JNLP file. I have a simple JNLP file that is attached. Please change it for your needs: the codebase should point to the base URL where to find all jars, icons etc.
HTH,
Wim.

Hi Wim -
Thanks for the feedback. What are the alternatives to launching the
emulator as an applet? Can I launch it as a servlet?
I'll look into web start.
Thanks...
- Michael
