XXE cannot run as an <applet> using Internet Explorer's Microsoft Java 1.1.4 runtime (which has been more or less abandoned by Microsoft). XXE requires Java 1.4. Our next planned feature is: Deployment using Sun's Java Plug-in for web browsers. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/detailed_features.html#planned I don't think this feature will be released before the end of this year. May be in January 2004. > If not as an applet, then what would be the recommanded way of integrating > XML editing within the web-based back-office of a CMS, for editing content as > XML, then posting it back ? If the CMS has an integrated a WebDAV server, use WebDAV. Otherwise, write 2 custom commands: * 1 custom command to open the document, * and 1 custom command to save the document. The basic idea is the following: - The custom open command displays a custom dialog box allowing the user to choose which document to open. - The custom open command opens a connection to the CMS and download ``something'' which it saves as a temporary XML file. - The custom open command uses built-in command *XXE.open* to open the temporary XML file. We have not tried to do this, but this should be possible. If this is not possible (or if you find this approach not elegant) just tell us why and we will enhance XXE ASAP to make it possible. (All this requires Professional Edition.)
