The first reason being that initially a Java Virtual Machine was only available to users of 32 bit operating systems such as Windows/95 and so users of 16 bit operating systems such as Windows 3.1 would not be able to run the applets.

Yes. Those are client-side technologies, so the host doesn't have to do anything to support or enable them. Any browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape) that supports them is enough, so any host will do. It doesn't matter whether Java or Flash are listed among the plan's features, they are supported by default.

We strive to make Wicket available for the largest possible number of developers. This means that we have to take into account those developers that don't have the luxury of running their application servers on Java 5. Many shops don't run on Java 5 yet. We would be doing ourselves and our users a great disservice when we would target Java 5 as our base platform. several members of our community have pointed out, there is a code converter for running Java 5 code on a Java 1.

We don't use stored procedures since they will result in a non-portable application. Our design allows, however, for stored procedures to be added elegantly--all you need to do is to provide an alternate Data Access Object that plugs into the application architecture and makes stored procedure calls. These are essentially a performance optimization that are particular to a specific application and its deployment environment.

Java 3D comes with various packages. Installing it incorrectly may inadvertently disable Java Plug-in or cause it to fail. Follow these general instructions for using Java 3D and Java Plug-in Software: Install Java 3D in a new directory. Do not install it over the existing Java SDK, Standard Edition/JRE. See this page for installation instructions. Install a version of the SDK/JRE that is appropriate for Java 3D if one is not already installed on your computer.

clearly indicated in class, you may NOT use Java's hashtable class. The goal of this lab is for you to write your own hashtable class.

The client and server software need Java 1.4.2 (or higher). The servlets require the Java Servlet library which is available from Java.com in the Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE), or via downloading a servlet engine such as Apache Tomcat.

Cute; superficial: two adjectives working together to describe what I think of that stuff. Let's change the subject, slightly. For cultural history buffs, I read recently that the venerable "Norton Anthology of Literature" series, a college textbook staple for years, has come out with a new collection encompassing the era of "Postmodern American Fiction," and that it includes examples of hypertext fiction.

We chose Java to implement the VR scenes because it does not require a plug-in down load (like QuickTime), and because the VR scenes are roughly a third to a half the size of comparable resolution QTVR scenes. Some of the VR scenes in this site are also available in QTVR by clicking on the icon on the right side-bar of a VR Tour page. We strongly suggest that you update to a version that does support Java and Java script.

It is really hard to get an image of what HD actually looks like. This would be something your doctor would have to do while your or someone was in surgery.

No. Once a site is registered to a member it cannot be used again, even if the consumer cancels their subscription. However, if you transfer a HomeHub iSafe member to a HomeHubConnect subscription, then a HomeHub iSafe membership is released to be given to a new client.

This is one of the oldest still-active animation pages on the Web. When I created this webpage in 1997, the Internet wasn't quite the instant entertainment medium it is today. I wanted to create a webpage that was vaguely scholarly, very informative, and stressed content over flash animation and JAVA applets. I'm not saying that you can't have a quality, content-heavy page using more modern techniques.

Everything you need to get started is in googleapi.jar. Advanced users may prefer to use their own Java SOAP implementations and use the WSDL file to generate client code.

Sun's java which contains JDK and JRE. You can find it @ http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Not being a port from a different environment, the Java Foundation Classes conform 100% with Java's object and component model. Developers find JFC a very easy and natural extension to the Java Platform.

It depends on what you want to do. Most people will have a satisfactory experience with the default viewer (the one that pops up when you click to see a zoomable image). If you are an experienced web user, you may like the smoother panning available with the java and plug-in clients. If you want to rotate the images you will need to use the plug-in.

Java is a computer programming language that was developed by Sun Microsystems. It runs on many types of computers, servers, cell phones, PDAs, set tops and now Java Cards. Its best attributes are built in security and cross platform portability. Experienced Java programmers are entrenched with a religious passion that there is no other way. By programming in Java an application is designed for multiple platforms. Most of today?s platforms are designed to use the Java standard.

FLAG's intent is to offer an open site that displays reasonably quickly, presents information without much ado on a wide range of hardware and software platforms, and is straightforward and easy to manoeuver. Design elements such as (flash) animations and the like typically add bandwith, increase load times, and sometimes require the installation of (occasionally proprietary) additional software (plugins etc.). The only fancy aspects currently implemented are limited use of javascript and css.

I am convinced that a site like mine must give information, that's its basic goal. And for the kind of information I offer plain text could even be enough. Of course graphics and look are desirable, but not so important. We are bothered every day by graphic-heavy sites that have no real information content and make you spend your money and your time (and you cannot gain time!) for nothing.

Yes. JavaScript, Java Applets and Flash are client-side technologies, so the hosting provider doesn't have to do anything to support or enable them. Any web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape) that supports them is enough. It doesn't matter if Java or Flash are not listed among the hosting plan's features, they are supported by default.

According to posts in webtv.users from Steve Perlman, ex-president of WebTV, WebTV has been working to provide a form of Personal Java for the WebTV Plus terminal (and possibly the new Classics and Dishplayer, but nothing was said specifically about them as they were not announced products at the time of the posts)?there is no guarantee this will happen. For the full text of Steve's posts, click here.

When you logon as a subscriber, you will enter the MEMBERS ACTIVITIES CENTER. This is YOUR stress manager! You will see many links. They all have either an on-line, real time activity behind them, or are prompting you through a stress management process (with a little fun added in). Choose one according to your mood. If you don't know which one will really "do it", then keep clicking. Most people find what they need right away.

The promise of Web standards can only be fulfilled if we have consistent standards support from the major browsers. At this point in time, while all modern browsers (Mozilla, IE 5+ Mac, IE 6+ Windows, Opera 7) offer good support for Web standards, they don't all support them the same. Because of that fact, and various other reasons, some Web designers and developers are often reluctant to take on the challenge of Web standards.

But at this time, unfortunately not. The two compilers are just not at all compatible. In an ideal world, there would be a wonderful Open Source extensible compiler framework for Java that both GJ and AspectJ would be built on top of, and they would seamlessly interoperate along with all other extensions to Java that you might be interested in, but that's not the case (yet?).
