Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Hi Bob... I agree that this is a good way to go....IF your users can install the Java Runtime on their machines. The problem we've had is that in Windows XP, Administrator Privleges are still required to do this and not everyone can do this (for example, most of our staff is not "authorized"). We have gotten around this in a few cases by creating an installer for javaws, but then it is not automatically linked to the browser....Catch-22. Most of the time, though, it has been easier to just make an applilcation and package it with the JRE.... If you have other solutions, please let me know, too!! tom On 2/9/06, Vehorn, Robert CIV SPAWARSYSCEN Charleston SC J672 <robert.vehorn@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Just a quick note about using an application vice an applet; > applications can be loaded from your web server much the same as an > applet using Java Web Start. > > http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/index.html > > Cheers, > Bob > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-netcdf-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-netcdf-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Whittaker > Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 2:53 PM > To: Jon Blower > Cc: monica@xxxxxxxxxx; netcdf-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: how can I open netcdf file in applet? > > > You are correct.
