Tuesday May 27, 2008 It's Not Flash -It's An Video Streaming Applet - With Java SE 6u10 Effect
I watched yesterday a streaming video session from Apache Con and recognized, that it isn't flash but an applet. The start time was very fast - it took about 2 seconds on my machine - the streaming begun almost immediately (Disclaimer: I'm using JDK16u10 und Firefox 3rc1 with the new plugin - Eclipse, Netbeans, Glassfish and JavaDB were already running - so the bytecode was probably precached....). Even more interesting - I looked at the code and it seems like the applet communicates with the HTML-page using JavaScript for the slideshow - a perfect sample for liveconnect. I found the link to the origin applet as well. It seems like it was created long before the JDK 1.6u10 release. So - applets are back. The only problems is the name "applet". Because of it history - it is no more buzzword compliant :-).Kudos to the German http://www.linux-magazin.de/ for providing (propably un-intentionally) this use case.
