Ok there is more I wanted to add to this. Here is what I want to have a
website do ...
1.) Display welcome page with links, news, ads, and an option to
sign in. People don't have to sign up to do most things.
2.) Signed in people can change page preferences
and choose to stay signed in. The next time they
visit the site all their preferences will take effect unless they
sign out which will bring it back to default. If you are
wondering out of curiosity, if they sign in at a freinds
house, etc then all their preferences will be loaded there
too in their browser.
3.) The sign up and sign in textbox, combo, etc will all
be data-bound using Sun Micros bundled database server.
Of course I will have to create a database and use
a data provider for these signin/signout components.
The session bean I belive would have a public object
to grant the access permissions, etc
throughout all the pages while logged in.
4.) I want all my games running in a JApplet so I can use
swing components and to also make it nice and neat.
The swing components like JFrames and JPanels ,etc
will probably be for use with signed on visitors for checking
mail and implementing a chat room(s) , and well, just
being part of my games too. The Graphics2D object
seems to work well in the example I wrote using a
JApplet. I'm sure It would have been pretty much the
same using a regular applet with the difference with
threading which is'nt a big deal really. Actually
threading is a blessing.
5.) When someone clicks on a JApplet to play it, or if it is
a utility like a scientific calculator, greeting card sender,
or any kind, I'd like it to be contained in its own
popup window with a fixed border(JApplet works
good here I belive).
6.) The page must accomodate cellphones and automatically
detect a cellphone entering the page and rearrange all components
to fit the tiny-ass screen most cellphones have. I know that
DOT NET can do this and I'm pretty good with Visual Basic.NET
but like I say I DON'T want to pirate anything because this
has to go down completely legal. I'm sure everyone understands
how poor people, like me, (I mean I have a 64bit widescreen
Compaq
R3000 laptop, 2 other fast computers with 1.25GB memory,
and a Business DSL service with 1Mb/sec upload speed, and a
static IP address used with my domain name which the webserver
runs on one of the other computers and is off now because of
these
hoops I have to jump through) who have to spend every last dime
on food and books and put all their energy into dropping bad
C++ and Visual Basic habbits to fully learn Java to make a
descent living to support my family. But I"M A 'REAL' HACKER !
My other half thinks the computers are my wives. LOL! LMFAO !!!
She gets mad at me for staying up all night taking notes and
hacking.
But I've showed her some really cool applets and she gets the
point
If you read up on some Java history you will find that in the
beginning,
Java ,which was not called Java yet, is a descendant of smalltalk and
C++.
There was this group in Pala Alto called 'The Green Team' .
From what I gather Java's first name was Oak named after a tree
in the 'Green Teams' yard. These people developed a device called
*7 (pronounced Star Seven), which was a handheld remote control
device which basically ran programs written in Oak back then.
They were trying to get the cable networks to buy this technology.
I'm *glad* the cable companies (like Time Warner) don't own the
rights to this because they would be owning the rights to Java also
if I am correct. The 'Green Team' finally became 'First Person'
and later on Java was born .
I think this happened at a Hollywood / Entertainers convention where
Java was actually "BORN". This happened when a browser program
called HotJava, still in its infancy, was demonstated at this
convention and what happened after that is history in which
should be printed in history books and be taught in every
classroom in america . The world actually... What was
demonstrated was the Java mascott, Duke, and a line sorting
algorithm. These Were APPLETS !!!!
I had to include that bit of (inaccurate but close enough?) history
to show how important Applets are to a java programmer.
It's also where the money is because :
APPLETS RUN ON CELLPHONES!!!!
I think Sun Java Studio Creator was designed with applet deployment
in mind but nobody is telling how to add them in to a page. I would'nt
be supprised if one would have to make a Composite Component
to achive this but I'm damned sure it can be done and done easily
Have a nice day !
