Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Java Open Clients

Navigator

When adding your applet to a Web page for Navigator, you must consider the following:

Earlier Navigator browsers did not support downloading and installing Java libraries. Therefore, every time a user accesses the Web page for the first time in a session, the applet, proxy, and the Open Client Runtime packages are downloaded.
Navigator versions prior to 4.05 did not allow an applet to support multiple .jar files. If you need to support a version of Navigator prior to 4.05, you must repackage everything into a single .jar file and sign it.

For Navigator version 4.05 or later, you can use the following applet tag to embed your applet in a Web page:

<applet code="AppletTest.class" codebase="/cabs" name="AppletTest" width="320" height="240" archive="apptest.jar,o4glrt.jar"> </applet>

In the above example, the applet code and proxies are in the signed apptest.jar file, and the Open Client Runtime package is in the o4glrt.jar file. When Navigator encounters this tag, it downloads both .jar files. When your applet requests UniversalConnection privileges, a dialog box opens and prompts your user to grant the privilege.
