In response to my earlier question regarding opening up a socket connection from a web browser, I am thinking of 2 possible alternatives to calling the
java function directly from an ASP page:
1. Call the java function from a
JSP page
2. Create an
applet that will perform the message processing (i.e. opening up a connection to the host, sending the message across this connection and reading back the response)
From reading the messages on this forum, I think perhaps the java applet might not be a good idea as I will run into the same restrictions as I have when calling the java function directly from ASP. Right?
What then of JSP? Are the security restrictions removed when we declare: Socket socket = new Socket(ADDRESS, PORT) inside a JSP page?
Thanks again,
Sean
