From: Pete Helgren>
I built [a] prototype which is really just a very thin layer
(well, not thin enough for Nathan!) over the top of tn5250j.

Moving tn5250j to the server seems like a good idea. That way, each workstation doesn't have to run its own set of applets and associated JVM.

The design also provides a way to run JavaScript on the browser to extend the interface. My main concern is the type and amount of HTML that web5250 generates.

Hence the suggestion to write a JavaScript client, and work with smaller data streams. Niels suggested a JSON formatted streams. That sounds fine to me.

I'm still curious how tn5250j works as a server? I've always thought of it as a single user client. You've come up with a way for multiple browsers to connect to a single servlet? And manage multiple concurrent connections?

Anyway it sounds like some of your TODOs could be solved by a JavaScript client - better support for function keys, for example.

Nathan.
