RE: Printing with websphere

[Nick_Vrtis@xxxxxxxxx]

Caution about printing with applets.... a while ago, I did some research
about doing this with IE4....  It was not pretty.  IE4 started ANOTHER
instance of the applet and ran the print from there....  I ended up having
to make the applet smart enough to know that it was the "printing copy" and
not do stupid things like load the data again, or ask for sign on
information.  Not too difficult.... two applets can talk to each other, and
exchange data, but it was sort of uggly.  I have not looked into Netscape
or IE5.

We've already seen this solution. The problem is always the same: all the
tools
we have seen to do that use AWT, so we need Remote AWT.

The only other alternative seems effectivly to be applets. We'll do that if
we don't
have other solutions

Thanks

Gilles, the only way I can think of to effectively use JavaServer Pages (by
that, I assume you mean HTML-only) is to generate a temporary GIF or JPEG
image and then send the image to the user (to see this in action, take a
look at http://www.mapquest.com).? I personally don't know how to do that,
but it will require some thinking on your part.? The only other alternative
is to use an applet.

Joe
