In some ways, CORBA client applets are easier to deploy than standalone applications. That's mostly because the Java applet infrastructure itself knows how to download class files, so we don't have to pre-install our code on the client Instead, the infrastructure will download them from the web server.
The flip side is that since browsers are not up-to-date with the JDK 1.2, so we need to install the 1.2 browser plug-in on the client as discussed earlier. We also need to use the HTML converter program to generate the HTML that we install on the web browser.
We need to repeat the message we gave when we discussed applets in RMI with regards to digital signing: if you don't sign your applet, you must put the web server and the object server on the same computer to avoid security violations.
This concludes our discussion of CORBA and Java!
