Bharath - 22 Dec 2003 20:27 GMT

I'm in the process of migrating an applet based chat
application to .Net J# Browser Control (JBC). My system
environment is as follows :
Win 2K, VS.Net 2003, .Net Framework 1.1,IE 6.0, JBC
Runtime 1.1

While, I was able to succesffuly migrate the client applet
to a Browser control, I have the following concerns. Any
significant insight into these would be greatly
appreciated.

1) Can Browser Controls be hosted in a non-IIS
environment ? For instance, I'm primarily looking into
WebLogic Server scenario.

2)How can we achieve inter-Browser Control communication ?
I understand from MSDN that JBC doesn't support scripting
access.

3)I downloaded JBC Runtime and installed in manually.
However, how can it be automatically deployed remotely on
client machines. I like to know the same for administering
security policy as well.

Thanks & Regards
-Bharath

Bharath,

The only .Net specific code would be running on the client machine, any web
server should be able to host an html page with a JSharp Browser Control.
IE will simply request a file from the server like any other file.

That is correct, the scripting of JSharp Browser Controls is currently not
supported. At this point there is no way to script a JSharp Browser
Control.

You may want to look into something like SMS that would allow you to push
down updates to remote machines.

Thanks Michael !

Is there any methodology other than SMS or Group Policy to
deploy Browser Control Runtime on the client side.
Something like automatic download(upon client approval)
and install during loading of the Browser Control by IE.

Hi Bharath,
Thanks for using JBC v1.1 and providing feedback.

We are working on the next version of J# Browser Controls and the main
feature is Scripting. If you are interested in participating in the beta
program please email me at gopinach@microsoft.com

Bharat,

The only means (via MS technology) of pushing down code to a client that I
know of is SMS.

Thanks,
