A J2EE presentation pattern: Applets with servlets and XML Sometimes a standard HTML view on your J2EE-based system doesn't offer a sophisticated enough user interface. Based on the pattern described here, you can enhance such a Web interface with the Java Plug-in. The Java Plug-in lets you embed applets that consume XML documents and display the contained data in a particular way. These XML documents contain presentation data derived from servlets looking at your business logic tier. This lets your users access powerful UI components while still retaining a strong decoupling between the business logic and presentation tiers---without complicated firewall issues. |
