    Java 2

    Hi,

    Is it possible to use Java 2 in an appplet to communicate (both ways) with
    MGViewer (ActiveX / PlugIn)? I know that it is possible to use Java 1.1
    with Netscape and LiveConnect but how to do the same with IE5 (IE6) and Java
    2. I tried to use the JVM (Java Plugin 1.3.1) from SUN running in the
    browser but without any good result.

    Regards,

    Pierre Cardinal

    Hi Pierre,

    I tested JDK 1.2.2 with MapGuide Release 6.0 Viewer (PlugIn version) and it
    works. I was able to access the PlugIn from within a wrapper applet on
    Netscape browser version 4.72. However, this failed on JDK 1.3.

    It might be possible to access the ActiveX control Viewer from within
    Microsoft Visual J++ but I doubt if this is commonly done. If you want to
    use Java with the MapGuide Viewer on IE, it is better to do this with the
    Java Edition Viewer. However, there are some limitations here, since IE does
    not support the LiveConnect technology.

    Cheers
