HTML and Java used together
HTML and Java should be used together. Each of them is
useful. They are complementary.
HTML for presentation
Presentation must be defined in a standard way. HTML is good
to solve this issue. It is the equivalent of dialog and menu
resources with Windows programming.
Java Virtual Machine for interactivity
Modern Web must be interactive and must support non-standard
presentations (i.e. a chessboard). Java Virtual Machine
achieves this goal. Moreover, like HTML, it is portable.
Needed enhancements to achieve this
Links between HTML forms and Java
HTML is responsible for presentation. So, it is also
responsible for forms. But links between HTML forms and Java
applets are actually poor. It is necessary to developp
standard Java libraries in this goal.
Scripting for end-user
End-users need a simple way to introduce interactivity in
their pages. Actual solutions, like JavaScript, embeds
script directly in HTML. The main drawback is a poor
performance relatively to byte-code. The main advantage is
easy writing of code.
Solution is development of tools for end-user that generate
Java byte-code, isolating user of complexity of understanding
Java language.
