KJAS Status

A basic security manager is now in place, based on the SafeServer example in 'Java Examples In A Nutshell' (O'Reilly). The id changes are done too, as is emitting signals. The KDE side now does start/stop.

The Java side is mostly done, only the security manager remains to be started. The server doesn't yet emit the various showXXX signals. I'd also like to store the id's in a hashtable instead of a Vector. The KDE side only supports half of the protocol (all the destruction and start/stop is missing). Only the basics of the KJavaProcess class are implemented.

Todo / Ideas

Handle resize requests from the applet
Check the security manager in more detail
Test the destruction code thoroughly
LiveConnect
The ability to access the public members (both data and methods) of applets and system classes, and to be able to create Java objects using Javascript. Should be feasible using basic reflection techniques and a minor protocol extension.
Custom applet types
Building on the LiveConnect idea, and the fact that KJAS makes it easy to put applets into any type of application, how about a way for applications to add their won custom commands, and to provide a Java side protocol extension that implements it? It might even be possible to do the live connect in both directions.
