Hi.
I found the AppletIntegration Add-On, and i think,
this could be very useful, but:
I can’t figure out, how to use it. 
(And i am not alone,
as far as i read the posts in the forum.)
The Screenshot -sample is much too complicated for
a beginner. (BTW: The Online-Screenshot-Demo does not
work, it can do screenshots, but it does not show them…)
In the screenshot source is just the upload-based component,
the source of the vaadin-app, where the component is used,
is missing. (Ok, i finally found a code snippet in the forum,
that shows the use of the component.)
What i would really need, is the source code of
-
a simple Applet (JFrame) with
- a TextField
- a Button
-
a simple vaadin-app (Window) with
- a TextField
- a Button
-
Click on the Button of the vaadin-app and the Applet
is called with the value of the TextField -
The Applet displays that value in it’s own TextField
and maybe can send it back on Button-Click to the
vaadin-app-TextField.
That should be enough to figure the rest out.
Finally some of the FAQs should be answered:
- The ‘correct’ value for setCodebase()
In every single post i see different values… - How must the Applet be build, where to put the binary?
A simple class in the vaadin-app? A stand-alone class / jar? - What about that signing-thing?
Always mentioned, but never really explained… - How do i put it all together in a Tomcat environment?
Can we have this, please? 
Some (really) useful links are welcome, too.
greetings
Ralf
