[AG-TECH] help:what's about building a web-based venue client?

[Andrew Rowley]

Hi,

I would definitely say this is a good idea - I have been wanting to do something like this for a while now.  Basically this could be done in such a way that you don't need to install anything to make it work except Java.  

I would advise going with the AG3 interfaces and using Java Servlets with Web Start to launch things (and things called in this way don't have to be Java if you are clever with your packaging).  You could in principle use applets for the video/audio using JMF, but I wouldn't recommend that - web start is much more stable.

I would be happy to provide any help I can with this, although I am committed to other things right now...

Andrew :)

Hi All,

One of the comments that we get from our Physics community is "why can't it be more like VRVS". The simple web interface that everyone knows is not a bad thing... If that worked on top of the AG 3.0 TK I think that would be pretty cool. Not sure how to do it and/or how easy it would be, but what I understand to be the more "pure" (not sure if that is the right word) web services implementation of AG 3.0 should help.
