I have a couple of questions related to running Rhino in an applet.

1. Does running Rhino in an applet mean that compilation of scripts to
byte
codes is not possible? I am guessing yes.

I am unfamiliar with Rhino, but was curious. What
makes you guess that? What does Rhino do that you
suspect cannot be done in an applet, and why?

Well I was assuming that it's not possible to compile a script to byte co=

des

and then run them on the JVM without accessing the local file system.

Well, since you *mention that* I might add..

.. Are
you saying that this can be done in memory?

...if Rhino can do that using input / output streams,
then it can do that using ByteArrayInput/OutputStream -
and do the compilation entirely in memory.
