I think it is. There are a couple of tools that let you replace CSS on
an HTML page. The page design folks use them to mock up new pages or
fix errors before propagating back to the server.

He's just assuming that applets are like HTML. It's a rookie maneuver,
nothing more.


Mark,

I think you get my drift, but I'd raise you one further. Albeit
insecure, there *should* be a way to replace applets like you would
replace CSS. It would make things a helluva lot simpler in
development. This shouldn't be turned on by default, but it should be
there.

BTW there are tons of things that sense for development purposes, that
make no sense for production deployment. Why this is any different is
beyond me.


No, there shouldn't. How would an applet call back to the correct host if you
have it mounted from localhost? Applets are only allowed to get resources
from their own server.

Your fundamental error in thought is that applets are not at all like CSS.
CSS is a brower-interpreted, client-side phenomenon. Applets are a JVM-run,
server-side phenomenon that just happen to run out of a browser. Big difference.

Now stop whining about your pathetic thoughts of how things "should" be and
deal with reality as it actually is, or find a profession that doesn't require
rational reasoning. Or write your own technology to compete with applets.
Just stop whining over and over and over and over and over and over about how
you think in your infinite wisdom and genius that things should be different
than they actually are. You'll never get the job done that way.

It's pathetic.
