    Subject: content handler for image/tiff

Hi there,

I have written a package for decoding TIFF images with any of the
following compression schemes : raw, packbits, Group3, Group4, and
JPEG, and any bit/byte order. This package works great as an applet
using AppletViewer or as an application, but since it implements
ContentHandlerFactory and ContentHandler it will not work with any of
the major browsers due to security restrictions. Is there anyway I can
use my package for viewing TIFF images from a browser? I am not the
only person who needs to be able to display TIFF images, finacial
institutions use TIFF exclusively for all their images (checks, treasury
checks, deposits, ...). I have two large banks that want applets for
displaying TIFF images yesterday. Now, I know that I can do this using
applications or have a client applet retrieve the bytes from a servlet
using a socket, but these options will not always fill all their needs.
Is there any other method that I am missing?

Thank you for your time,

Liz Marks
