I am now investigating an intranet project.
The client machines will be running Netscape
Communicator 4.05.

Since our target will be towards the "thin client"
approach, we are considering loading a signed applet
over the net, which is used to call an API function
from a .DLL file located on the client machine, then
send the value returned from the API function call
back to the server.

So I would like to know whether this is feasible or
not, if yes, do I need to install the Java Plug-in
for running signed applet on every client machine?
Besides, what other tools are required in order to
implement the signing process?

As far as I know, JDK 1.1.6 is the latest release
version of JDK that I know supported by Netscape
Enterprise Server 3.5.1 (also the latest release
version of the product), is it that as long as the
browser supports the version of JDK, there is no need
to concern about the Netscape Enterprise Server?
