Hi there,

I have been asked to brief the CIO of my company on the benefits of Java for
Intranet
application development. Currently, my company does allow Java to be used due
to it
being banned by our information security office. Members of this area will
also be at the
CIO meeting to try to stop my efforts.

Basically, I need your help with getting Java accepted within our company.

1. Is there any resource you can point me to that explains the benefits of an
Intranet
implementation using Java? A case study would be nice.

2. Are there documents available that I can use to defend the claims that Java
is not
secure. I need to defend claims like "a person can download a virus from the
Internet
that is hidden within an applet."

I would really appreciate all the help you can give me. I would really like to
be an
educated evangelist for Java use within my company.

Thanks,

Michael Carter
Web Developer
