PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AN APPLET AND A LOCAL AGENT USING A SOCKET COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

摘要

A process allowing communication between a java code and an executable softwarefile which permits the java code to receive an access to the internal system resources of the user s computer. The java code is arranged to be configured as aserver in the client s configuration, by means of the establishment of a server socketcommunication channel. Once established, that socket communication channel isused for allowing a full ordered, error-free communication between the java codeand the local executable file, thereby allowing the java code to take profit of the internal system resources of the user s computer. Preferably, the java code isreceived by the user through an Internet/Intranet network as an applet which thusreceives an effective and powerful access to the system resources of the user's machine.
