Web application using JSP web application or applet? - java

If i want to make a web application in java i mean JSP should I create an Applet and put it into a browser or create "Java web project"?
In other words the big companies system like Oracal and others have there own system by creating java web application or using applet and putting it into browsers.
Thanks

I would create a "Java web project".
Using an applet is considered a bad practice due to all of the security issues, the need for the user to install the correct version of java, and enable it in the browser.
Go with a solid java web framework like spring / spring-mvc. See this guide on how to start: https://spring.io/guides/gs/serving-web-content/

Java Applet runs on client side (in the brouser, like javascript), but JSP is part of Java Servlet API and runs on server side (you need to install servlet container like Tomcat to run them). It's not equivalent technologies with different abilities and application area.

Applets are old fashioned now, Applets were used to create interactive web applications in the early days of http development when developing a interactive website was not possible using any browser based technologies like html, css and java script.
But now the things have changed with the evolution of web-2.0. Now you can develop the interactive web application by using only browser based technologies and you don't have to install any third party tools or plugins like in the case of applet, JRE should be installed on client machine.

Converting a java web start application (jnlp) to an applet

I have a java application which is a java web start application. It is used to administer a remote server. Now I want to convert it to an applet to run in the browser. Is there an easy way to achieve this. What are my options to achieve this? By the way my java application stores and reads some conf files on the client file system. Would this be a problem if I run my application as an applet?
That shouldn't be too hard since Sun/Oracle introduced JNLP support for applets in version 6u10 (1.6.0_10).
In short:
Adapt your app to the applet lifecycle,
set the permissions correctly and
sign it with an official certificate.
(and of course embedd your applet in a web page)

Embedable Java-based HTTP server with (PHP) scripting support

For my Java project I need to embed a web server to provide various web pages to the user. Until now we used the "official" com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer class, which basically works fine.
However, now we want to extend our application in order to not only serve static HTML pages via the embeded HTTP server, but also dynamic content (PHP if possible).
Any recommendations?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it quite easy to integrate Jython within my Java application :)

Client Side Java Web technologies

I have a bunch of shell scripts on every client machine. I need a web interface to provide settings for these scripts and it should invoke these scripts.
If i run a web application from a server to run scripts, it will overload the server due to multiple client requests, so client side web app is preferred.
Applets can solve this. But, it is outdated and I dont like it.
Is there any other new/good technologies to do such client side computing ?
Are you talking about web application or desktop application?
If this is a web application, so as far as I know - no. You must use applet embedded at your web page to run the script.
If desktop application - it can use the API for execution processes at Java.
Another option is maybe to download some small server code that will be used to invoke scripts, and have you web application communicate with it, in order to invoke a process.
The downside of this is that this is not a "straightforward" usage of your web application.

How to run jar Files in web Application

Now I have two .jar files: one is a chat Client and the other one is the chat Server. They are running fine on my desktop application, but now I want to upload them to run on my website. What is the best method for doing this? I have the following files:
chatclient.jar
chatserver.jar
Can some one please advise on how to put them in my web page without having to download them when a user clicks on them?
You do not provide enough information.
What would you like to achieve?
What technologies are you using inside the JARS?
Why not package the server jar with a web application ?
Is your client a desktop application, if so, why not to put it in the client's classpath?
Maybe consider having the client implemented in JavaScript using jQuery for example and some web sockets technology,
or maybe using some java web framework or tookit like GWT or Apache Wicket?

Java application on windows server possibility?

I'd like to know if it is possible to have this application (neo4j) running on windows server 2008 alongside an asp.net mvc application. Reason for this, I need to access the graph database (neo4j) which provides a RESTful service from my mvc application. How would I go about setting up this architecture?
According to the website you linked to the application is self-contained (no Tomcat etc required). So just installing the Windows package and following the instructions here (for starting the service) should suffice.
