Requirements

To run the StudioManager application, or any Java Client application, you must have server and client systems with certain capabilities beyond the usual requirements for Enterprise Objects Framework applications (database servers, for instance). You must have a client (such as a Web browser) and a server platform that implement Java virtual machines (VM) on which "100% pure Java" applications can run. The client must also support the following standards:

Java Foundation Classes (JFC), also known as "Swing"
A transport layer such as HTTP or CORBA,

Currently, Java Client applications can be run from Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers (with the Java Plug-in from SunSoft), and with the JDK's appletviewer and java programs.
