adminDisadvantages of Java Applet
- It requires the Java plug-in.
- Some browsers, notably mobile browsers running Apple iOS or Android do not run Java applets at all.
- Some organizations only allow software installed by the administrators. As a result, some users can only view applets that are important enough to justify contacting the administrator to request installation of the Java plug-in.
- As with any client-side scripting, security restrictions may make it difficult or even impossible for an untrusted applet to achieve the desired goals.
- Some applets require a specific JRE. This is discouraged.
- If an applet requires a newer JRE than available on the system, or a specific JRE, the user running it the first time will need to wait for the large JRE download to complete.
- Java automatic installation or update may fail if a proxy server is used to access the web. This makes applets with specific requirements impossible to run unless Java is manually updated. The Java automatic updater that is part of a Java installation also may be complex to configure if it must work through a proxy.
- Unlike the older applet tag, the object tag needs workarounds to write a cross-browser HTML document.
