Webmaster Forum / Flash / General Flash Topics / July 2008

SAP has recently announced that it will no longer support invocation of JAVA
applets directly from its "WebDynproABAP" or "WebDynproJava" applications.
(Until recently, SAP supported an "iframe" UI element that could be used to run
JAVA applets from within WebDynpro applications - soon this will be only doable
in frames within SAP's portal via "client-side eventing".)

However, SAP will be supporting invocation of Adobe Flash and MS Silverlight
from within its WebDynpro Applications.

So here's my question.

From an SAP WebDynpro application, I want to pass parameters to the JAVA
applet "JMol" and have it run in a separate frame. Since I will no longer be
able to call this applet directly from the SAP WebDynpro application, I'm
wondering if I could pass parameters to Adobe Flash or MS Silverlight and have
Flash or Silverlight invoke the applet for me with the correct parameters. (I
would still only want two frames - the one that the SAP app is running in and
the one that the JAVA applet winds up running in.)

Thanks for any time anyone can afford to spend considering this question, and
for any answer(s) anyone can provide.
