javassist.tools.web.Viewer

public class Viewer
extends ClassLoader

A sample applet viewer.

This is a sort of applet viewer that can run any program even if the main class is not a subclass of Applet. This viewwer first calls main() in the main class.

To run, you should type:

% java javassist.tools.web.Viewer host port Main arg1, ...

This command calls Main.main() with arg1,... All classes including Main are fetched from a server http://host:port. Only the class file for Viewer must exist on a local file system at the client side; even other javassist.* classes are not needed at the client side. Viewer uses only Java core API classes.

Note: since a Viewer object is a class loader, a program loaded by this object can call a method in Viewer. For example, you can write something like this:

 Viewer v = (Viewer)this.getClass().getClassLoader();
 String port = v.getPort();
