Java and the InternetIf Java is, in fact, yet another computer programming language, you may question why it is so important and why it is being promoted as a revolutionary step in computer programming. The answer isnt immediately obvious if youre coming

5、from a traditional programming perspective. Although Java is very useful for solving traditional stand-alone programming problems, it is also important because it will solve programming problems on the World Wide Web.2.1 Client-side programmingThe Webs initial server-browser design provided for inte

Basic HTML contains simple mechanisms for data gathering: text-entry boxes, check boxes, radio boxes, lists and drop-d

7、own lists, as well as a button that can only be programmed to reset the data on the form or “submit” the data on the form back to the server. This submission passes through the Common Gateway Interface CGI provided on all Web servers. The text within the submission tells CGI what to do with it. The

8、most common action is to run a program located on the server in a directory thats typicallycalled “cgi-bin.” If you watch the address window at the top of your browser when you push a button on a Web page, you can sometimes see “cgi-bin” within all the gobbledygook there. These programs can be writt

9、en in most languages. Perl is a common choice because it is designed for text manipulation and is interpreted, so it can be installed on any server regardless of processor or operating system.Many powerful Web sites today are built strictly on CGI, and you can in fact do nearly anything with it. How

10、ever, Web sites built on CGI programs can rapidly become overly complicated to maintain, and there is also the problem of response time. The response of a CGI program depends on how much data must be sent, as well as the load on both the server and the Internet. On top of this, starting a CGI progra

For example, any sort of dynamic graphing is nearly impossible to perform with consistency because a GIF file must be created and moved f

You press the submit button on a page; the data is shipped back to the server; the server starts a CGI program that discovers an erro

13、r, formats an HTML page informing you of the error, and then sends the page back to you; you must then back up a page and try again. Not only is this slow, its inelegant.The solution is client-side programming. Most machines that run Web browsers are powerfulengines capable of doing vast work, and w

Client-side programming means that the Web browser is harnessed to do whatever work it can, and the result for the user is a much speedier and more interactive experience at your

15、Web site.The problem with discussions of client-side programming is that they arent very different from discussions of programming in general. The parameters are almost the same, but the platform is different: a Web browser is like a limited operating system. In the end, you must still program, and

16、this accounts for the dizzying array of problems and solutions produced by client-side programming. The rest of this section provides an overview of the issues and approaches in client-side programming.2.2 Plug-insOne of the most significant steps forward in client-side programming is the development of the plug-in. This is a way for a programmer to add new functionality to the browser by downloading a piece of code that plugs itself int
