You could have built DHTML/AJAX though just powered by Java code. SPAs could have been built then.
Edit: Repliers live in an alternate reality where good applets were made and HTML didn't win.
- regularfry 3y agoAm I imagining it, or did someone do exactly that but with an invisible Flash component at one point?
- yyyk 3y agoThe idiomatic and library-supported way to make a Java web application was to make a richer interface using Java itself. Why reinvent the wheel to make a HTML interface, only to incur a performance penalty? EDIT: Java applets failed because of Java's poor integration and (at the time) performance and sandbox security. That had little to do with the DOM interface. Using that would have made things worse.
