Hello,
I need help with an old applet which I can't use.
For many years i used a Java Applet called TeamStats for different sports league
tables. It was a simple but very useful applet.
Then Oracle started to come up with their new security things which made aömost
all my Java Applets impossibe to use, unfortunately also TeamStats.
After trying for a while to get this applet work, I simply gave up.
For two years I've tried different, Programs which can be used for maintaining
sports league tables, all of them more complicated to handle and not as useful
as TeamStats. I even bought a buggy program for a nice sum of money which turned
out to be worthless, very limited and no support at all from those who sold it
to me.
I've tried to construct Excel tables but it's too complicated and they take too
much time to work with.
So I've decided to bring TeamStats back to life. But how?
Unfortunately, I only have the Swedish applet and other language versions aren't
available anymore. I hope that someone might understand the principles for the
applet anyway and make it work for me. Or if there are anyone who can create a
new but similar useable applet for me.
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

Hi, I looked at your reference to that different forum and it seems quite
resolved to me.
Applets, especially the old ones, are genarily consider security rist (more
about applets security - https://en.wikipedia.org/…/Java_applet#…). So as a user,
you have to globaly lower you security messures inside your computer and also in
this case you need old Java version installed. I really don't recommend
this.
As you sugested yourself, the second option is to rewrite old applet to meet
modern security standarts. For that you need its source code (see forum) and to
understand its security polici (see link to Wiki). As I understood, you're not
so skilled or don't have the time, so you would like someone else to do it for
you. In that case prepare a lot of money. I mean a lot, because these things are
really expensive.
Personally I would recommend to rewrite applet functionality into modern web
standards like HTML5, CSS3 and JS. It's easier and so cheaper and it will work
globally without any complications.
