Discussion: How can I get an old applet to work?
In the previous quiz, Online Java Quiz, we tested our experience gained from the course.

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.
