There are two versions of the XML-RPC applet:

helma.xmlrpc.applet.XmlRpcApplet is a base class that provides basic XML-RPC client functionality and can be subclassed by your own applets.
helma.xmlrpc.applet.JSXmlRpcApplet is meant to be accessed via LiveConnect from JavaScript. JSXmlRpcApplet provides some access methods for adding arguments and fetching results from a XML-RPC request. This works on all recent Netscape 4.x browsers as well as Internet Explorer 4.0 on Windows 95/NT, but not on IE/Mac. There is a demo page and .jar file for the JSXmlRpcApplet.

Note that the applet uses its own XML-RPC client implementation and is totally independent from the helma.xmlrpc package.

The applet requires Java 1.1 because it uses Inner Classes and the java.io.Writer/Reader classes, so it should work on both recent version 4 browsers, but might not work on earlier Netscape 4 and version 3 browsers.

This applet is based on and contains a customized version of Microstar's AElfred XML Parser.
(I put AElfred into a new package to prevent security exceptions if the user has already installed AElfred on his or her hard drive. It is otherwise unchanged.)
