Example of crossdomain.xml support with Flickr.com

The applet above shows the most recent Flickr photos for a given user. The applet is only 8k with Pack200 compression, starts quickly, and if you are using JavaSE 6 update 10 then it requires no signing or warning dialogs, even though it is connecting live to Flickr.com. If you are using an older browser then it will fall back to a signed version. When you click on a photo it will take you to the Flickr page for that photo.

This applet demostrates the following features of the new plugin:

• Animated gifs for the plugin loader.
• Using Pack200 compression in an applet to reduce the size from 32KB to 8KB
• Using crossdomain.xml files to do cross domain access without security warnings.
• Using the applet JNLP to degrade gracefully on older browsers

The animated loading GIF was generated by loadinfo.net.

you can embed this applet in your own page with the following applet tag:

                
        <applet code="photostrip.Applet"
                archive="http://projects.joshy.org/demos/PhotoStrip/webstart/PhotoStrip.jar"
                width="300" height="200"
