Very Computer

The reason we're getting into all of this is because there seem to be no
banks in Canada that have or allow direct connections into their credit card
processing system. They all want to have controlled front-ends on the
customer side - like this plug-in. For customers in the states we've used
Visalink very successfully but no bank in Canada has that kind of network,
according to the customer.

Thanks for your help.

I don't know about the banking networks, but I would investigate this
one a little more.  It seems strange what your customer is telling you
about access to the networks.

At it's simplest, the applet just needs to use RMI to execute code living on
the server where the applet is loaded from. The RMI routine could open a
socket to the D3 server (using JD3 as someone mentioned or your own
home-brewed socket connection), run some D3 code and pass the results back up
the line.

Of course, if the vendor of the tool does not have a usable API, or supply
source code, you might be SOL.
