Can I create a Java applet using Jambi so that my application/library can be accessible via a web browser ?

Answer:

Qt Jambi does currently not support being embedded into an AWT or Swing widget, and since an Applet is an AWT widget, Qt Jambi cannot run directly inside the applet in a browser.

Qt Jambi does support downloading the class libraries and its native libraries from the web and starting the application this way. See the Qt Jambi Webstart for more details.

It is possible to have an applet that downloads the same files as the webstart does, but this is slightly more work as the webstart has built-in functionality for detecting client architecture, etc.

Using Web Start one can write applications that are deployed from a single web server and run on all platforms the provider chooses.
