Free applet vs standalone application software for linux

1060 NetKernel is a resource oriented microkernel and application server that provides a coherent execution abstraction that radically reduces software complexity. Its self-consistent design is based on the convergence and unification of powerful fundamental concepts found in the World Wide Web and Unix.
Resource Oriented Microkernel
The heart of NetKernel is a high-performance, carefully designed, and tightly crafted microkernel. Services and resources within NetKernel are located by URI addresses, just as resources are located on the World Wide Web. NetKernel implements and extends REST 1 into a general-purpose processing abstraction and allows it to be applied to the finest granularity of software systems to achieve phenominal performance; just as the REST Web-architecture achieves global scaling and high performance.
Coherent Abstraction
NetKernel unifies code execution and resource identification into a single addressing and processing abstraction. With this, software development becomes a process of construction (coding services), composition (linking and issuing service and resource requests), and constraint (restricting data values and honoring boundaries).
The simplicity of URI identified resources means that the results of service calls can be cached just as other resources, resulting in self-optimizing software where computation cost is a guaranteed minima.
Reduce Software Complexity
The unification of resources and services with URI addressing radically reduces sofware complexity. Because resources are addressed by URI and each request is a Web-like REST request dispatched to the microkernel, binding between clients and services occurs dynamically for each request. This late binding and the indirection of logical URI addressing results in a loosely coupled system which may be easily adapted. In fact, NetKernel supports dynamic upgrading of software and can support multiple versions of the same components simultaneously.
Complexity brought about by system growth is also managed through the URI address space which may be remodelled and extended indefinitely. A complex aggregation of services may always be abstracted into one or more higher-level services surfaced through URI interfaces.
Main features:
Manage Complexity
- NetKernels unification of resource and service addressing through the active URI scheme combined with late binding and loose typing means that complex systems can be partitioned not just into smaller coorperating systems, you can now create micro-services that hide complexity.
- With NetKernel, design and build larger and more ambitious systems while maintaining control of complexity.
Process XML with ease!
- Processing XML is often just too difficult. But the potential of XML is communication with almost no limit. How to harness and leverage the potential of XML? NetKernel provides hundreds of XML technologies as simple services (no APIs). Simply compose XML services into powerful message processes...
Integrate diverse technologies, apply business logic
- NetKernels uniform URI addressing of resources and service allow you to encapsulate and hide the complexities of any technology, whether it is a Java API, legacy code, or remote corporate systems. Once encapsulated, develop new coordination logic in one of NetKernels scripting languages.
Transport technology independence
- Write a service or application and deploy it to service requests from multiple transports concurrently. NetKernel makes it easy to utilize SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, HTTP, JMS, Email, and Cron.
Extreme performance from intra-application caching
- NetKernels fine-grained dependency cache transparently and opportunistically caches the results of all micro-service requests. NetKernel processes are self-optimizing with guaranteed minimal processing required for a given transaction.
Team Player
- NetKernel has several deployment options that allow it to play well with other technologies and systems. Deploy NetKernel as an advanced standalone application server, as an embedded "co-processor" within existing J2EE applications, as a JMS message processor, as a SOAP client or server, or as an embedded component within any application.
Enhancements:
- New features include support for Berkeley DBXML and PiNKY, a community developed module providing Yahoo! Pipes features.
- Updates include Groovy language support at release 1.0, Ruby (JRuby) support at 0.9.9, and XML library updates.
- There are also documentation updates and UI refinements.

Jiplet is short for Java SIP Servlet. Jiplet Container project is an open-source container for server-side SIP applications. An application developer can create a SIP application written in Java using the Jiplet API and deploy the application in the container.
The container provides a number of framework services including support for SIP message parsing and formatting, scoped variables, authentication and authroization, thread-pooling, logging, custom class loading, management interface, etc. It enables application developer to create server-side SIP applications using a component-based model similar to that envisioned by the J2EE architecture.
In fact, it fits very well with the J2EE paradigm for software development and deployment. The jiplet container software can either be run as a standalone Java application or deployed as a service residing in a J2EE server. When running as a J2EE service, the jiplet container can access many of the features offered by the J2EE server.
In addition, The jiplet container is built with the service provider model in mind. In this model, a service provider can host customized SIP applications from their customers in a secure manner similar to the servlet hosting offered by many service providers.
The jiplet container is very similar to a Java HTTP servlet container in concept. A Java HTTP servlet is a Java class that handles HTTP messages from web browsers. Similarly, a jiplet is a Java class that handles SIP messages from SIP user agents (SIP phones and SIP servers).
A servlet container like Apache Tomcat can host one or more web applications (contexts), each consisting of one or more servlets. Similarly, the jiplet container can host one or more SIP applications (contexts) consisting of one or more jiplets.
Similar to the servlet API authored by Sun Microsystems, the jiplet container provides a set of Java classes that jiplet applications extend or use. The services provided by these classes are very similar to those of the servlet API including scoped variables, request forwarding from one jiplet to another, etc.
As in a servlet container, new jiplet applications, or contexts, can be deployed using a zipped file called spr (war is the Java servlet terminology). Since there are differences between the HTTP and SIP protocols, the servlet and the jiplet containers have some notable differences.
However, the jiplet is not a formal specification like the servlet specification. It is also not an implementation of the SIP servlet specification (JSR 116) authored by Sun and its community of users. There are many similarities between the jiplet and the SIP servlet in terms of features. If you are familiar with SIP servlets, you will feel right at home with the jiplet container.
We are planning to continue developing the jiplet container based on feedback provided by that the open-source community. We are hoping that open-source developers will extend this tool and the specification instead of a committee.
Main features:
- Open-source API for developing server-side SIP applications. Based on the JAIN-SIP API.
- Offers component-based development model.
- Servlet-like development and runtime environment.
- Access to powerful JAIN-API from SIP applications.
- JMX management interface for interfacing with management systems.
- Web-based user interface for managing jiplet applications.
- Support for scoped variables including application, session, request, transaction and dialog-scoped variables.
- Support for forwarding SIP messages from one jiplet to another.
- Container-managed authentication and authorization.
- Support for application timers.
- Can run as a standalone application or it can be integrated with JBOSS as a J2EE service.
- Comprehensive support for the service-provider model.
Enhancements:
- The final release (version 1.2) of the NIST SIP stack Reference Implementation has been incorporated into the Jiplet Container and reference applications.
- The new listening point architecture has been integrated into the Jiplet Container SIP connector.
- One connector can now use more than one IP address for SIP messaging.
- Convenience methods have been added to the Jiplet class for jiplet developers to handle additional listening points and SIP providers.
- The Jiplet Container message proxying has been updated to work in a multi-homed environment.
- The software has been tested with Jboss 4.0.5.GA.

Khalkhi applet for Kicker is an applet for direct access to your addressbook entries! Place buttons for single entries, for lists by category or for the whole list of entries in your addressbook onto a Kicker panel.
See the status in the several systems a person has an account in, by the symbol on the button! Do a lot of things, like surfing to her homepage, starting an email or a chat by a click on the button! Or drop the list button of all your school friends a file/url to send it to them!
By the right mouse button menu you can add and remove the buttons, configure them and the whole applet, or start the KAddressBook.
The applet is based upon the Khalkhi framework, thus endlessly extendable by plugins. You need to first install the framework:

gospy-applet is a GNOME 2 applet to monitor changes on remote servers. You can add a illimited number of sources to monitor.

gospy-applet is possible to detect changes in HTTP header fields, IP associated with domain name, page content, page status, page load time and so on.

Music Applet is a small, simple GNOME panel applet that lets you control Rhythmboxs playback from a panel.
Advantages that this applet has over using the icon Rhythmbox puts in the notification area include:
- One-click access to the main operations needed during playback, without needing to use a context menu.
- Display of the current playing time without requiring a mouse-over.
- Display of the current songs album in the song information.
Music Applet currently supports the following music players:
- Banshee
- Rhythmbox
Music Applet is the successor to Rhythmbox Applet.

This is a very simple applet that provides a way of notifying you that a particular time has arrived. It allows you to display a dialog box with a message in it, execute a command, play a sound file or make the applet flash on and off at a particular time of day.
This all came about because on numerous occasions there has been something that i needed to be doing, but was late for because i had become engrossed in programming something or other. Well, here is a little panel applet that should hopefully help.
Version restrictions:
The sound file that is used for sound alarms can be changed on the fly and the next sound alarm will use the new file. This may or may not cause a memory leak if you change the file a lot, so be careful for the moment.
The volume control doesnt work yet, so youll have to change that manually using a mixer program.
I have only tested this applet myself, so there are probably bugs that i havent found yet, or better ways of doing things.
If you compile the applet withou sound support, the option to have a sound alarm is still available, although it doesnt actually do anything. I could sort this out by putting loads of #ifdefs all over the place, but i happen to agree that it makes for ugly code which is difficult to maintain.
Enhancements:
- Added patches from Bruno Pires Marinho that fixed a few things and changed a few things for the better.
- NB. This will probably be the last release that contains bug fixes/features that have been contributed by myself. If i find any horrendous bugs then ill fix them, but if you want anything added from now on, then youll have to do it yourself and send me a patch.
Any new releases of the current code after this will be based on this new system of code modifcation and delegation.
