Generic JWAVE Applet
 
This section explains how you can get started almost immediately using JWAVE to publish PV‑WAVE graphics on a Web page. With the generic JWAVE applet provided by Rogue Wave, you can execute a JWAVE wrapper function on the server and display output from the server in a Web browser.
The generic JWAVE applet lets you do this with very little programming. All you need to write is the JWAVE wrapper function (in PV‑WAVE) and some simple HTML code. The generic applet takes care of the rest of the work, such as contacting the server, opening a connection to the server, and retrieving data and graphics from the server.
Later, you will see how you can use HTML forms and JavaScript to create a user interface for the generic applet. This interface can be used to modify the appearance of graphics returned from the server, to generate different types of plots, to send client data to the server, and many other possible functions.
