Java+Flash create chatroom

programming
1

hi everyone
I want to use Flash 8+Java to create a chatroom, but I don’t know how to use Java(NEVER use it before)
what version of Java should I download? How do I use it?
Do I need special thing(like support for ASP, etc) to run Java code on a webpage?

thanks!

You need support for Java on the server (JSP or servlets). Java’s a whole language, you’ll need to learn it before using it.

already a reply? Cool!!!
can you tell me why should I download the “Java 2 Platform Development Kit”?
because yesterday I downloaded a Java file(*.Java), and I can open it with notepad

what???
you can certaintly open .java files with notepad…

the j2se sdk, is to compile .java and run the java byte code not to be userd as a text editor or ide

I actaully think that you can compile java code with notepad so it can be used as a java compiler, editor.

no, no you cannot

ok make java file in notepad
Then you run javac on the java file and it will give a you a class file
Then you use some good old jakarata or somethign to host it if its jsp, or html to run it on client side

IF you are interested in a langauge that makes code that doesn’t have to be compiled to bytecode try python
