Online demo of XnView

(With SpawnApps plugin)

What are the main features of your technology?

• Plugin-less (Java-based)
• Omni-Browser (tested on IE 6/7/8/9, FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari)
• Native application is directly displayed in the webpage.
• Native application is streamed (files are streamed on demand or prefetched)
• Native application is also available offline (once fully cached)
• No source code modification (our gold master is your application’s binary files)
• Same performance (the full PC resources are available to the native app as if it was installed)
• No additional server requirements (any file or web hosting service is eligible)

Also for end-users:

• No administrator account required
• No extra Firewall setup

Is it multi-platform?

• We fully support all versions of Windows (XP and later). We also provide a light version for Linux and MacOS. But we do not plan to offer cross-platform support at the moment (for instance, cross-platform support means running a Windows game on a webpage loaded on Safari of MacOSX)

[…]

Who packages the target application and how is it done?

• We’ve developed a web application called the “Lab” which packages the candidate applications. We host the Lab and make it mainly available to intensive users of SpawnApps. We deal with application packaging for small and/or new customers.

On my first attempt, Firefox froze and had to be terminated.

Subsequent attempts yielded the same alert, but then displayed "Spawn Apps installer could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file."

Firefox 25.0.1
Win 8.1/64

Can you get the Notepad++ demo to run on your system, John?

• Notepad++: SpawnApps v2.4.0
• XnView: SpawnApps v2.4.1

Hi XnTriq

After reinstalling Java and rebooting Firefox a few times it finally worked.

Hi John (-:

I don't even get the applet placeholder (“A plugin is needed to display this content.”). I guess my Java security level settings are too strict |-:

Hello again XnTriq!

BTW, Notepad++ still doesn't display. It locks Firefox.

XnView works fine, though.

Sun's/Oracle's documentation for end users sucks

• Oracle
  • Java Help Center
    • Using Java
  • Java SE Documentation
    • Java Rich Internet Applications Development and Deployment » Java Control Panel
    • Java Deployment Guide » Java Control Panel
• CERT/CC Blog
  • Signed Java Applet Security: Worse than ActiveX?

This is Eve from SpawnApps support. Thanks for pointing this issue! Could you please help us to reproduce this behavior? I will contact you through a private message to ask you a few more hints.

What browser do you use? On which Windows flavor?
