We re designing an application and the client has requested that a portion of their app stay in Java Web Start and another portion be in a browser. I m thinking about AIR as an alternative to the browser because that may give us more features b/c we don t have to stay in the browser security sandbox.
How would I go about having an Air app talk to a Java Web Start app? Do they have to talk through a server? I guess potentially you can just create a socket connection between the two.
