How to deploy swing application on web browser?

Question

I have a big swing application that I have developed. There are several classes that each creates its own JFrame while closing the previous one which called this class.

I wish to deploy this into a web browser and understand that I need to convert it to an applet. Do I have to add in code for creating applet in each of these classes? or is there some other way.

In my current situation each of the class creates a JFrame which has some buttons which on being clicked will close the current JFrame and instantiate a new class which creates another JFrame.

Could you please help me and advice me on how to resolve my problem?

Answer 1

I have just used below steps:

1. Download Webswing from http://webswing.org/
2. Upload your jar file
3. Add your application to webswing.config and use Java 8+
4. Start Webswing server and the added application swing window will appear in your browser at http://localhost:8080/ by default

Look into Java Web Start. This enables you to launch a Swing app from the web without changing a thing.
