Thread: Determine If Applet was lunched directly form localhost

At first i would like to apologize for my english.
I know tha every time when somebody is lunching an applet from a website it is dowloaded to klient pc and lunched on JVM. But can i determine if my applet was lunched directly from clients pc? I am talking about situation when client has downloaded my jar file (directly form the webpage) and he is lunching jar file directly from his pc (without my website).

I hope i describe my problem clear enought to be understandable.

Thank you very much for your time.

Your application could attempt to access the internet when launched from the jar. No guarantees the user will be connected, but you could choose to close the application or retry the connection again later etc. If and when the user allows the application to connect, you could then find out the downloaded jar was executed. If the user starts the application with web start, well it should be fairly easy to tell when that happens.

It was quite easy.
First I have used getCodeBase() method in my applet and then i have passed it to the php script located on server.
In that script i had compare passed codebase with the codebase on my server.
