Re: [canvas-developers] Interest Check in Standardized Deployment Methods

As in Java Web Application Archives? Doesn't that seem a bit heavy-weight? WAR files would have to be deployed as complete Java applications on a servlet-capable server. My concern is that this would destroy server portability, and I don't think it's a safe bet that most hosting services would be running a Java-based server.

In addition, the WAR format carries little information about the Javascript program itself. What are its dimensions? How can it be initialized? Is it possible to deploy it as a graphical widget on a page? (e.g. IFRAME in an application using the width and height meta data from a deployment standard.)

Thanks,
Jerason

Hi all!


As many of you probably noticed from my recent message, I've managed to complete a very sophisticated Javascript game recently. In addition, I've been porting several older DHTML games to work on modern systems and game consoles. One of the issues I've noticed is that there is no standard method of deploying Javascript games. (Or applications for that matter.)

I think we're on the same wavelength here. I was also thinking something along the lines of a JAR for Javascript. Here's the RFC I posted on the WiiCade forums...

it's a good idea, the task seems very simple now: get the ".jzip"(this ahven't anme yet, right?) file, upack it, read metaconfig and open the main document. ...

... That's basically it! The devil is in the details, of course. What exactly will the meta-config tell the platform? Do we open the main document in an IFrame...
