Polling booth applet demo

This file demonstrates how to use the PollingBoothApplet client to enable web-based voting with browsers that support Java 1.2. For real use you would replace this text with what you want the voter to see above the voting applet

The actual applet is below. It is embedded in an HTML file with the following code:

<applet codebase="(codebase)"
        code="uk.ac.cam.cl.CST1b2001.juliet.guiclient.PollingBoothApplet"
	width="600" height="400">
  <param name="server-url" value="(rmi-url)">
</applet>

Where:

• (codebase) is an HTTP URL pointing to the base directory where the Java classes from the Juliet distribution are installed (usually the same as the CODEBASE environment variable used to invoke the server).
• (rmi-url) is the RMI URL and service name used to invoke the server.
• The width and height can be changed, but if they are two small the applet may be unusable.

The applet below points to a server running at RMI URL rmi://hammer.thor.cam.ac.uk/~ams70/java/classes/ams70-ElectionServer-test with the applet codebase at http://hammer.thor.cam.ac.uk/~ams70/java/classes/. If no server is running at that URL then it will not work (it should display an error message).

You could include additional text here, such as the election notices and contact details for the returning officer.

Note that because of applet security features, the applet must be served from a web server on the same machine that the election server is running on.
