How to put java application on the web?

Question

I am writing a minesweeper program in Netbeans, with java. I would like my friends to be able to try it, preferably on from there own computer, over the web. I have already made a .jar file, but do not know if how to proceed, or even if this is possible. How would I put it on the web so they can try it out?

Answer 1

Why not just send them the jar file? Then, they can just run it on their computer.

To put the program in a webpage, you need to put it in an applet, which will require some extra work (and maybe some changes to your code).

Answer 2

You need JavaWS (Java Web start ) Check this link http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/syntax.html

Answer 3

One option is to write your game as an Applet.

See the standard tutorial or you can google for many others.
