Webcam capturing using Java Media Framework

I need to display the live web cam videos in web application web page. I selected Java Media Framework for this web cam capturing. As this needs to be run in the client side I thought of developing a sort of standalone application and embed that in the web page as an applet. Let me know whether this is a best practice to achieve my requirement or is there any other way to do this. The requirement is to show the web cam video in the web page.

Thank You
