Java video

Is there a way a web page can read clients cam and start streaming.
If this can be done, can you suggest me the java technologies that needs to be used.

thanks

From a web page? If there's a way to do it (I really have no idea) it'd have to be an applet; and probably a signed one. Technologies such as servlets and JSP run on the server and have no access to the client machine or its peripherals.

Or you might consider a desktop application that can be loaded via Java Web Start.

Like Gmail a web application, is providing video chat on web. (it's not providing on th desktop client chat)
I was thinking of doing it the same way..

Any suggestions, please.

tnx
