We are currently using a
Java applet in our web application to connect the document scanner and then scan and upload documents to server. Since applet is not supported by modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) there is an need to migrate to some other method which is supported by these browsers. How we can migrate this applet to some other technology and then deploy it with Java Web Start. We have to remove the dependency on the Applet class and convert it completely to application's main class. Advantage is that users can launch a Java Web Start application independent of a Web browser. Kindly help.
PFA screenshot of the scanning or import module. This is the java applet.
There are four tabs, where
1. Select Scanner
Retrieves the list of scanner driver to be selected for scanning
2. Compression Setting
Will show the different compression setting can be done for scanning
3. Batch Setting
This is used to specify the default folder for scanning the documents(This can be ignored for now)
4. Viewer
- Image files can be imported and viewed
- Non Image can be inserted and only its type will be showed on the screen
- Documents can be scanned.
All the documents scanned or imported will be stored in the local batch and the same will be displayed as shown in the attachment. If the image imported is the tiff, then there will be another dropdown showing the number of pages in the multipage tiff. This is circled in the screenshot.
