SAMPLE: SSApplet.exe Connects to SourceSafe Through a Web Site Using Java (219405)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 6.0
  • Microsoft virtual machine
  • Microsoft Visual J++ 6.0
This article was previously published under Q219405

SUMMARY

SSApplet.exe is a sample that attaches to a Visual SourceSafe database and allows SourceSafe actions to occur through a Web site.

This sample was written using Visual J++ 6.0. It uses the Windows Foundation Classes for Java and contains the source code. It should be opened in and compiled from inside Visual J++.

In order for this sample to be used on a Web site, you must create a share called \\Werver\Wwwroot that is the root Web location. This share is used to display a list of files on the Web.

Security

COM components can get access to any system resources. As such, they are both very powerful and potentially very dangerous. In the Microsoft virtual machine for Java (Microsoft VM) provided in Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and later, only trusted class files can use COM components. Class files from digitally signed CAB files are trusted.

If the HTML file is run from Microsoft Developer Studio, the class files are also trusted. This can be very helpful during applet development. However, to deliver your applet to other users, you must put it in a signed CAB file.

Because this CAB file is run as an applet, the class file may be downloaded to your computer. There is a potential security threat in running downloaded software. To run a Java applet that uses COM components, the applet code must be trusted. For more information on CAB and Sign technology, look in the Cab&Sign folder on the Visual J++ CD-ROM. The Visual J++ CD-ROM also includes a sample called CabAndSign that gives step-by-step instructions on how to create CAB files and Test Certificates.
