Abstract
A number of Web Browser based applications have
been developed to serve in the challenging environment
of the Bates storage-stretcher ring operation. Most of
them are accelerator physics applications that require
intensive data processing and analyzing efforts, with
moderate tasks of interfacing with the control system.
The basic idea of developing applications using a
commercial Web Browser is to truly realize object
orientated design and platform independence, thus making
development efforts more affordable. To implement this
concept, common graphic services and methods of
interfacing with control systems and various modelling
codes are the two essential pieces. As a start, a small
package of Java applet classes is developed to provide
basic graphic service, and Common Gateway Interface
(CGI) is used for interfacing the control system, etc., with
the Web server, as only light interfacing is required. For
more dynamic graphic user interface approaches, Java
servlets are used to replace CGI scripts and communicate
with applets. Two accelerator physics…
