Executing an applet in a previous version than the one it was compiled for.
What happens if an applet was compiled by a version of JDK, and the client visiting the web page which contains the applet has a previous version of JRE? Actually, the applet was compiled with JDK 1.5-beta2, and clients have JRE 1.4 or maybe previous versions.

If it does not use APIs only available on jdk1.5 then it would probably run. You might also get a bad magic number error.
It'll probably break, but i'm not 100% certain. Why not try it? ;-)

I agree with Webstorm
I'd guess that pulpul is fully aware of that, and s/he says:
>>and clients have JRE 1.4 or maybe previous versions.
What proportions are we're talking about in the above pulpul?

CEHJ not many PCs, just a LAN... about 20.
My solution also work for LAN.
If you applet requires a greater version of jre than is installed then they will need to upgrade.
Do you know what version your applet actually requires?
>>14. clients will run fine of course as long as you don't use any 1.5 features.
>>or you compile using the -target option to specify the minimum jdk version you need it to run on.
Those two suggestions seem to be rather contradictory. The second one is the one you should probably pay attention to

Not at all (though your selective quoting is misleading), suggest you read the question a bit more closely.
pulupul,
Let me know if you have any questions.
