    Thank you. Doing an initial look, it appears that I would need to build an applet, distribute it to every user, and that applet would provide the user interface and processing – correct?

    The other way to do it would be to send a message that invokes the Formativ portal and have the web server do all the work – no?

    This particular application is pretty much a one-shot enrollment / op-in process (and offered onesy-twosy at that). Distributing an applet to 2,200+ machines seems a little heavy for a one shot deal. I haven’t done any applets that deliver a message and pop up a dialog, so I expect that might surprise some of my users. Of course, redirecting them to the portal might surprise them too….
