Java web start on iPad

Question

Can I run Java applications (Java Web Start) on iPad?

Looks like this is not possible, but someone suggested using Cloud Browse (an application I couldn't' find) to run Java.

Any solutions?

UPDATE: Cloud Browser is an application that was available on the App Store but it was removed my Apple. Cloud Browse would process the web site externally and then stream the web site content to your iPad screen (something like video streaming).

Solution 1

No, you cannot run Java programs on the iPad (or any iOS device). Apple's license terms forbid running applications that can execute code downloaded from the Internet (which is what Java Web Start is all about).

Solution 2

No, as staffan said, Webstart will not work. However using CloudBrowse, an applet can work. It looks like the idea behind Cloud Browse is that the browser gets rendered on the server and video of the web page get streamed to your phone. This way, it appears to the user that applets or flash are running on the ipad.
