GateKeeper is a web server, i.e., GateKeeper can load all resource needed by a Java Applet. But GateKeeper is not a high performance and scalable web server. In fact, it is never a goal to develop GateKeeper as a web server to replace current commercial web server. So the correct way to use Gatekeeper for Java Applet is to use commercial web server to start Applet and use Gatekeeper only for HTTP tunneled IIOP request. In order to do so, Gatekeeper needs to run the same host of web server and its stringified IOR should be publishable by web server. In case Applet needs to do “bind”, GateKeeper can do binding for the Applet. All Applet needs to do is specify vbroker.locator.ior=http://host:port/gatekeeper.ior. GateKeeper supports the following HTTP proxy servers, MS Proxy Server 2.0, Netscape Proxy Server 3.5, and WinGate Proxy Server 3.0.5. GateKeeper supports the following web browser, Netscape Communicator 4.6 and Internet Explore 5.0. GateKeeper also supports JavaPlugin 1.1 and 1.2.
