I'm trying to contribute to the Hijack "port of displayserver" thing by creating a java applet to display the empeg screen through the Hijack web server. I can't directly use the empegApplet from displayserver, because Frank somehow streamed the display out through the displayserver http server. The most recent solution I've seen to displaying the screen was to constantly refresh the frame containing the image. Kind of kludgey I thought. An iframe would be better, but then it's not cross-platform. Java seems still the best solution.

I've seen a couple of times references to the grabscreen call in the empeg protocol. How might one call this from an application running on the empeg? Hopefully with this information, I'll be able to make it work through a Java applet. Not that I know a ton about java applets, but I'm trying.

Any help appreciated.
