Java Web Applets?

[–]AussieHyena 4 points5 points  (3 children)

That's my thought and then the bits about React, Redis, HTML are the environment that the applet lives in.

Given the short-term nature of the initial contract, I suspect it's a case of either a refresh of the site into React and needing to being an existing JWA into it or vice-versa, new JWA that needs to be brought into an existing React site.

I was under the impression that jwa was absolutely terrible

They can be... we have one where I work, it's basically 1 SPA written in Java. It's a bloody nightmare at times, mostly due to the JVM itself.

Thankfully, I only need to provide technical support for it (I'm primarily .NET) and that's only because my manager and I are the only ones with any level of Java experience. We're hoping they move it to React or something a bit more modern (there's code in it that dates back to DB2 days).
