Selecting the appropriate client

The types of Z and I Emulator for Web clients that you use depend on your computing environment and your personal preferences.

Web Start clients are stored locally and load faster (unless an updated version of the client is being downloaded from the Web server). You can use them equally well over network and dial-up connections. Web Start clients take up more local disk space , but on most machines this is not a problem.

The Web Start client allows users to run Z and I Emulator for Web sessions without a browser. Users start Z and I Emulator for Web sessions from the Java Web Start Application Manager. If a user closes the Z and I Emulator for Web desktop and there are active sessions running, the user is prompted to make sure he wants to close all sessions.

You can use Web Start in the same Z and I Emulator for Web environment.

To use the Web Start client, you need to use the Deployment Wizard to generate your HTML file.
