Well, that's the point: there are corporate/enterprise applications written in various scripting languages that you simply have to use if you are that corporation's employee. Whitelisting sites is good; being able to restrict the plugin's access is better. AJAXed applications are becoming the norm, not the exception, and I have seen (and evaluated) applications where the client was in Air, or Flash (that had to have a particular Flash plugin, and the non-Adobe solutions weren't acceptable), or had fillable PDF's, and other interesting things along those lines. And the number of Java applications that require the Oracle 1.6 JRE are numerous; many won't work with OpenJDK. So you have to have an Oracle JRE. And, yes, those can be a challenge to integrate properly (SELinux or no SELinux). Scalix, for instance, is primarily written in Java (so is OpenXchange, for that matter), but at least it bundles a tested JRE and plays nice with the SELinux targeted policy. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
