After further research I discovered that a Jython Applet loaded from a remote server is unable to execute code entered by the user because of security restrictions. I am going to have to study this issue further. As for examples of how to use GUI widgets in the client, the 3D Applet demo I posted a little bit ago shows some of what I am thinking about. Perhaps the user wants a slider for changing the zoom level instead of a drawn rectangle. They could create a slider, hook it to the zoom object, and add the slider to the GUI with a few lines of code. Another applet I have been thinking about is a SAGE "dashboard" that would show in realtime all the objects a user has created in the current worksheet, all symbolic variables, the state of all executing cells, etc. The user could then add custom widgets and logic to this applet to suit their needs. Anyway, I think coming up with concrete examples will be easier after the communications mechanism between applets and the SAGE server has been determined.
