So, you have a vncserver running and a vncviewer to view it. Hence no problems at both ends. Have you tried to point your webbrowser to http://vncserver:5802/ ? Did you get a view? If not, then you might need to enable (and configure) the webserver inside the vncserver. see `Xvnc --help` for a list of commands, its the http ones you need to set properly. > > What's wrong ? It might be java security. By default on some systems, java applets can only connect to machines form which they came themselve. Hence try the webserver aproach above. > > > 2) Is it possible to incorporate the Java VNC classes into a > Java application ? If you are a java developer, you should know.

That depends on a lot of stuff. If you don't care, just go OpenSource. If you do care (commercially) get a laywer to find out how and why. > 3) Must I pay for that ? The lawyer needs to be payed.

The use of the rfb protocol is free (I think, check the website for details) and you can use the open source code as an example to write your own. If you don't want to publish under the OpenSource rights, then don't publish at all or avoid using copy-and-paste... > > > 3) Is it possible to remotely display the output of only one > ------------------------------------------------------------ > X11 or Java application (xclock as an example), instead > of all the desktop ? > (and not by means of: xterm -display snoopy:2 & which > shows and application INSIDE a desktop). No. However, that is server dependent. If you write a vncserver that does what you describe, then you can point any vncviewer to it to see it. See the origional vnc website, It has (had?) an example that shows a number in the vncviewer. Come to think of it, most unix driven vncservers are X11-servers and so displaying the entire desktop. The newest vncviewers have multi display capabilities (I've read, I'm not sure). If so, then it can (theoretically) be possible to create a vnc-window-manager (vncwm) that creates a vnc-session (rfb-stream) for every window. Be warned, this is rough thinking, by far not implemented jet.
