Hello,

I would like to profit that the newsgroup is up again to post an update of the
Java and Javascript
encapsulation of the Active world sdk.
I have now renamed the project AWJavaBots (instead of AWSDKJava).

AWJavaBots: Java and Javascript for Active World
http://www.insead.fr/CALT/Project/AWJavaBots/

One of the interesting aspect of this toolkit, is that it can run on a servlet,
and that the behaviour of the bots can be writen in javascript. (rhino
interpretor).
This provides a maximum of flexibility:
* the bot application can run on a kind of application server.
* the application is written with a combination of java and javascript.
(javascript providing the glue of the application, and allows you to change the
behaviour
of our bot as the application is running)


We can imagine the following architecture:


|| <==> aw browser <==> user1
|| <==> aw browser <==> user2
|| <==> ....
AW server <==> ||
|| <==> bots server || <==> web browser <==> user (config)
|| (java || <==> web browser <==> user (program)
|| & javascript) || (prog. in javascript)
|| || <==> application <==> BD, mail, ...
|| || <==> application <==> chatterbot
|| || <==> application <==> web agents
||
|| <==> bots server .....


AWJavaBots is free, open source, and very much under construction.
(I am for instance currently trying to integrate the OpenXML html/xml parser,
so that you can program easily bots that can easily retrieve information from
the web.).

If you have any suggestion, let me know.
