[Lms-developers] APIAdapterApplet thoughts + RFC

[bryan h. <bry...@os...>]

The APIAdapterApplet gets the cookie that it uses to communicate back 
and forth with the servlet via javascript .... this has 2 problems 

1) It's ugly and un-necessary :: It would be easier to write the sessionid 
as a parameter to the applet ie

<applet name="APIAdapterApplet" 
name="asddsaf"
class="dsafd"
>
<param name="sessionid" value="98789089080980">
</applet>

That would allow us to reduce the length of our code by 
a couple of functions and a lot of lines. 

2) It makes debugging the applet a bit of a cnt ( as we say in 
Ireland ) as it relies on a cookie in its html page to do anything

If we substituted all that cookie crap for a simple parameter 
all the cookie reading code could be reduced to the following line .....

String sessionid = getParameter("sessionid"); 

Thoughts ? Comments ? Is there anything I'm missing here ?
