Is there a way to determine in what manner an FactoryPMI application has been launched? Specifically, I want to determine if the application is running as an applet or not.

That would make a good value under fpmi.system. getProperty or getSessionInfo. I bet there’s a way to detect it with Java code via Jython - Carl?

Good call - we’ll put that in for 3.1.6.

FYI - this was done as part of the new fpmi.system.getSystemFlags() call. Look for it in 3.1.6
