Local Daemon's main tasks:
  • maintaining two-way communication between user applications, applets and central server
  • launching local applications
  • passing messages between applications running on the same node
  • providing certain system level functionality not normally available to Java applets, such as file access or printing
The daemon is implemented as a plug-in to Web browsers.
  • The daemon is the only operating system dependent core part of TANGO.
