Non availability of java plugin for 64Bit IE

Hi all,

I have a java application which establishes a two way asynchronous communication with a web page (JSP) launched in IE by means of RMI communication and applets. I need to launch and communicate to multiple instances of IE.

The concept of RMI with applets works out well for me in a 32Bit environment.

But now I need to migrate my application framework to a AMD64Bit machine. I understand that 64Bit IE does not have java plugin and as such applets will not work in a 64Bit IE.

Is there any alternate solution to the non availability of java plugin in 64Bit IE?

Thanks In Advance
