body: <p>Is there a way to run a Java Applet in node.js, at server side?</p>
  
  <p>It may sound crazy, but I am looking for a way to run a third party java applet on my node.js app server.</p>
  
  <p>It is used to do a weird calculation that I am not willing to migrate to JavaScript code. Is this possible in any way? Any suggestions? I am in need to send the result of this calculation as a web page to the user, based on a request param.</p>
  
  <p>I was initially thinking of how can I communicate between node.js and an Java Applet running standalone. Googled a bit but no success at all. Can someone suggest how to better google for it or point some good resources???</p>
