There are three steps to getting RASCAL 0.5B integrated on a webpage:

1. Add the rascal.jar applet to your page:

<APPLET name="rascal" ARCHIVE="rascal.jar,jvftplib.jar" CODE=org.fluidproject.vulab.rascal.ScreencastApplet.class
WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=100></APPLET>

Ensure that all jars are digitally signed so that they have filesystem access.

2. To obtain the sessionid from rascal after the recording occurs, you can use the following javascript: document.rascal.getSessionid();

3. The resulting code will be available at the following URL:
http://files.rascal.xymbo.com/<sessionid>.avi where <sessionid> is the sessionid retrieved in step 2 (above).

NB: The backend process to convert the upload into an avi movie runs every 30 minutes on the hour.  This can be tuned on the server-side.
