How can I show a html (or a mhtml) file within an applet?

Is there a feasibility to show an external html file within an siebel applet? If yes, I need to know which class I have to take, which type of field, etc.

Displaying external Web content in a Siebel applet can be achieved through Symbolic URL's. This technique allows to display a Web page either as inline HTML, within an IFrame, or within an embedded Web browser control.

Runtime Business Service vs. Repository Business Service

Runtime business service is authored in the client while the repository business service is done in tools. The repository business service is compiled into the SRF file to be used. Each time the runtime business service is executed, the definition is retrieved from the database and compiled. To prevent the runtime business service to compile each time, the cache flag can be set. By doing so, the business service is compiled once and stays in the cache during the entire user session.   

Known Scripting performance issues

The following are some events which might contribute to slow performance if extensive coding is done:
- BusComp_PreGetFieldValue
- WebApplet_PreCanInvokeMethod

There two events are frequently fired. For PreGetFieldValue event, it is called every time the user interface is updated to repaint the fields and also be called in other internal uses. For
PreCanInvokeMethod event, this is frequently fired in response to user actions.
