    Java Applet Notes

    An applet is a Java program that runs within a web browser. It extends the Applet class and has full access to the Java API. Applets differ from standalone Java applications in that they do not define or invoke a main method, are embedded in HTML pages, and have security restrictions enforced by the browser. The lifecycle of an applet involves init(), start(), stop(), destroy(), and paint() methods. To create an applet, a Java file is written with these methods and embedded in an HTML file which is opened in a web browser or applet viewer. Parameters can be passed from the HTML to the applet using <PARAM> tags.

    Applet Programming

    An applet is a Java program that runs in a Web browser. An applet can be a fully functional
    Java application because it has the entire Java API at its disposal. There are certain differences
    between Applet and Java Standalone Application that are described below:

    1. An applet is a Java class that extends the java.applet.Applet class.


    2. A main() method is not invoked on an applet, and an applet class will not define main().
    3. Applets are designed to be embedded within an HTML page.
    4. When a user views an HTML page that contains an applet, the code for the applet is
    downloaded to the user's machine.
    5. A JVM is required to view an applet. The JVM can be either a plug-in of the Web
    browser or a separate runtime environment.
    6. The JVM on the user's machine creates an instance of the applet class and invokes
    various methods during the applet's lifetime.
    7. Applets have strict security rules that are enforced by the Web browser. The security of
    an applet is often referred to as sandbox security, comparing the applet to a child playing
    in a sandbox with various rules that must be followed.

    Life Cycle of Applet

    Different methods that are used in Applet Life Cycle:

    1. init() Method: This method is intended for whatever initialization is needed for your
    applet. It is called after the param tags inside the applet tag have been processed.
    2. start() method: This method is automatically called after the browser calls the init()
    method. It is also called whenever the user returns to the page containing the applet
    after having gone off to other pages.
    3. stop() method: This method is automatically called when the user moves off the page
    on which the applet sits. It can, therefore, be called repeatedly in the same applet.
    4. destroy() method: This method is only called when the browser shuts down normally.
    Because applets are meant to live on an HTML page, you should not normally leave
    resources behind after a user leaves the page that contains the applet.
    5. paint() method: Invoked immediately after the start() method, and also any time the
    applet needs to repaint itself in the browser. The paint() method is actually inherited
    from the java.awt.

    Simple Example to Create an Applet Program

    To create an Applet program follow the steps:


    1. Create a Java file containing Applet Code and Methods described above.
    2. Create a HTML file and embed the .Class File of the Java file created in the first step.
    3. Run Applet using either of the following methods
    o Open the HTML file in java enabled web browser
    o Use AppletViewer tool(used only for testing purpose)

    //Code of MyFirstApplet.java

    Output

    Method – 1: Open the HTML File in Java Enabled Web Browser


    Method – 2: Use Appletviewer Tool

    Passing Parameter to Applets

    <PARAM..> tag is used to pass the parameter value from HTML file to Applet code. In the
    example shown below parameter which is used is named as “name” and value of the parameter
    is initialized as “Achin Jain”. Now in the Applet code, you should use same parameter name
    as “name” to fetch the value.

    //Code of PARAM_Test.html
    Output
