Is the process by which one object acquires the

properties of another object. Polymorphism:

Is a feature that allows one interface to be used for a general class of actions.

APPLETS
84)What is an Applet? Should applets have constructors?

Ans : Applet is a dynamic and interactive program that runs inside a Web page

Constructors in Applets.

85) How can I arrange for different applets on a web page to

communicate with each other? Ans : Name your applets inside
the Applet tag and invoke AppletContext’s getApplet() method in
your applet code to obtain references to the other applets on the
page.

Ans : Ask the applet for its applet context and invoke showDocument() on that
context object.

String URLString
AppletContext context = getAppletContext();
try{

targetUR L = new URL(URLString);

} catch (Malformed
URLException e){ // Code
for recover from the
exception
}
context. showDocument (targetURL);
87)Can applets on different pages communicate with each other?

Ans : No. Not Directly. The applets will exchange the

information at one meeting place either on the local file
system or at remote system.
