The JApplet Class The applet class is an awt class and is not designed to work with Swing components. To use Swing components in Java applets, it is necessary to create a Java applet that extends javax. swing JApplet, which is a subclass of java applet applet. JApplet inherits all the methods from the applet class. In addition, it provides support for laying out Swing components Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Sixth Edition, (c)2005 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. 0-13-148952-6

The Applet Class, cont Applets are created, run, and destroyed by web browser Dont set size for an applet: determined by html file Dont set title for an applet: applets cannot have title bars Can have menus No need to explicitly construct an applet. Construction code placed inside the init method There is no main method An applet cannot be closed. It terminates automatically when the browser No need to call method show An applet is displayed automatically Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Sixth Edition, (c)2005 Pearson Education, Inc.

Applets are created, run, and destroyed by web browser – Don’t set size for an applet: determined by HTML file. – Don’t set title for an applet: applets cannot have title bars. Can have menus. – No need to explicitly construct an applet. Construction code placed inside the init method. – There is no main method. – An applet cannot be closed. It terminates automatically when the browser exit. – No need to call method show. An applet is displayed automatically
The Applet Class, cont When the applet is loaded, the Web browser creates an instance of the applet by invoking the applets no-arg constructor The browser uses the init, start stop, and destroy methods to control the applet. By default. these methods do nothing. To perform specific functions, they need to be modified in the user's applet so that the browser can call your code pI roper Liang, Introduction to Java Programming, Sixth Edition, (c)2005 Pearson Education, Inc.

When the applet is loaded, the Web browser creates an instance of the applet by invoking the applet’s no-arg constructor. The browser uses the init, start, stop, and destroy methods to control the applet. By default, these methods do nothing. To perform specific functions, they need to be modified in the user's applet so that the browser can call your code properly
