public class ApplicationApplet

extends Applet

implements Runnable

This applet lets any command-line application that uses a specially-enhanced main() routine automatically run in a web browser or appletviewer. Here's an example:

The applet takes two parameters:

CLASS

The name of the class to run - your Application's name.

ARGS

The arguments to pass to the Application.

For details on how to adapt your application so that it can be run by ApplicationApplet,

See Also:

Application

ApplicationApplet()

getAppletInfo()

Applet info.

getArgs()

Get the ARGS parameter and parse it into an array of Strings.

getParameterInfo()

Parameter info.

init()

Called when the applet is first created.

main(String[])

Main program, so we can run as an application too.

run()

This is the part of Runnable that we implement - the routine that gets called when the thread is started.

start()

Called when the applet should start itself.

stop()

Called when the applet should stop itself.

 public ApplicationApplet()

 public String getAppletInfo()

Applet info.

Overrides:

getAppletInfo in class Applet

 public String[][] getParameterInfo()

Parameter info.

Overrides:

getParameterInfo in class Applet

 public void init()

Called when the applet is first created. This could be overridden by a subclass to define what application to run and what args to give it. This default version gets the application name and args list from the parameters. A sample overriding version:

 public void init()
     {
     app = new MyApp();   // make an instance of this application
     getArgs();           // get args from the applet parameters
     }
 

Pretty simple.

Overrides:

init in class Applet

 public void getArgs()

Get the ARGS parameter and parse it into an array of Strings.

 public void start()

Called when the applet should start itself.

Overrides:

start in class Applet

 public void stop()

Called when the applet should stop itself.

Overrides:

stop in class Applet

 public void run()

This is the part of Runnable that we implement - the routine that gets called when the thread is started.

 public static void main(String args[])

Main program, so we can run as an application too.
