Java Applet
Types Of Java Programs
 Java programs can be of two types:
 Applications
 Java applications are large programs that run by their own
 Stand-alone programs that run without the aid of a web
browser.
 Has relaxed security model since the user runs the program
locally.
 Applets
 Small applications that require the use of a Java enabled web
browser to run.
 Applets are great for creating dynamic and interactive web
applications
 Has enhanced security model since the user merely goes to a
web page and the applet runs itself.
Overview of Java Applets
 The term applet refers to a little application.
 In Java, an applet is a Java program that is embedded
within an HTML document and executed by a Web
browser.
 You create an applet by extending the class JApplet,
which is contained in the package javax.swing.
Java Applets Vs Java Application
 Unlike Java application programs, Java applets do not
have the method main.
 Instead, when a browser runs an applet, the methods init,
start, and paint are guaranteed to be invoked in sequence.
 Therefore, to develop an applet, all you have to do is
override one or all of the methods init, start, and paint.
 Of these three methods, the paint method has one
argument, which is a Graphics object.
 This allows you to use the class Graphics without actually
creating a Graphics object.
Cont…. Java Applets Vs Java Application
Creating Applet
 To create Applet, all you need to do is import the package
java.awt so that you can use various methods of the class
Graphics in the paint method.
 To do so, you need the following two import statements:

 Because you create an applet by extending the class


JApplet, a Java applet in skeleton form looks something
like this:
Example
 The following Java applet displays a welcome message:
