Preparing an Applet

• The applet should be run through javac compiler getting a .class file as before:  javac MyApplet.java

• The resulting file MyApplet.class is then stored in the document collection of a web server (hence has a URL location).

• Also create an HTML file (say MyApplet.html) with an applet tag to MyApplet.class.

  • <APPLET codebase=“http://myserver.org/mydirectory” code = “MyApplet.class” width=300 height=100>

• When the browser loads the .html file, it will also download the .class file and invoke the java interpreter to run the init, start, and paint methods.
