Java Applets

The document discusses Java applets, which are programs written in Java that run in web browsers. It describes what applets are, their lifecycle which includes initialization, starting, running, stopping and destroying phases, and some key classes and methods. It also provides a sample applet code and discusses how applets have declined in usage over time due to security and dependency issues.

INTRODUCTION TO JAVA APPLETS
WHAT ARE APPLETS ?
• Java is a special type of program that is embedded in the web page to
generate dynamic content.
• It runs inside the browser and works at client side
• They were popular in the early days of the internet for creating
interactive web content.
• They are written in the Java programming language and are
embedded in an HTML page.
PACKAGE
• Applets are part of the java.applet package.
• They extend the java.applet.Applet class.
• Other relevant packages include java.awt for UI components
and java.net for networking functionalities.
LIFE CYCLE OF APPLET

• INITIALISATION – init()
• STARTING – start()
• RUNNING – paint()
• STOPPING – stop()
• DESTROYING – destroy()
• Initialization (init()):
The applet is initialized by calling the init() method.
Initialization includes setting up variables, loading resources, etc.

• Starting (start()):
After initialization, the applet enters the start phase.
The start() method is called, initiating the applet's execution.

• Running:
The applet is running and can respond to user interaction or perform
tasks.
• Stopping (stop()):
If the applet loses focus or the user navigates away from the page, the
stop() method is called.
Applet's execution pauses, but it remains in memory.

• Destroying (destroy()):
When the applet is no longer needed (e.g., the browser window is
closed), the destroy() method is called.
Resources are released, and the applet is terminated.
SAMPLE CODE
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
/* <applet code=“MyApplet” height =“50” width=“50”>
</applet> */
public class MyApplet extends Applet {

public void init() {


// Initialization tasks }

public void start() {


// Start tasks
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
// Drawing tasks
g.drawString("Hello, this is my Java Applet!", 20, 20);
}
public void stop() {
// Stop tasks
}
public void destroy() {
// Cleanup tasks
}
}
KEY POINTS
• Applets are embedded in HTML using the <applet> tag.
• They require a compatible browser with Java plugin support (though
this support has decreased over time due to security concerns).
• Java Applets have largely been replaced by other web technologies
like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS due to security vulnerabilities and
plugin dependency.
CONCLUSION
• Java Applets were once a significant technology for web interactivity.
• They belong to the java.applet package and follow a specific lifecycle.
• With the evolution of web technologies, their usage has declined in
favor of more modern and secure alternatives.
