Java Applets are platform-independent web applications that run within browsers and were significant in the evolution of web-based applications. They operate through a defined lifecycle and utilize a sandbox security model to restrict system access. However, their decline is attributed to reduced browser support and the rise of alternatives like HTML5 and JavaScript frameworks.

• public void paint(Graphics g) {
• g.drawString("Hello, Applet!", 20, 20);
• }
• }
Compiling and Running Applets
• Steps:
• 1. Compile: javac MyApplet.java
• 2. View: Use appletviewer or embed in HTML
and open in a browser
Security in Applets
• • Sandboxing mechanism
• • Restricted access to system resources
• • Prevents malicious activities
Advantages of Java Applets

• • Easy to integrate with web pages
• • Dynamic and interactive content
Limitations of Java Applets
• • Dependency on browser support
• • Performance issues
• • Security restrictions
Decline of Java Applets
• • Reduced browser support (e.g., removal in
modern browsers)
• • Rise of alternatives like JavaScript, HTML5,
and CSS
Alternatives to Applets
• • HTML5 Canvas and WebGL
• • JavaFX for rich internet applications
• • JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular)
