Applet Beans

Applets are programs that can be downloaded and run by a Java-enabled web browser. These programs are generally small and specialized. An applet runs in a web page on a client system, within bounds specified by the page markup. A Java applet operates within constraints that provide security from remote system intrusion.

VisualAge provides applet beans from Swing and AWT packages. A basic applet bean from the Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) is provided in the Java class libraries project, in the java.applet package. An enhanced applet bean from the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) library is provided in the JFC class libraries project, in the com.sun.java.swing package. Although Swing and AWT beans can be mixed, it is inadvisable.

The following beans provide applets:
