History

New in ColdFusion MX: Using this tag within a cfform tag is optional. If you use it within cfform, and the method attribute is defined in the Administrator, the return value of the applet's method is incorporated into the form.

 
Usage

You can specify the applet method attribute only in the Administrator, Java Applets view. For other attributes, you can accept the default values in the Administrator view, or specify values in this tag and override the defaults.

If Java applet components are stored in a JAR file, enter the file name in the ColdFusion Administrator, Java Applets window, Archive text box.
