HTML Tags to Install DUs
The HTML tags used to install DUs are similar to any applet script. The <APPLET> tag specifies the applet to run, and the <PARAM> tags supply additional information to Internet Explorer about the name and version of the DU that contains the Java classes needed to run the applet. There are three parameters associated with the <APPLET> tag:
- The useslibrary parameter specifies the friendly name of the DU. This name is registered with Internet Explorer and is used in conjunction with the DU's version number to indicate presence or absence of the contents of the DU in the Java Package Manager.
- The useslibrarycodebase parameter specifies a URL and cabinet file archive to download (in this example, the cabinet file is local), if the DU is not already present on the current system.
- The useslibraryversion parameter specifies the version number of the DU. This is used to update the Java Package Manager when new versions, or split DUs, are encountered.
For example:
<APPLET
code=com.ms.JPMBrowser.BrowserApplet
width=200
height=200>
<PARAM NAME=useslibrary VALUE="JPM Browser">
<PARAM NAME=useslibrarycodebase VALUE="jpm.cab">
<PARAM NAME=useslibraryversion VALUE="1,1,23,0">
</APPLET>
