Loading applet

[Sarada Bhasker]

How can I load one applet from another?

Hi

Try it this way. It works !

 import java.applet.*;
 import java.awt.*;
 import java.awt.event.*;
 import java.net.*;

 public class First extends Applet implements ActionListener{
   Button b1;
   TextField tf1,tf2;
   URL u;
   AppletContext ac;
   public void start() {
      b1=new Button("click");
          add(b1);    
  b1.addActionListener(this);
          ac=getAppletContext();
   }
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
        try {
                u=new URL(getCodeBase()+"Apptalk.html");
ac.showDocument(u);                      
            }catch(Exception mee) {mee.printStackTrace();}
}
}  

I am executing this Applet from an HTML document.
I have used IE5 & JDK 1.2.

Thanks Suneel. I as trying to get a solution for this for quite a long time. Thanks a lot for your reply.

Now one more doubt. How can I pass a parameter to the loaded applet? Please answer this question. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sarada
If you are talking about passing a parameter to an
applet you can pass the parameter in the applet tag.
Eg:

    <applet code="test.class" width=100 height=100>
    <param name=empName value=somename>
    <param name=grade value=3>
    <param name=statusConfirmed value=true>
    </applet>
    

And you can retrieve the parameters using getParameter();

No Suneel, the parameter value will be decided in the first applet and passed to the second. How can I do that?

Hi Sarada
Applet to Applet Communication ?
Try this :

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*; 
public class First extends Applet implements ActionListener{   
    Button b1;   TextField tf;   
    AppletContext ac;   
    Second sec;
    public void start() {
         b1=new Button("click"); 
         tf=new TextField(10);
         add(tf);add(b1);
         b1.addActionListener(this);    
         ac=getAppletContext();      
         sec=(Second)ac.getApplet("Second"); //applet context of
  }                                          // of the second   
                                             // Applet
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {        
         String s=tf.getText(); 
         sec.tf.setText(s);
  }
}

Write a similar Applet called Second and type some thing in
the first applet's text field and press the button. It will
be visible on the second.
If you are integrating the applet loading and transfer of
information combine them.
I hope this helps ..... Do get back to me
