drag and drop images on applet from local file system

[Srikar Sarma]

Hi all,

I have a functionality in my web page where i need to drag and drop an image from my file system on to an applet and my web page should receive the file path of the dropped image.

Welcome to JavaRanch.

The Swing toolkit includes drag-n-drop, which can do that. The applet will need to be signed for this to work.

Hi,

Thanks for the sample codes link. How can I make the applets signed?

The HowCanAnAppletReadFilesOnTheLocalFileSystem page explains how to do that.
