Hello Friends,

I would like to know if we can pass a data structure into an applet via the applet param tag from jsp.
I found a doc [at ]http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/appletsonly/paramQs.html#paramTypes] that says I can do it ... but need to confirm this beforehand.

If yes then are there any data structs that are not allowed in there?
Please advice.

Thanks
Karen

I believe that any parameter you pass to an applet will get passed in as a string. What you do with that string is up to you. You could use it as a string, use a built-in method to convert it to a number or date or have a parse routine to convert the string into something more complicated.

Applets can access files on server so you can also pass a filename to the applet if what you're trying to pass is difficult or inconvenient to embed in the html.
