How to get hardware acceleration on 2d images in applets?

[C Wang]

I tried using VolatileImage but it wasn't accelerated (image.getCapabilities().isAccelerated() returned false)
I basically used it like this

public VolatileImage image;
public Constructor(){
image = gc.createCompatibleVolatileImage(width, height, Transparency.OPAQUE);
}

what else am i supposed to do to get it hardware accelerated?

I don't think that's applet-specific, so I moved the question to the general GUI forum.

Let's discuss this in this duplicate post.
