Running and debugging applets with the Applet Viewer

Use the following commands to run and debug an applet with the Applet Viewer.

Tasks

• To run an applet with the Applet Viewer, enter the following command: appletviewer <name>.

  <name> is one of the following options:

  • The file name of an HTML file that calls an applet.
  • The URL of a Web page that calls an applet.

  For example, to start the Applet Viewer on an HTML file that calls an applet, type at a command prompt:

  appletviewer <demo>\GraphLayout\example1.html

  Where <demo> is replaced by the full path into which you unzipped the demo package.

  To start the Applet Viewer on a Web page, type at a command prompt:

  appletviewer http://mywebpage.com/demo/applets/MyApplet/example1.html

  The Applet Viewer does not recognize the charset option of the <META> tag. If the file that the Applet Viewer loads is not encoded as the system default, an I/O exception might occur. To avoid the exception, use the -encoding option when you run appletviewer. For example:

  appletviewer -encoding JISAutoDetect sample.html

• To debug an applet with the Applet Viewer, use the debug parameter with the appletviewer command.

  For example:

  >
  cd demo\applets\TicTacToe
  ..\..\..\bin\appletviewer -debug example1.html

  You can find documentation about how to debug applets using the Applet Viewer at the Oracle Web site: .http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/plugin/developer_guide/debugger.html
