Applet client tag requirements

 

Standard applets require the HTML <APPLET> tag to identify the applet to the browser. The <APPLET> tag invokes the Java virtual machine (JVM) of the browser. It can also be replaced by <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags.

The following code example illustrates the applet code using the <APPLET> tag.

<APPLET code=”MyAppletClass.class” archive=”Applet.jar, EJB.jar” height="500" >
</APPLET>

The following code example illustrates the applet code using the <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags.

<OBJECT classid="clsid: 8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" width="600" height="500">
<PARAM NAME=CODE VALUE=MyAppletClass.class>
<PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE='Applet.jar, EJB.jar'>
<PARAM TYPE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.5.0">
<PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="cache-option" VALUE="Plugin">
<PARAM NAME="cache-archive" VALUE="Applet.jar, EJB.jar">
<COMMENT>
<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.5.0" CODE=MyAppletClass.class
ARCHIVE="Applet.jar, EJB.jar" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="500" scriptable="false">
<NOEMBED>
</COMMENT>
</NOEMBED>WebSphere Java Application/Applet Thin Client for Windows is required.
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

The classid and type values changed from WAS version 6.0.2 for version 6.1. Prior to version 6.1, the classid value was clsid:8AE2D840-EC04-11D4-AC77-006094334AA9 and the type value was application/x-websphere-client. In order to successfully invoke the applet client in WAS version 6.1, these values need to be changed to those in the preceding example.
