    Default Detailed JApplet information

    So, is there any resource that gives in-depth knowledge of the JApplet API? I suppose I could just sort through it myself, but - taking a trip in a foreign land- I would at least appreciate a map and some intel on the natives. Also, I am curious is JSP essentially ran through an applet program on the browser?


    Thanks to all of you people that make this such an invaluable resource.

    We've already discussed a lot of this in your previous thread: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...tml#post149131

    JApplets and JSP are two completely different things. JSP is NOT run by an applet. It's run on a server. You seem pretty confused about the basics, so I suggest following the advice we gave you in the previous thread- check out some basic tutorials for html, then move on to server-side technology like JSP, and stop thinking that everything is an applet. Applets are dead anyway.

    There isn't really any such thing as a JApplet API. You can look at the API for the JApplet class, but it's really only a few methods.

    What is your end goal? What are you trying to do?

    check out some basic tutorials for html

    I guess this confuses me. I don't know what you want me to pick up from html? I understand it is pseudo code for the browser. I'd rather not get lost in the specifics of HTML, but what do you want me to learn from it?

    There isn't really any such thing as a JApplet API. You can look at the API for the JApplet class, but it's really only a few methods.

    Okay, can I see IE's (or chrome) java plug-ins then? I would like to know how these applets are ran beyond the life cycle methods. I just don't know where to look.

    JApplets and JSP are two completely different things. JSP is NOT run by an applet.

    Everywhere I look everyone say's JSP is a technology. What does that mean? Is it open source API, a scripting language for tomcat?

    Basically, the only thing that JSP does is output html. It's going to be hard to understand JSP if you don't know anything about html. It seems you're still confused about the difference between an applet and html, which is why I suggest starting with an html tutorial.

    Why do you think you need to know that? What applets are you talking about? What do you mean when you say "run beyond the life cycle methods"?

    An oversimplification is that JSP files create html for you. That way you can put logic (if statements, for loops, etc) into your webpage. That logic is run on the server and outputs html that the user sees. It has nothing to do with applets.

    Let me reassure you I understand what each is. Perhaps I am mistaken, HTML (as I said) is pseudo code for the browser, and an applet is a java plugin to utilize the JVM through the browser.

    Why do you think you need to know that? What applets are you talking about? What do you mean when you say "run beyond the life cycle methods"?

    I just meant I want to see the code that calls on the init() start() paint(Graphics) stop(), and destroy() methods. I want to know this because I learn better when everything is made available to me.

    Okay, fine a java programming is running switching HTML etcetera. But, what is JSP then, a collection of classes (API) for doing various tasks? Is it a scripting language that some other language recognizes? This all seems very convoluted, java is a computing language that communicates with the O/S or board to preform tasks. So, JSP can only be a few things; classes or api, a pseudo language interpreted by some other language, or perhaps some driver or JNI addon for server systems?

    And like I said in the previous thread, html is not pseudo code. An applet is not a plugin; it is run by a plugin.

    The source of the JDK is readily available. You can look through that if you're very curious. I'm not sure whether the actual browser plugins are open-source. Google is your friend there.

    Did you read the link I posted above? All of this is explained in the JSP tutorials.
