What are applets?

Answer 1

An applet is an application designed to be transmitted over the internet and executed by a Java-compatible Web browser.

Applets are small applications that are accessed on an Internet server, transported over the Internet, automatically installed, and run as part of a Web document.

Applet has no main method.

Answer 2

A LOCAL applet is the one which is stored on our computer system.when browser try to access the applet, it is not necessary for our computer to be connected to The Internet.

Answer 3

applets are tiny applications on web sites like a flash game on addicting games application software is an application that is actually saved to your hard drive. unless you use a flash ripper on a applet then the applet is still counted as an applet

Answer 4

An spplet is small program typically embedded with in the web page which is used to create dynamic and interactive aplication. They provided interactive features to a web page which cannot be provided by HTML only. For example, applets enable capturing user inputs in the form of mouse clicks, text entry, check box selection, etc. and generating response to the user's actions.

Answer 5

Java is a programming language and a virtual machine that a java program can run in. The virtual machine allows the same Java application to run on many different types of computer, since the virtual machine remains identical.

A Java applet is a special type of Java application that is coded specially to run as a plug-in to a web browser.

Answer 6

An applet is a "small application," in the same manner as a piglet is a small pig, or a droplet is a small drop. Applets are meant to be run inside the context of a larger system, usually as a component that runs inside a web page. Applications, on the other hand, are typically run in their own window, in the context of the desktop. Normally, applets are restricted to the resources they are allowed to access, in comparison to applications. For example, applications can access files on the hard drive, while applets cannot do so without permission from the user. Similarly, Java applets can only contact a limited number of servers (as defined by the site's and/or applet's permissions), whereas applications can access any server allowed by the firewall or proxy. Finally, because of the different uses for each, applets have a different execution model than applications do; they do not have a "main" method, and they must inherit from a specific class in order to run, and also implement methods specific to the behavior of being an applet.

Answer 7

Applets are small web based code snippets that run on a Web browser (IE or Mozilla) they are usually small and do not contain a lot of functionality. They cannot run by themselves (standalone) and can run only using a web browser or an applet viewer.

Whereas, an application is standalone and can do all operations by itself. It is a combination of numerous java classes and objects.

Answer 8

The primary differences between the two will be the container for the application and permissions. A GUI application will have a main Component (such as a JFrame) as the top-level window. It will also have greater permissions than an Applet (such as accessing files on the local filesystem, and allowing resizing). It's also worth noting that Applets and GUI applications use events in a slightly different manner; Applets are set up using a certain framework that allow them to be controlled by the browser (e.g. using start() and stop() functions), while GUI applications will use native WindowEvents instead; these applications can still benefit from start() and stop() functions, but must handle this feature through WindowEventListener interfaces.

Answer 9

Applets are small java programs that can be run on our computer and transferred through Internet .They do not have main function.

Answer 10

Java applets can be downloaded from the Internet by a Java technology-enabled browser. Typically, java applets are embedded in a web page and can be run with the use of a browser.
