java.applet Documentation Differences

This file contains all the changes in documentation in the package java.applet as colored differences. Deletions are shown like this, and additions are shown like this.
If no deletions or additions are shown in an entry, the HTML tags will be what has changed. The new HTML tags are shown in the differences. If no documentation existed, and then some was added in a later version, this change is noted in the appropriate class pages of differences, but the change is not shown on this page. Only changes in existing text are shown here. Similarly, documentation which was inherited from another class or interface is not shown here.
Note that an HTML error in the new documentation may cause the display of other documentation changes to be presented incorrectly. For instance, failure to close a <code> tag will cause all subsequent paragraphs to be displayed differently.

Class Applet

An applet is a small program that is intended not to be run on its own but rather to be embedded inside another application.

The Applet class must be the superclass of any applet that is to be embedded in a Web page or viewed by the Java Applet Viewer. The Applet class provides a standard interface between applets and their environment. @author Arthur van Hoff @author Chris Warth @version 1.66 0370 12/1503/0001 @since JDK1.0

Class Applet, String[][] getParameterInfo()

Returns information about the parameters thanthat are understood by this applet. An applet should override this method to return an array of Strings describing these parameters.

Each element of the array should be a set of three Strings containing the name the type and a description. For example:

 String pinfo[][] = { {"fps" "1-10" "frames per second"} {"repeat" "boolean" "repeat image loop"} {"imgs" "url" "images directory"} }; 

The implementation of this method provided by the Applet class returns null. @return an array describing the parameters this applet looks for.


Class AppletContext

This interface corresponds to an applet's environment: the document containing the applet and the other applets in the same document.

The methods in this interface can be used by an applet to obtain information about its environment. @author Arthur van Hoff @version 1.25 0227 12/0203/0001 @since JDK1.0


Class AppletStub

When an applet is first created an applet stub is attached to it using the applet's setStub method. This stub serves as the interface between the applet and the browser environment or applet viewer environment in which the application is running. @author Arthur van Hoff @version 1.21 0222 12/0203/0001 @see java.applet.Applet#setStub(java.applet.AppletStub) @since JDK1.0

Class AudioClip

The AudioClip interface is a simple abstraction for playing a sound clip. Multiple AudioClip items can be playing at the same time and the resulting sound is mixed together to produce a composite. @author Arthur van Hoff @version 1.15 0216 12/0203/0001 @since JDK1.0
