Java Applet
What is a Java applet? A Java applet is a small application which is written in Java and delivered to users in the form of bytecode. The user launches the Java applet from a web page, and the applet is then executed within a Java Virtual Machine ( JVM ) in a process separate from the web browser itself. What is the difference between application and applet? An applet is a program written in the Java programming language that can be included in an HTML page, much in the same way an image is included. An application is a standalone Java program that runs as a true application , outside of a browser. Both require a JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Advantage of Applet There are many advantages of applet. They are as follows: It works at client side so less response time. Secured It can be executed by browsers running under many platforms, including Linux, Windows, Mac OS etc. Drawback of Applet Plugin is required at client browser t
