JApplet (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)


javax.swing

Class JApplet

java.lang.Object extended by java.awt.Component extended by java.awt.Container extended by java.awt.Panel extended by java.applet.Applet extended by javax.swing.JApplet

All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible, RootPaneContainer


public class JApplet

extends Applet

implements Accessible, RootPaneContainer

An extended version of java.applet.Applet that adds support for the JFC/Swing component architecture. You can find task-oriented documentation about using JApplet in The Java Tutorial, in the section How to Make Applets.

The JApplet class is slightly incompatible withjava.applet.Applet. JApplet contains aJRootPane as its only child. The contentPane should be the parent of any children of the JApplet. As a convenience add and its variants, remove andsetLayout have been overridden to forward to thecontentPane as necessary. This means you can write:

   applet.add(child);

And the child will be added to the contentPane. The contentPane will always be non-null. Attempting to set it to null will cause theJApplet to throw an exception. The defaultcontentPane will have a BorderLayout manager set on it. Refer to RootPaneContainer for details on adding, removing and setting the LayoutManager of a JApplet.

Please see the JRootPane documentation for a complete description of the contentPane, glassPane, and layeredPane properties.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Constructor Detail

JApplet

public JApplet() throws HeadlessException

Creates a swing applet instance.

This constructor sets the component's locale property to the value returned by JComponent.getDefaultLocale.

Parameters:

g - the specified Graphics window
