Applet必须运行于某个特定的“容器”,这个容器可以是浏览器本身,也可以是通过各种插件,或者包括支持Applet的移动设备在内的其他各种程序来运行。与一般的Java应用程序不同,Applet不是通过main方法来运行的(参见Java的Hello World程序和Java Applet的Hello World程序)。在运行时Applet通常会与用户进行互动,显示动态的画面,并且还会遵循严格的安全检查,阻止潜在的不安全因素(例如根据安全策略,限制Applet对客户端文件系统的访问)。
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
// Applet code for the "Hello, world!" example.
// This should be saved in a file named as "HelloWorld.java".
public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
// This method is mandatory, but can be empty (i.e., have no actual code).
public void init() { }
// This method is mandatory, but can be empty.(i.e.,have no actual code).
public void stop() { }
// Print a message on the screen (x=20, y=10).
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello, world!", 20,10);
// Draws a circle on the screen (x=40, y=30).
g.drawArc(40,30,20,20,0,360);
}
}
