3. Applet
Introduction
• Applications are stand alone programs
• Executed by Java Interpreter.
• Applet is small program
• Can be placed on web page.
• It will be executed by web browser.
• Provide web page interactive content with power of Java.
4. • An applet is a Panel that allows interaction with a Java program.
• A applet is typically embedded in a Web page and can be run from a browser.
• You need special HTML in the Web page to tell the browser about the applet.
• Applets run in a sandbox: they have no access to the client’s file system.
• You can run Applet in any browser.
• The best support isn't a browser, but the standalone program appletviewer.

Life Cycle of An Applet
• Applet Method
• public void init ()
• public void start ()
• public void stop ()
• public void destroy ()
• public void paint (Graphics g)
note: repaint(), update()
7. import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class WelcomeApplet extends Applet {
public void init() {
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Welcome to Java Programming!",
25, 25 );
}
}
<html>
<applet code = "WelcomeApplet.class"
width = "300" height = "45">
</applet>
</html>
8. Servlet
Introduction
• Server
• Servers are those machine which is responds the clients request.
• Servlets – Web-based solutions executes by Server
• Dynamically generate custom HTML documents
• Replacement to CGI
• Secure access to Website
• Interact with databases
• Servlet are as Applet but Server side
9. Servlet
How it works?
• Client sends a request to server
• Server starts a servlet
• Servlet computes a result for server and does not quit
• Server returns response to client
• Another client sends a request
• Server calls the servlet again
Server
Client
Client
Servlet
10. • A servlet is any class that implements the javax.servlet.Servlet
interface
• In practice, most servlets extend the javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet class
• Some servlets extend javax.servlet.GenericServlet instead
• Tomcat is the Servlet Engine than handles servlet requests for Apache
• It’s best to think of Tomcat as a “servlet container”
• Apache can handle many types of web services
• Apache can be installed without Tomcat
• Tomcat can be installed without Apache
11. Life cycle of Servlet
Initialization
(load resource)
Service
(accept requests)
Destruction
(unload resource)
• Initialize
• Service
• Destroy
Response
Request
12. • Initialize: init() method called once, when any request occur.
• Service: Any requests will be forwarded to the service() method
• doGet()
• doPost()
• doDelete()
• doOptions()
• doPut()
• doTrace()
• Destroy: called once
• destroy() method called when: Application is stopped or Servlet container shuts down
• Allows resources to be free
15. Applet vs Servlet
• Similarities
• Neither has a main()
• Both have init() and destroy()
• Both are part of a larger application made for the web
16. • Dissimilarity
• Applets run on the client (browser) while servlets run on the HTTP server
• Applets are having limited functionality to look at the local file system, establish
network connections, etc.
• Servlets are generally built to handle multiple clients at once, whereas applets
generally service one client at a time.
• Servlets handle HTTP request
• Applets used for static web pages, Servlet used for dynamic web pages.
Normal java program has main method on code.
Applet doesn't have main method.
Plateform independent
Secure
JApplet extends Applet Class
Init(): execute first, initialize variables, best place define buttons, textfields, layouts, slider, every applet have init method.
Start(): called after init, not always needed. Conjuction with strop().
Stop(): not always needed, called when browser leaves the page, called before destroy, conjuction with start().
Destroy(): Seldom needed, Called after stop( ), Use to explicitly release system resources (like threads), System resources are usually released automatically.
Paint(): almost always needed, don’t call its called automatically call instead repaint, any painting done here or call by here.
Repaint(): it’s a request that internally call update(Graphics g), any changes happened then call repaint.
Servlet communicate to Clients and Server through HTTP
About 50% and above websites uses Apache server
Apache is server, tomcat is container; apache uses tomcat as container both are free source
There is also other server available
