Developing applet client code

Applet clients are capable of communicating over the HTTP protocol and the RMI-IIOP protocol.

About this task

Unlike typical applets that reside on either Web servers or WebSphere® Application Servers and can only communicate using the HTTP protocol, applet clients are capable of communicating over the HTTP protocol and the RMI-IIOP protocol. This additional capability gives the applet direct access to enterprise beans.

Standard applets require the HTML <APPLET> tag to identify the applet to the browser. If you replace by <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags, make sure that you specify appropriate values for <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags, especially the <OBJECT classid and <EMBED type values.

In the code for your applet client, when you initialize an instance of the InitialContext class, you must set properties to specify the computer name, domain, and port, and to identify this program (the client) as an applet.
