When an applet is first created, an applet stub is attached to it
using the applet's setStub method. This stub
serves as the interface between the applet and the browser
environment or applet viewer environment in which the application
is running.

public interface AppletStub {
    
Determines if the applet is active. An applet is active just
before its start method is called. It becomes
inactive just before its stop method is called.

Returns: true if the applet is active;
         false otherwise.

Gets the URL of the document in which the applet is embedded.
For example, suppose an applet is contained
within the document:

   http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html


The document base is:

   http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html



See Also:
Returns: the URL of the document that contains the applet.

Returns the value of the named parameter in the HTML tag. For
example, if an applet is specified as

<applet code="Clock" width=50 height=50>
<param name=Color value="blue">
</applet>




then a call to getParameter("Color") returns the
value "blue".

Params:
  • name –   a parameter name.
Returns: the value of the named parameter,
or null if not set.
