public interface AppletInitializer {

    

If passed to the appropriate variant of java.beans.Beans.instantiate
this method will be called in order to associate the newly instantiated
Applet (JavaBean) with its AppletContext, AppletStub, and Container.


Conformant implementations shall:

 Associate the newly instantiated Applet with the appropriate
AppletContext.
 Instantiate an AppletStub() and associate that AppletStub with
the Applet via an invocation of setStub().
 If BeanContext parameter is null, then it shall associate the
Applet with its appropriate Container by adding that Applet to its
Container via an invocation of add(). If the BeanContext parameter is
non-null, then it is the responsibility of the BeanContext to associate
the Applet with its Container during the subsequent invocation of its
addChildren() method.

Params:
newAppletBean –  The newly instantiated JavaBean
bCtxt –          The BeanContext intended for this Applet, or
                      null./**
