Lecture 2 - Applets September 14, 2006 Note: during the lecture we discussed also the state problem, cookies (see slides of lecture 1)and URL rewriting. Assignment: On the Apache web server that you were requested to download and install in lecture 1, put a page containing a simple applet. Experiment with package names, making sure that your server is able to deliver the applet.
Suggested reading: The Applet tutorial on the Java Sun site
Video: If you want, you can download a zipped video (it's 150 MB!)- Actually, it was a similar lecture that was given by me two years ago - the first part of it contains a descripton of applets that's nearly equivalent to the one I gave for this course. To use it you need to have Quicktime and java (JRE or JDK 1.4 or newer) installed on your machine. You have to unzip the downloaded file, open the folder and click on index.html. You must also download and unzip a piece that is common to all lectures. |
