APPLET vs. EMBED or OBJECT tag in JDeveloper

HI Gentlemen,
Recently I learned from ADF Code Corner, Item 71, how to set up a client/server communication applet for an ADF application. The solution uses the JavaScript framework on the client. However, it is also stated that "Note that the APPLET tag is used instead of the EMBED or OBJECT tag that would be needed to explicitly invoke Java run by the Java PlugIn." This suggests that I can write a Java program independent of my ADF application which could control a local smartcard reader (this already works fine with German KVK and eGK). Now I would like to trigger this external Java program in my .jspx page to read the contents of a card and communicate it to the page. If this were possible, I could avoid JavaScript at all. It must be installed on the client to access a local smartcard reader. Please drop a few lines where can I find guidance or a working example if any.
Thanks, kind regards
Miklos HERBOLY

Hi,
if you want to talk to ADF Faces pages on the client side then this through JavaScript. The other alternative is to allow the Applet to perform a server side update (object or database) and then have the ADF Faces app checking for it (af:poll or Active Data Services).

Embedding SWF without embed or object tag?

Does anyone know a way of embedding a .swf file without using
the embed or object tag? Thanks.

Alright, I see what you're saying.
I just want to have my MySpace redirect to my website when
you go to it.
<script> and <meta> tags get replaces with
<..> for security reasons. So I do a redirect through AS.
Object tag doesn't work. If embed tag is posted then the
allowScriptAccess="never" script is added automaticaly.

Can anyone please help me. This is very Urgent for me.
Thanks & Regards,

thanks.
i am giving my problem clearly. i have one applet. Previously i am loading the applet in my html page using object tag like this...
<OBJECT

<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet">
<PARAM NAME= "cache_option" VALUE ="no">
</OBJECT>
now what i need to do is
i need load the applet only first time using web start and when ever the applet code changes in the server i need to reload the applet.
for that i kept all the applet resources in .jnlp file.i want to cache all the resources which are in .jnlp file and applet must be displayed within a web page within a browser.
Webstart always open a new application windows.
I need to run an Applet embedded within a web page within a browser.
Is there a way to still use Webstart?

Applet in Object tag IE8

Hi Ppl,
I have got a requirement where i need to invoke an applet from browser and should be working across all browsers. Since APPLET tag is deprecated since HTML4, i was trying to use OBJECT tag to embed it, and it works fine in FF and Chrome, but in IE8 it doesnt work.Any thoughts on how to make it work on IE8 and above?
The HTML file is something like below
<!doctype html>
<object
width="0px" height="0px" tabIndex="-1"

..Since APPLET tag is deprecated since HTML4, i was trying to use OBJECT tag to embed it, ..Don't. Instead use Oracle's deployJava.js to check for a minimum JRE, prompt the user to install it if missing, and launch the applet.
The HTML file is something like below2 points.

JDK 1.4.2_10; problem with applet/classpath/OBJECT tag

I'm supporting an applet that needs to run in JDK 1.4.2_10 in order to work. (I don't own the code, so I can't fix the issue)
I'd like to force that particular applet to run under JDK 1.4.2_10, but allow other applets to run on the current default JVM.
I'm trying to do this by using the JDK's htmlconverter.exe utility to force the use of JDK 1.4.2_10. That part is working as expected, but I'm experiencing a side effect.
The problem is that, when I use the OBJECT tag instead of the APPLET tag, the browser attempts to download the class with this URL
http://hostname.here.com/app.testing/app.testbed/classes/appls%2fDOLARS%2fuser%2fApplet%2fclass.class
instead of this URL
http://hostname.here.com/app.testing/app.testbed/classes/appls/DOLARS/user/Applet.class
The second URL works; the first does not. When I use the APPLET tag, it generates the second URL and downloads the class successfully.
I'd like to a) use the OBJECT tag. b) get it to use the correct URL to download the Applet.class file. What do I need to do to make this happen?
Thanks,
Tom Valesky

applet tag vs Object tag

As per W3Schools HTML applet tag is not supported in HTML5. Need to use <Object> tag instead of <applet> tag.
For more details follow this link: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_applet.asp
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/obsolete.html#the-applet-element
Point 11.2 Non-conforming features
So, I go ahead and the change the code as below depicted.
Below code that is working with <APPLET> tag:
+<Applet+
style    = "position:absolute;border:0px;left:184;top:95;height:180;width:364;"
code     = "jtreeviewapplet.JTreeViewAppletMain.class"
name     = "TreeView"
id       = "TreeView"
hspace   = "0"
vspace   = "0"
align    = "top"
archive = "/Project/HTML/ABC/XYZ.jar,/Project/HTML/ABC/ABC.jar"
MAYSCRIPT>
+<PARAM NAME="onSelected" VALUE="onSelect_Handler">+
+<PARAM NAME="onFinishNormalize" VALUE="onFinishNormalize_Handler">+
+</Applet>+
Here is the snippet, whcih have been changed to <OBJECT> tag so as to support HTML5 in future:
+<OBJECT type=" application/x-java-applet"+
style    = "position:absolute;border:0px;left:184;top:95;height:180;width:364;"
name     = "TreeView"
id       = "TreeView"
hspace   = "0"
vspace   = "0"
align    = "top"
+>+
+<PARAM name="code" value=”jtreeviewapplet.JTreeViewAppletMain.class”>+
+<PARAM name="codebase" value="/Project/HTML/ABC/">+
+<PARAM name="archive" value=" XYZ.jar">+
+<PARAM name="archive" value=" ABC.jar">+
+<PARAM name="scriptable" value="true">+
+<PARAM NAME="onSelected" VALUE="onSelect_Handler">+
+<PARAM NAME="onFinishNormalize" VALUE="onFinishNormalize_Handler">+
+</OBJECT>+
After changing the *<applet>* tag to *<object>* tag , my applet itself is not loading and it gives class not found exception for jtreeviewapplet.JTreeViewAppletMain.class.
(Note: For both working and not working condition, I am using latest JDK 1.7 update 9 for compiling the code and in my system I am having latest JRE1.7 update 9 to run the applet code. I am using InternetExplorer 8 and InternetExplorer 9 browser)
Can anybody help me to find out where I am going wrong?

You might want to stick to the documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/index.html
and use the deployment toolkit.
PS: use \ tags when posting anything code related. That makes it readable and it keeps the forum from trying to interpret it.

Applet registered through object tag doesn't work

Hi..
If i register an applet through <OBJECT> tag, the applet doesn't appear, but if registering through <applet> tag, it works.
what happens?
is there anybody can tell me why?

The html <object> codes used are below.
<OBJECT
classid = "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0004-ABCDEFFEDCBA"
codebase = "http://java.sun.com/update/1.4.2/jinstall-1_4_2_04-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,2,40"
WIDTH = 100 HEIGHT = 100 >
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = "MyApplet.class" >
<PARAM NAME = "type" VALUE = "application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_04">
<PARAM NAME = "scriptable" VALUE = "false">
<PARAM NAME = MAYSCRIPT VALUE = true >
</OBJECT>
and the parent html file that contain "<iframe> tag" portion is written as below
<iframe src=iframe_testApplet.htm name=AppletLoader frameborder="no" height=150 width=150 scrolling="no"></iframe>
and all the parent html file and the iframed-file and the class file is in the same directory. so i didn't specify the "codebase" attribute above. and moreover, when i put a code that specifies the codebase though, it doesn't still work.
the code specifying codebase is like this.
<PARAM NAME = CODEBASE VALUE=".">
I just want to let know that actually I solved above problem just before with some minor change. but I still want to know why it works at this time because there is not so much difference between before and after.
the change I did is
1. I rewrite all html code into jsp code
2. in the jsp code, I specify the codebase with "<%= request.getContextPath()%>/aPath"
But as you can see, the code base is the directory that contains all the files, parent html file, iframed file and a classFile, although I changed some minor codes, that cannot make it work if it doesn't work without the minor code-change because eventually it has same context from code viewpoints.
As of now, I just take it as just a JRE bug. Can anyone let me know why it happens?

Applet tag and Object tag.

Hi All,
My application is hanging which is using Applet.I have specied in IE settings to use Sun's JVM[plug in].Applet tag is now depricated they [W3c] recommend to use Object tag for IE.Is my problem somewhere related to this?what difference does it make.?Please help me its very urgent.
Cheers:

After entering data in As400 screen i am submitting data through submit button which is on second frame.but after submitting applet screen got hung.dont know the reason code seems to be fine.no memory leakages.
thx for reply.

Applet or Object tag attributes

Hi everyone,
Here is my question :
I'm loading the same applet 2 times in the same html page.
I would like all classes to be loaded for each of those 2 applets and not only one time as it happens right now, but always using the same .jar file of course.
I read once that depending on the attributes you enter in the <applet> tag in your html code, classes will be loaded for each <applet> or not.
For example :
<applet name="app1" code="code.jar" id="applet1">
<applet name="app2" code="code.jar" id="applet1">
--> classes are loaded just one time and used for app1 and app2
<applet name="app1" code="code.jar" id="applet1">
<applet name="app2" code="code.jar" id="applet2">
--> classes are loaded for each applet ( app1 and app2 )
What I have just written in my example is wrong, actually I would like to retrieve those rules that make an <applet> tag to reload every classes.
I hope you can understand what I mean.
Thanx a lot for any help.

try this
<APPLET code="app1.class" width="200" height="200" ARCHIVE="code.jar">
</APPLET>
<APPLET code="app2.class" width="200" height="200" ARCHIVE="code.jar">

Run applet with object tag

Hi people.
I need your assistance in my problem.
I try to run the simple applet (from Java Tutorial Documents):
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class HelloApplet extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello Applet!!", 10, 10);
with a help of two different HTMLs.
First with an <APPLET> tag:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<APPLET CODE="dir1.class" WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=25>
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Second with an <OBJECT> tag:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
     codebase="http://javaweb.eng/plugin/jre-1_2_2-win.exe#Version=1,2,0,0"
     align="left" border="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="code" value="dir2.class">
<param name="codebase" value="./">
<param name="type" value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.2">
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The problem is that in case of <APPLET> tag everything is OK.
In case of <OBJECT> tag the applet don�t run.
And that is only on my machine.
On the others everything is OK in both cases.
HELP!!!
My machine properties:
     Win95
     IE5.5
PlugIN: jre1_2_2-win.exe

Hmmm... I've already seen the Java Plugin going mad if you make too much experimentations with it.
My advice : uninstall it properly and make it be reinstalled by the automatic plugin installation of IE (just by loading the HTML page with the <OBJECT> tag).
I hope it will work...

Applet OBJECT tag to install 1.6.0.22 - harder than you think!

Hi there,
Using the OBJECT tag, I've placed an applet on a webpage. I need the user to download the JRE if it's not installed, so I added this attribute to my OBJECT tag and it seems to work.
codebase="http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab"
Unfortunately, right now this causes jre 1.6.0.18 to be installed, which consistently crashes once the install has completed, requiring the user to close the browser and return before viewing the applet (known issue I believe "http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;jsessionid=5288ea4b825d095f0bf29977ada?bug_id=6925315").
I therefore want the more recent 1.6.0.22 version to be installed instead which won't crash, but I cannot figure out what to change the codebase attribute to accomplish this. It always seems to install 1.6.0.18! I've also tried the following without success:
codebase="http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,6,0,0"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,6,0,99"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,6,0,22"
Any tips would be immensly helpful!

I can load an Applet .class file with an OBJECT tag...

How can I load a .jar file? I foolishly believed I could replace "myclass.class" with "myjar.jar" in the <PARAM> tag associated with an <OBJECT> tag, and if I had created my manifest file correctly, the Main-Class in my .jar would have its init() method called upon IE load of the web-page. But alas, it is not that simple.
Is there an incantation of the <OBJECT> tag that is appropriate for .jar files?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide in this area.

Please ignore the duplication. My browser burped, and I can't seem to figure out how to delete a thread.
See answer posted in other thread.

Is object tag supported by ICEBrowser

Hi,
Can we use an Object tag to embed a lightweight JavaBean component in an HTML?
The following was working with JavaHelp:
<OBJECT classid="java:javax.swing.JButton" width=460 height=160>
<param name="text" value="Hello World!">
</OBJECT>
Also I noticed that using a JApplet in an HTML, while scrolling the page, the applet hides the "content pane" toolbar & menubar
Thanks,
-- Robert

The namespace is active but anyway is not allowed to create a Business Object.
In the create object screen there is the BO interface object that is grey and the information message "
Software component version does not support this object type".
