How to make a scrollable applet

Question

How do I make an applet scroallable? Not a scrollpane within an applet but instead make the whole contentpane for the applet as a scrollable pane if the content within the applet�s contentpane is too small to view all the added content. Or if the applet is added to a frame to be run as an application and the frame size is decreased.
That is, how do I make a scrollpane that fills the whole contentpane for the applet and is resized together with the applet�s contentpane? What do I for example have to add to this little applet to make it�s contentpane scrollable?
public class Applet extends javax.swing.JApplet
    public void init()
        // Initialization of the applet pane
        getContentPane().setBackground(java.awt.Color.WHITE);
        getContentPane().setLayout(null);
        // Adds some content
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Applet application");
        label.setSize(100, 20);
        label.setLocation(10, 10);
        getContentPane().add(label);
}It is probably very easy but I can�t figure it out myself yet, I am still too new to Swing : )

Answer 1

Thank you for your answer, but I am not quite happy yet ...
What is it so bad with use of null-layout? I have found that I can use exact positioning using setLocation if I set use null-layout which I can�t with for example BorderLayout. It is even worse, the BorderLayout makes the UI ugly by size of the content to fill one out of five "cells". But I know I am wrong when I say nul-layout is fine because many other also complains on null-layout, I just don�t know why I am wrong?
But any way, with null-layout, something like this ...
       JPanel contentPane = new JPanel(new java.awt.BorderLayout());
       getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(contentPane));
       JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane();
       scrollpane.getViewport().add(getContentPane());
       // Initialization of the applet pane
       contentPane.setBackground(java.awt.Color.WHITE);
       contentPane.setLayout(null);
       contentPane.add(table);do I just get a white empty area. If I instead use a BorderLayout like in your example do the table fill the whole space, and that does not look too beautiful. Couldn�t I instead get a pane with some absolute positioned elements that has some space around them scrollable?
I guess I am on the wrong direction now : ) but I then need someone to teach me why?
