{
// Methods
public abstract void appletResize(int width, int height); §3.3.1
public abstract AppletContext getAppletContext(); §3.3.2

}
When an applet is first created, an applet stub is attached to it using the applet's setStub
method (II-§3.1.19). This stub serves as the interface between the applet and the browser
environment or applet viewer environment in which the application is running.
appletResize
public abstract void appletResize(int width, int height)
- Called when the applet wants to be resized.
- Parameters:
width
- the new requested width for the applet
height
- the new requested height for the applet
getAppletContext
public abstract AppletContext getAppletContext()
- Returns:
- the applet's context.
getCodeBase
public abstract URL getCodeBase()
- Returns:
- the URL of the applet.
getDocumentBase
public abstract URL getDocumentBase()
- Returns:
- the URL of the document containing the applet.
getParameter
public abstract String getParameter(String name)
- Returns the value of the named parameter in the HTML tag. For example,
if an applet is specified as
- A call to getParameter("Color") returns the value "blue".

isActive
public abstract boolean isActive()
- Determines if the applet is active. An applet is active just before its start
