Should be simple Java question

**lvzardoz** · 01-31-2003, 05:16 PM

I normally don't do Java but I want to do some stuff I can't do with Javascript or PHP.

For testing I am trying to execute the simplest Java program:

import java.io.*;

class simple
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ System.out.println("What the hell is the problem.");
} }

From a telnet (SSH) connection it runs fine on the command line.

However, when I try to run it as an applet in a browser, the normal gray applet area displays but nothing else. When I move my cursor over the applet area it says that "simple.class" file (chmod'ed to 777 just in case) can't be found. Why? It resides in the same directory as the HTML file:

<HTML>
<BODY>
Before applet<P>
<applet code="simple.class" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=300>
</applet><P>
After applet
</BODY>
</HTML>

Wow, that 3 times I've seen this.

OK... that class is not an applet so you can't run it on your browser.

it should be something like:

public class myClass extends Applet {
public static void init() {
System.out.println("hey...");
}
}

so on

compile it to a class and make sure you import the applet class, also an applet class must be public!

I'm not too keen on applets (although I do program in Java), but I think System.out.println() prints to the console when in "applet mode". So open the console to see your output.
