Rules on posting an applet to your web
site using JBuilder to compile the applet
In following these steps you must be very aware of directories, file
names, and file extensions. Also be aware of case sensitivity in naming
files.
A student sent me a file with a java extension and here is exactly what
I did to post it to the web
1 I double clicked on the attachment and JBuilder opened it
2 I removed the package name from the file and copied the rest the to
windows clipboard
3 I closed JBuilder
4 Reopened JBuilder
5 Chose FILE NEW APPLET
6 Clicked finish all the way through and used the system defaults (In
this process I had
the first box checked (use
only core and swing classes)
7 Clicked on the Applet1.java file node.
8 Delete all the code but the package name
9 Paste the code that I copied earlier from the email
10 Run the Applet and it drew a house on the screen
11 Close the Applet
12 Remove the package name at the top of the code
13 Run the Applet again
14 By removing the package name, a class file is built called Applet1
and is found under
c\JBuilder3\myclasses. This file name will be all by itself (obvious)
15 This file is your class file that you will copy to the web
16 Under myclasses you will see a lot of untitled folders from earlier
projects. Do not concern yourself with these
17 Move this class file to a safe place to ftp later.
18 Close JBuilder3 (remember that the package name has been removed for
future reference) You can save your changes if you want (up to you)
19 Use Notepad to type in a simple web page as follows:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> A SIMPLE PROGRAM </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Here is the output of my program:
<APPLET CODE="Applet1.class" WIDTH=600
HEIGHT=400 >
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>
20 Save this code as "first.htm" in a location where you can
find it for FTP purposes
21 Be sure to make you width and height big enough for your own applets
later
22 Since most of you have an Applet1.class file on your site and if you
FTP this new Applet over it will over write your old one, here is what I
recommend
23 Make a new folder on your web site called "FIRSTAPPLET"
24 Change to that folder
25 FTP your 2 new files to that folder
26 Close FTP
27 Open Explorer and type the path to the new htm file. In my case here
is what I typed:
webpages.shepherd.edu/JROMANO/FIRSTAPPLET/clay.htm
clay was the name I used for the htm file but if you followed the steps
above you
will use first
instead of clay
