Figure 23-2. My AppletViewer showing simple applet

Example 23-24 is the code for the main part of the AppletViewer , which creates a JFrame
and then loads the Applet class dynamically and adds it to the JFrame .

Example 23-24. AppletViewer.java main program
public

public class AppletViewer {

/** The main Frame of this program */
JFrame f ;
/** The AppletAdapter (gives AppletStub, AppletContext, showStatus) */
static

class AppletViewer

static AppletAdapter aa = null null ;

/** The name of the Applet subclass */
String appName = null null ;

/** The Class for the actual applet type */
Class <?> ac = null null ;

/** The Applet instance we are running, or null. Can not be a JApplet
* until all the entire world is converted to JApplet. */
Applet ai = null

null ;
/** The width of the Applet */
final final int int WIDTH = 250 ;

/** The height of the Applet */
final final int int HEIGHT = 200 ;

/** Main is where it all starts.
* Construct the GUI. Load the Applet. Start it running.
*/
public

public static static void void main ( String [] av ) {

new new AppletViewer ( av . length == 0 ? "HelloApplet" : av [ 0 ]);

}

/** Construct the GUI for an Applet Viewer */
AppletViewer ( String appName ) {
