How to close java Applet through code
-
I am developing a java applet. I want it to be closed by the code. I have used System.Exit(0) but it is not working. Is there any other method to achieve this? Thanks

Answer:
An applet cannot call System.exit(int);. Security permissions don't let an applet do this. And if you are trying to close the browser window, even if you signed the code and the browser/user trusted you, the browser wouldn't let you shutdown/close the browser window. If all you want to do is close a Window/Frame created from the applet, this is no different than closing a window outside of an applet.

applet.getAppletContext().showDocument("ThanksForUsingOurApplet.html"); As to the comment that a signed applet can call System.exit(n). It can in some browser/JRE combos., it can't in others. In the ones that it can, it shouldn't since an applet may share a VM with other applets (less common these days), and even if not, it is the user's responsibility to close an applet by closing the page. An applet is a guest in a web page. Calling System.exit(n) is like burning down the guest house.
