Is it possible to run Oracle Forms without applet?

Why this Java Applet do not run in Applet viewer as .class file but runs if embedded in HTML ?

• I am enclosing the following code, which if compiled do not seem to be running as .class file from the command prompt with the Applet viewer. But on the contrary, if the applet is embedded in a HTML file, it runs smoothly with the applet viewer. Why doesn't it run as a .class file from the command prompt ? Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance import java.awt.*; import java.applet.*; public class Appl3 extends Applet { Label l1,l2; TextField t1; TextArea t2; Button b1,b2; public void init() { l1 = new Label("Enter Name :", Label.CENTER); l2 = new Label("Enter Message :", Label.CENTER); t1 = new TextField(10); t2 = new TextArea(" ",5,10); b1 = new Button("Submit"); b2 = new Button("Cancel"); add(l1); add(t1); add(l2); add(t2); add(b1); add(b2); repaint (); } public void start() { repaint (); } public void stop() { repaint (); } public void destroy() { repaint (); } }

• Answer:

  appletviewer is supposed to run an html file. To do this little program the 'official' 'correct' way we would have the separate .htm file and run it with the command >$ appletviewer Appl3.htm if, on the other hand you put this in the top of the source file (Appl3.java) /** <applet code=Appl3 width=300 height=300></applet> */ the command line looks like this >$ appletviewer Appl3.java the commented, hidden html is since Java2 vers. 1.2
