appletviewer - The Java Applet Viewer






Documentation Contents appletviewer - The Java Applet Viewer


The appletviewer command allows you to run applets
outside of a web browser.


SYNOPSIS


appletviewer [ options ] urls ...


DESCRIPTION


The appletviewer command connects to the documents or
resources designated by urls and displays each applet
referenced by the documents in its own window. Note: if the
documents referred to by urls do not reference any
applets with the OBJECT, EMBED, or APPLET
tag, then appletviewer does nothing. For details on the
HTML tags that appletviewer supports, see AppletViewer Tags.

The Java 2 JDK contains two implementations of the Java
virtual machine:

Note: The appletviewer requires encoded URLs
according to the escaping mechanism defined in RFC2396. Only
encoded URLs are supported. However, file names must be
unencoded, as specified in RFC2396.


The Java HotSpotTM
Client VM
The Java HotSpot Client VM is the default virtual machine.
Its use of Java HotSpot technology gives it superior
performance as compared with the Classic VM. Unless special
command-line options are used to invoke the Classic VM
instead (see below), appletviewer will always launch
an applet to run on the Client VM.


The Java 2 Classic VM
The Java 2 Classic VM is essentially the same virtual
machine implementation as in version 1.2 of the Java 2 SDK.
It may be invoked by using the -classic
command-line option, as in this example:



appletviewer -classic MyApplet.html






OPTIONS



-debug

Starts the applet viewer in the Java debugger, jdb, thus allowing you to debug the
applets in the document.

-encoding   encoding name

Specifies the input HTML file encoding name.

-Jjavaoption

Passes through the string javaoption as a single
argument to the Java interpreter which runs the appletviewer.
The argument should not contain spaces. Multiple argument
words must all begin with the prefix -J, which is
stripped. This is useful for adjusting the compiler's
execution environment or memory usage.
