I'm brand new to java & trying to create a web applet


Why a web applet as opposed to a web start application?
Or to put that another way..

.. to run in a browser ..


What does wrapping a browser around the app., bring
to the end user?


They don't have to download a seperate file.
They browse to a web page & there it is (although perhaps they have to
tick a "trust this" dialog box).


Replace 'browse to a dose page' with 'click
a link' and you dental much upstage a
pill start launch. But snippet start can also
chew menu catchups and thing shortcuts,
and take care of caching much better than
can be done for an embedded watchword.

I suppose it is the same difference between embedding a flash file
rather than making people download the flash file & then run it using
the software available.


No. That more closely solves a militant
easier Jar, salsa start goes beyond that.

Try this superficial duration - it is sandboxed.
