Hi,
   I have a very newbi question on the construction of a Application for
which I have constructed an Applet front end.

I would like some advice on the number of applets in my application.

I have the initial window as an applet, from which the user can navigate to
other
windows. The user presses a button on the initial applet window which runs
the code:
 PersonView personV = new PersonView();
 personV.pack();
 personV.setVisible(true);
The class PersonView has an applet constructor:
public class PersonView extends Frame {
.
 public PersonView() {
   try {
     jbInit();
   }
   catch(Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
   }
.
.
}
If it helps clarify what I am trying to acheive I do need to pass
information to the new window and on occasion pass information back from the
new window to the original window.

Is this approach ok or should I be creating an instance of a new window with
a conventional constructor and without the jbInit() method?

Does the each applet create its own thread?

Any references which deal with this topic would be appreciated.

Regards

Paul
