getParameter() in an applicationized applet

Thread view:

I'd like to use getParameter() and other getXxxx() method of an
applet from an application that puts the applet in a frame window.
I mean I'd be happy if the application could read the parameters
and other data from the original HTML file that has applet tag.

Is it possible?

And, if the answer is no, what could be the alternative way for
the application to get the applet parameters and other basic
data given by getXxxx() methods?

Thanks in advance and Merry Xmas.

Yes. You can create an artificial AppletStub and AppletContext
for an Applet hosted by a Frame or JFrame, then you simply need
to attach the stub and context before adding it to the Frame
or JFrame's contentPane().

I have not specifically parsed HTML to get the applet param's,
but my (ever 'yet to be released') Appleteer program creates and
reads an XMLised object of applet parameters.
