12.3 Including Applets for the Java Plug In

279

Example: Building Shadowed Text

In Section 7.5 (Using Servlets to Generate GIF Images), Listings 7.9 and

7.11 show a 

JFrame

 that uses Java 2D to create shadowed text in the size and

font of the user's choosing. Listings 12.10 and 12.11 present an applet that

uses Swing components to control this frame. 

Since the applet uses Swing and Java 2D, it can run only with the Java

Plug In. Listing 12.8 shows a page that uses 

jsp:plugin

 to load the applet.

Listing 12.9 shows the HTML that results from this page (I added some line

breaks for readability) and Figures 12 3 through 12 6 show some typical out 

put.
