The J2EE™ Tutorial Second Edition

Including an Applet

You can include an applet or a JavaBeans component in a JSP page by using the jsp:plugin element. This element generates HTML that contains the appropriate client-browser-dependent construct (<object> or <embed>) that will result in the download of the Java Plug-in software (if required) and the client-side component and in the subsequent execution of any client-side component. The syntax for the jsp:plugin element is as follows:

<jsp:plugin
  type="bean|applet"
  code="objectCode"
  codebase="objectCodebase"
  { align="alignment" }
  { archive="archiveList" }
  { height="height" }
  { hspace="hspace" }
  { jreversion="jreversion" }
  { name="componentName" }
  { vspace="vspace" }
  { width="width" }
  { nspluginurl="url" }
  { iepluginurl="url" } ...
