Interface LoadableAppletInterface

All Known Subinterfaces:

WSLoadableAppletInterface

public interface LoadableAppletInterface

LoadableAppletInterface provides an optional mechanism to access the caching management of Host On-Demand specific libraries provided by the Host On-Demand server.

A custom applet, implementing this interface and launched via com.ibm.eNetwork.HOD.cached.appletloader.CachedAppletLoader in a Deployment Wizard derived HTML, can specify automatic caching management of the required Host On-Demand specific libraries.

In contrast the custom applet libraries themselves will be downloaded and temporarily cached in the browser.

Method Summary

void	init() Called by CachedAppletLoader to inform this LoadableAppletInterface instance that it has been loaded into the system.
void	setApplet(java.applet.Applet a) Called by CachedAppletLoader to pass a reference to itself to this LoadableAppletInterface instance.
void	start() Called by CachedAppletLoader to inform this LoadableAppletInterface instance that it should start its execution.
void	stop() Called by CachedAppletLoader to inform this LoadableAppletInterface instance that it should stop its execution.

Method Detail

setApplet

public void setApplet(java.applet.Applet a)

Called by CachedAppletLoader to pass a reference to itself to this LoadableAppletInterface instance.

The class implementing LoadableAppletInterface is not the top level class that the browser is aware of: CachedAppletLoader is. A reference to CachedAppletLoader provides an access path to top level functionality.

start

public void start()

Called by CachedAppletLoader to inform this LoadableAppletInterface instance that it should start its execution.

init

public void init()

Called by CachedAppletLoader to inform this LoadableAppletInterface instance that it has been loaded into the system.

stop

public void stop()

Called by CachedAppletLoader to inform this LoadableAppletInterface instance that it should stop its execution.
