The Plug-in Action
The jsp:plugin tag introduces an element that allows an applet to be included the generated page, in such a way that it can be displayed by the Java plug-in in a browser.
This is a replacement for running the HTML conversion program over a file with an applet tag.
Example (from the JSP specification):
<jsp:plugin type=applet code=“Molecule.class”
codebase=“/html”>
<jsp:params>
<jsp:param name=“molecule”
value=“molecules/benzene.mol”/>
</jsp:params>
<jsp:fallback>
<p> unable to start plugin </p>
</jsp:fallback>
</jsp:plugin>
