The applet tag can be followed by parameters:
<applet . . . >
<param name=attributename1 value="attributevalue1" >
.......
<param name=attributenameN value="attributevalueN" >
</applet>
The Java program accesses this information by
String attribute;
attribute = getParameter("attributename1");
if( attribute == null )
attribute = yourdefaultvalue;
// null is Java way of saying unset
Typically this processing would be in init() method of Applet
