Foil 24 Applications Versus Applets - I

From IBM Tutorial on Web Technology for HPCC IBM Poughkeepsie -- February 7 1996. by Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE

Applications are .java files with a main class which reads arguments and is excuted first
One uses javac to compile the application converting .java to .class
Then run the interpreter java with the .class file as argument
.java files are in Java; .class files are in universal bytecodes
The resources javac and java are part of JDK and are not in Netscape and so are currently not broadly available. You must log in to our servers to use them
So instead in this course we will use applets so all the Java threads are distributed around and don't grind our servers to a halt
