Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to compile and run an applet that executes in Java-enabled browsers, and interacts with users.It applies to individuals involved in software, web or games development and who are required to build applets, using Java that interacts with users via a browser.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Create Java source file
  • 1.1 Create a file with a text editor
  • 1.2 Create a sub-class of the class Java.applet.
  • 1.3 Ensure that applet sub-class implements at least one of the following methods: init and paint
  • 1.4 Define classes that contain instance variables, methods and local variables
  • 1.5 Ensure that the init method initialises instance variables, and constructs any graphical interface used in the applet sub-class
  • 1.6 Implement the paint and update methods to manage output that is drawn in the applet window
  • 1.7 Incorporate event handling methods
  • 1.8 Implement the code that allows a user to enter values, and assigns these values to variables
  • 1.9 Use available graphical user interface (GUI) components to allow user interaction with the applet
  • 1.10 Specify and load images and sounds
  • 1.11 Include comments to describe the behaviour of the applet
2. Compile a source file
  • 2.1 Use a Java compiler to compile the file
  • 2.2 Correct errors detected by the compiler
  • 2.3 Confirm basic correctness of the file, to ensure that all variables have been initialised
  • 2.4 Ensure the compiler creates a class file, and that the class is interpreted correctly
3. Run applet
  • 3.1 Create and name a hypertext markup language (HTML) file, and add APPLET tag
  • 3.2 Write the applet class file to match the HTML document that contains an APPLET tag
  • 3.3 Confirm that the applet loads and executes correctly
  • 3.4 Identify and correct run-time errors
  • 3.5 Identify and correct logic errors
  • 3.6 Ensure that the appearance of the applet window renders it accessible and intuitive for the user, and that its design complies with organisational standards
  • 3.7 Ensure that user interaction is implemented efficiently and effectively
