Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi all,

I am very new to html/applet concepts, so your help is very crucial. I have a class that is extended from applet, and it is called launchWfeApp. I have an html file that has object tag for this applet. When I invoke html page from the browser, my applet gets called and everything works fine. Now, I want to extend this and accept parameters from url. Currently, my html is invoked by using the following url

http://xxx.yy.lucent.com/simple.html.

Now, I want to invoke it like this:

http://xxx.yy.lucent.com/simple.html?fileName=http://xxx.yy.lucent.com/my.flx&

Inside my applet class's init method, I am trying to get value of fileName

String urlName = getParameter("fileName"), but it always returns null. Am I doing something wrong?? ( obviously :) ). Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Namrata
