Java - Opening a url in new window from an applet

This is the example of opening a url from an applet. This program shows that how a url is opened in a new document or browser. When you click the button "google", new browser window will open displaying the specified url, in our case url is http://www.google.com. This is accomplished by specifying the target as " _blank" while calling getAppletContext.showDocument(url, target) function.

Here is the code of the program :


import java.applet.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.net.*;

import java.awt.event.*;



public class testURL_NewWindow extends Applet implements ActionListener{



  public void init(){

  String link_Text = "google";

  Button b = new Button(link_Text);

  b.addActionListener(this);

  add(b);

  }



  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){

  //get the button label

  Button source = (Button)ae.getSource();

  String link = "http://www."+source.getLabel()+".com";

  try

  {

  AppletContext a = getAppletContext();

  URL url = new URL(link);

  a.showDocument(url,"_blank");

//  a.showDocument(url,"_self");

//  _self to open page in same window  

  }

  catch (MalformedURLException e){

  System.out.println(e.getMessage());

  }

  }

}
