applet

[rengaraj]

hi dears!
i want to retrieve data from DB and send these to applet. but i have 2
questions:

1- how can i show data in applet?(i must using java
controls like label?)

2- height and width of applet isn't fixed
(depend of number of data that i must shown) how can i set this from
code?
if i don't place width and height of applet in applet tag, it's
change dynamically?

thanks.

To connect and retrievs data from a database you need to know JDBC.
For the applet interface design part, I suggest you have a read at Sun's applets tutorial.

Do you have to use an applet? Why not write a standalone application with a JFrame? Then it would be a simple matter to change its size and indeed to make it resizable. I try to avoid using applets when there's a better solution. There are also hurdles when you want an apple to connect to a database, because the database is usually on a different machine from the web server the applet was downloaded from.

As for designing the GUI, the applet aspect is a minor one. Take the whole tutorial:
