Class AppletLauncher

java.lang.Object
  org.fest.swing.launcher.AppletLauncher

public class AppletLauncher
extends Object

Understands a fluent interface for launching and testing Applets.

An applet can be launched by passing its type as String, the actual type, or an instance of the applet to launch:

 AppletViewer viewer = AppletLauncher.applet("org.fest.swing.applet.MyApplet").start();

 // or


 AppletViewer viewer = AppletLauncher.applet(MyApplet.class).start();

 // or

 AppletViewer viewer = AppletLauncher.applet(new MyApplet()).start();
 

In addition, we can pass parameters to the applet to launch. The parameters to pass are the same that are specified in the HTML "param" tag:

 AppletViewer viewer = AppletLauncher.applet(new MyApplet())
                                     .withParameters(
                                         name("bgcolor").value("blue"),
                                         name("color").value("red"),
                                         name("pause").value("200")
                                      )
                                     .start();

 // or

 Map<String, String> parameters = new HashMap<String, String>();
 parameters.put("bgcolor", "blue");
 parameters.put("color", "red");
 parameters.put("pause", "200");

 AppletViewer viewer = AppletLauncher.applet(new MyApplet()).withParameters(parameters).start();

Method Detail

applet

@RunsInEDT
public static AppletLauncher applet(String appletType)

Creates a new applet launcher. The applet to launch is a new instance of the given type. It is assumed that the given type has a default constructor.

Parameters:

appletType - the type of applet to instantiate.

Returns:

the created applet launcher.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given type name is null.

IllegalArgumentException - if the given type name is empty.

IllegalArgumentException - if the given type is not a subclass of java.applet.Applet.

UnexpectedException - if the given type cannot be loaded.

UnexpectedException - if a new instance of the given type cannot be instantiated.

applet

@RunsInEDT
public static AppletLauncher applet(Class<? extends Applet> appletType)

Creates a new applet launcher. The applet to launch is a new instance of the given type. It is assumed that the given type has a default constructor.

Parameters:

appletType - the type of applet to instantiate.

Returns:

the created applet launcher.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given type is null.

UnexpectedException - if a new instance of the given type cannot be instantiated.

applet

public static AppletLauncher applet(Applet applet)

Creates a new applet launcher.

Parameters:

applet - the applet to launch.

Returns:

the created applet launcher.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given applet is null.

withParameters

public AppletLauncher withParameters(Map<String,String> newParameters)

Sets the parameters for the applet to launch, as an alternative to withParameters(AppletParameter...).

Parameters:

newParameters - the parameters for the applet to launch.

Returns:

this launcher.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if newParameters is null.

withParameters

public AppletLauncher withParameters(AppletParameter... newParameters)

Sets the parameters for the applet to launch, as an alternative to withParameters(Map).

Parameters:

newParameters - the parameters for the applet to launch.

Returns:

this launcher.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if newParameters is null.

NullPointerException - if any parameter is null.

start

public AppletViewer start()

Launches the applet in a AppletViewer (using implementations of BasicAppletStub and BasicAppletContext. To provide your own AppletStub create a new AppletViewer directly. The AppletViewer is created and launched in the event dispatch thread.

Returns:

the created AppletViewer.
