CFAPPLET |
Description
This tag references a registered custom Java applet. To register a Java applet, in the ColdFusion Administrator, click Extensions > Java Applets.
Using this tag within a cfform tag is optional. If you use it within cfform, and the method attribute is defined in the Administrator, the return value is incorporated into the form.

History
ColdFusion MX: Removed the requirement that you use this tag within a cfform tag. Changed the behavior when this tag is used within a cfform tag; if the method attribute is defined in the Administrator, the return value of the applet's method is incorporated into the form.

Usage
You can specify the applet method attribute only in the Administrator, Java Applets view. For other attributes, you can accept the default values in the Administrator view, or specify values in this tag and override the defaults.
If Java applet components are stored in a JAR file, enter the filename in the ColdFusion Administrator, Java Applets window, Archive text box.
Example
    <p>cfapplet lets you reference custom Java applets that have been
       registered using the ColdFusion Administrator.
    <p>To register a Java applet, open the ColdFusion Administrator and
       click "Applets" link under "extensions" section.
    <p>This example applet copies text that you type into a form. Type
       some text, and then click "copy" to see the copied text.

    <cfform action = "index.cfm">
       <cfapplet appletsource = "copytext" name = "copytext">
    </cfform>
