Differenciate: Java Application and Java Applet

Java Application:

• Must be installed on local machine.
• Must be run explicitly within a java compatible machine.
• Can run with or without a graphical user.
• Starts execution with its main method.
• Once stared, manages its own flow of control.
• Has no inherent security restriction.

Java Applet:

• Need no explicit installation on local machine.
• Loads and runs it at automatically in a java enabled browser.
• Must run within a graphical user interface.
• Starts execution with its init method.
• Has its flow of executing determined partly by its browser context.
• Has significant security controls to prevent poorly written applets from harming the user’s system.
