2.13.7
The plugin action enables a JSP page author to generate HTML that contains the appropriate
client browser dependent constructs (OBJECT or EMBED) that will result in the download
of the Java Plugin software (if required) and subsequent execution of the Applet or
JavaBeans component specified therein.
The
tag is replaced by either an
or
tag, as
appropriate for the requesting user agent, and emitted into the output stream of the response.
The attributes of the
tag provide configuration data for the presentation of
the element, as indicated in the table below.
The
elements indicate the parameters to the Applet or JavaBeans
component.
The
element indicates the content to be used by the client browser if the
plugin cannot be started (either because OBJECT or EMBED is not supported by the client
browser or due to some other problem). If the plugin can start but the Applet or JavaBeans
component cannot be found or started, a plugin specific message will be presented to the
user, most likely a popup window reporting a ClassNotFoundException
