Question

How to put into applet initial parameters without using this:

<param name="foo" value="bar"></param>

I don’t want to use code written above, because applet must be used with big initial paramter: two arrays of Strings. Each array can contain up to 50 string elements. So i think it’s bad to write this parameters into HTML page as:

 <param name="foo1" value="GUID #1"></param>
 <param name="foo2" value="GUID #2"></param>
 .....
 <param name="foo90" value="GUID #90"></param>

Answer 1

Two ideas:

1. Use just one parameter key and concatenate the values separated by commas, so you get something like:

   <param name="foo" value="GUID #1,GUID #2,GUID #3,....,GUID #90"></param>
   

   Then you split the value by commas in the applet code.

2. Read the parameters from an external file. This is slightly more difficult because you have to create a URLConnection to read the parameters.
