The applet on this page does not do a lot of thing. It is meant to be prove of concept.

On start up, the applet reads its name assigned to it on the web page, which is test1 by the way.
It then sends a message. The message is caught by the function vaMessenger() on the web page. Look at the source code if you like. Since vaMessenger() just send the message out as an alert, a Java message box will be displayed. This indicates that JavaApplet can raise events in our model.

If you click the button "get Va info", you will see a message on the status bar. This indicates that Javascript on the page can invoke methods in the Applet.
