create two applest, a loader applet with the authentification and then dynamically load the other applet.i do this with an Applet and a JApplet. my loader-Applet checks java version, and if everything is okay, it loads the JApplet applet.

// in FirstApplet.class:

class FirstApplet extend Applet {

Applet otherApplet = null;

public void init() {

// do your authentification

}

public void start() {

if (authentified==true) {

otherApplet = new SecondApplet();

}

}

}

// in SecondApplet.class:

class SecondApplet extends Applet {

public void init() { ... }

public void start() { ... }

}

another way:

you can also use plain .htaccess / .htpasswd files and let the webserver do the authentification.

once the user is logged in, the user can access the applet.

public class FirstApplet extends Applet {

private boolean authentified = false;

private SecondApplet applet = null;

public void init() {

System.out.println("FirstApplet: init()");

authentified=authentificate();

}

public void start() {

System.out.println("FirstApplet: start() "+authentified);

if (authentified==true) {

applet=new SecondApplet();

applet.init();

applet.start();

}

}

public void stop() {

System.out.println("FirstApplet: stop()");

if (applet!=null) applet.stop();

}

public void destroy() {

System.out.println("FirstApplet: destroy()");

if (applet!=null) applet.destroy();

}

private boolean authentificate() {

System.out.println("FirstApplet: authentificate()");

// ask the user for username and password

// check the password, if it's ok, return true

// if it's not okay, return false

return true;

}

no, because that is not the right forum these issues.go and look for another forum, search google or buy a book.there is really enough information about that in the net
