sorry for this,
as you have gone through code, here is its description.
the first part of the code is a date compontent, which I want to reuse it in my other application also.
And in second part I am using this component in JLabel to display the time.
It is showing the time but the problem is that it does not in loop, i.e its show time only once when the applet start, its not in Runnable state
tell me please, what i have done wrong...

For one thing, look at the "display" method. Does it actually "display" anything? No, it just returns a String representing the current date/time. You have to put that String somewhere to be displayed.
Ok, you are (kind of) - when you create the JLabel. But that only sets the label's text ONCE. You have to keep adjusting the label's text somewhere, it's not going to do it by magic.
