setupFrameset

public void setupFrameset(java.util.Hashtable params)

Setup frameset. This method is called prior to the addition of any target areas in the framset and prior to the display of any pages. Since this applet does not support configurable framesets, this method ignores the parameter values passed.

Specified by:

setupFrameset in interface XStartupObject

Parameters:

params - the framset parameters if any

displayDecoration

public java.lang.Object displayDecoration(PageSupport page,
                                          java.lang.String constraint)
