These capabilities are abstracted out into the interface implementation and the browser installs the stub when the applet starts up. Thus, as an applet writer you don’t have to configure your applet on how to do any of these tasks and the browser vendor doesn’t have to provide its own custom Applet class providing its own custom implementations for developers to subclass for that specific browser.
