Your application is not even using Swing. For a start, make use of Swing classes.

Second, making an applet of a Swing application is not too difficult. You need to change the top-level container to JApplet. I'm not much into Swing to be able to tell what all needs to be changed.

And nobody is going to do it for you. I will tell you though, that the biggest problem I see, off the top of my head after a two second code scan, is your WindowListener implementation. You won't be able to do this stuff in an Applet. Other than that, what is majorly different between Applet and Application (window-wise) is that you don't initialise a Frame, but simply add your stuff to the Panel that is part of the Applet.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.I converted the application into an apple but I find an error that NOClassFound error exception and cannot load drivers.Eventhough I loaded all of them.
Please help me and figure out a solution.

You mean applet! NoClassDefFoundError indicates a runtime classpath problem. Since you haven't posted any details, that's as far as I could help.
