Images in applet

[Ranu]

how to include images in applets???
I have tried this:


Image image; public void init() {
image = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "http://hostname/image.gif");
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
}

But nothing is showing in applet.Why?

Are there any error messages in the browser's Java console?

Is the host

http://hostname/image.gif

is an applet native-host?
