What is Valid / Invalid Bits?

When a page is accessed, if the valid/invalid bit is set to valid, then the page is simply accessed in main memory via the logical address entry in the table. If the page is not contained in physical memory, then a page fault is generated. This causes the program to try and load the page into memory. The system first checks if the requested address is valid. If not, then the process is terminated. If the address is valid, then the system checks for free frames. If a free frame is found, then the system loads the requested data from the disk and places it in the free frame. The valid/invalid bit is set to valid in the paging table, the logical address is set to the previously free frame, and the program can continue executing. If no free frames are present, then the system must swap out a currently used frame and place the requested data in the frame. The system, an algorithm such as LRU, MRU, etc. to determine which page to swap out. The system swaps out the old page, loads in the new page and then returns control to the process.

What is Java Applets?

An applet is a special kind of Java program that is designed to be transmitted over the Internet and automatically executed by a Java-compatible web browser. Furthermore, an applet is downloaded on demand, without further interaction with the user. If the user clicks a link that contains an applet, the applet will be automatically downloaded and run in the browser. Applets are intended to be small programs. They are typically used to display data provided by the server, handle user input, or provide simple functions, such as a loan calculator, that execute locally, rather than on the server. In essence, the applet allows some functionality to be moved from the server to the client.
