Ah, I thought you had the source for the applet.  In that case, you will
need to implement the java.applet.AppletStub interface, and set the stub
in the applet after you create it.  ie:

MyApplet applet = new MyApplet();
applet.setStub (new MyAppletStub());

The AppletStub interface defines the getCodeBase(), getAppletContext()
etc. methods.  The applet class just passes these method calls through
to the stub.

Since the applet is calling getCodeBase(), it probably wants to retrieve
something.  It may take several tries to figure out everything that
needs to be implemented and all the resources it wants.
