I had the same situation and I ended up using a different
constructor.  Initialization via HTML calls the null
constructor.  For example:

class Foo extends java.applet.Applet {
  boolean fromJava = false;

  public Foo(boolean how) {
    fromJava = how; // set to true if called from Java
    ...
  }
  ...
}

Perhaps there's a better way?
