Hello everyone,
I have a
java program that prints data based on coordinates. The program that takes the data and coordinates are on the server. The problem is, the printer prompt happens at server side as well, i need it to be at client side. Is there a way to do this? (Can you please suggest helpful links) Or should I resolve to other options like
applets?
What do you think is the best approach in this solving this problem?
If I can add my road block when implementing the applet:
In my WEB-INF directory, I have a subdirectory called classes, inside classes is another subdirectory called util, and inside util is my JPrintThisApplet class. What should I put in the applet's codebase and code tag for the JPrintThisApplet to be recognized? I tried including and un-including the WEB-INF in the codebase (e.g codebase="WEB-INF/classes/") and maintaining code as (code="util/JPrintThisApplet.class") and all sorts of combination but it still wont work.
THEN
I imitated the same DIR hierarchy, placed a folder named AppTemp in the same location of WEB-INF, put the classes DIR inside AppTemp, along with its subdir util that contains my JPrintThisApplet.class, then have codebase and code as (codebase="AppTemp/classes" code="util/JPrintThisApplet.class") and it works perfectly.
I'm just not sure why it won't work with WEB-INF.
The
JSP that calls the applet is in the same location as the WEB-INF folder.
Thanks and I appreciate all your help.
Rgs,
