Where to Put Applet Classes or JAR File?

In a web application, classes are put under WEB-INF/classes and JAR files are put under WEB-INF/lib. These files cannot be directly accessed by the client. But what about applet classes, or a JAR file that contain classes for the applet? Where should they be put?

Thanks in advance.

Any sub-dir of your web root except web-inf and meta-inf, they don't need to be in a package tree either

Of course, they should be accessible by the client, as the browser will need to GET them.
And there is nothing wrong to put them in accessible directory, as it was intended, isn't it?

hi,

i think you can put it anywhere because it is run from the client, so you don't need to protect it.

whats wrong if we put it in web-inf directory as there is link of applet from the jsp/servelt and the applet is not going to be called directly..

so i know that we can't access the files under web-inf directly..

pls confirm me

Thanks guys for your replies.

Contrary to what amit said, I don't think we can put the applet files in WEB-INF. Unlike servlet classes, the applet classes have be transmitted over to the client side to run. If you put the applet classes in WEB-INF, then the server will prevent them from being transmitted over to the client side.
