Hi,
to call an applet from an html, you should have in the html an applet tag (duuuh)
inside the applet tag, you should place the following:
<applet
archive = "viewer.jar,dcm4che.jar"
code = "dicomviewer.Viewer.class"
name = "Viewer"
width = "600"
height = "500"
hspace = "0"
vspace = "0"
align = "middle"
><param name="debugLevel" value="30">
<param name="displayControls" value="true">
<param name="displayAnnotations" value="true">
</applet>
archive attribute: containing the names of jar files used by your applet
code: the main class of your applet (including the package name)
name: a name for you applet
width, height, hspace, vspace, and align : additional formatting attributes
as for the param elements (such as <param name="debugLevel" value="30"> these are optional parameters in case you need to pass some particular parameter to your applet
As for the location of your jar files, they have to be placed inside the webapps particular folder of your application in the same directory of the calling html file(<TomCat>\webapps\<applicationName> , you can even place them inside a new folder within the <TomCat>\webapps\<applicationName>\newFolder folder, then you would need to add an attribute to the applet tag containing the name of your folder (JAVA_CODEBASE = "newFolder ")
Best,
Mohammad
