Determing class path for jar html embed

[James Fishwick]

I'm trying to serve an a JAR executable as a web app. I'm having issues figuring out the class path for the "code" attribute. The JAR was originally packaged on a CD-ROM.

Double clicking on the JAR itself (BDH.jar) executes

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\My Documents\3. Current Projects\BDH\BDH.jar"

Double clicking on the bundled .exe executes

"Differential Equations.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\My Documents\3. Current Projects\BDH\jre\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms134217728 -Xmx268435456 -classpath "C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\My Documents\3. Current Projects\BDH\BDH.jar;C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\My Documents\3. Current Projects\BDH\lax.jar;" com.zerog.lax.LAX "C:/Documents and Settings/xxxx/My Documents/3. Current Projects/BDH/Differential Equations.lax" "C:/Documents and Settings/xxxx/Local Settings/Temp/lax29DC.tmp"

Both of these launch the app successfully.

Oh, I'm using "applet-fu.js" to try and load this. I found a bunch of likely classes inside BDH.jar and have tried loading them without luck:

applet_fu.run(
{'width':'550','height':'320'},
{
'archive':'BDH.jar',
'code':'com/artmedialab/main/BDH.class'
},
'1.4.2',
'<p>Please install Java.</p>'
);

Any hope of making this work? Here is my page: http://sandbox.jamesfishwick.com/applet/index.html

If this is a double-clickable app, then you can't use it as an applet (not without changes, anyway). The way to distribute desktop apps over the web is by using JavaWebStart (sometimes called JNLP). See http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/webstart/index.html for more details
