How to invoke applet from a JSP?

[george vasanth]

I have an applet which is in a jar file invoked from a JSP running in weblogic.

I use the following tag for invoking the applet in the JSP.

<APPLET code="BarChart.class" archive="BarChart.jar" width=500 height=500></APPLET>

But I get a ClassNotFoundException for the applet class.

Is there a specific location in which i have to put the jar file containing the applet or is there a change in the tag used to invoke the applet?

Any pointers or suggestions would be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

The class files should be in the same place as the JSP, not in WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib. Those directories are only for classes that run on the server, whereas your applet classes are, as far as the webapp is concerned, just dumb data to be shipped to the browser on request. So the class files have to be in a public document directory, such as where the JSP is, so the browser can ask for them and they can be served by the web server.

George-

Before you started this thread, I answered your question in a private message. Next time you have a question, consider more carefully where and how you post it, or people will get the idea that you're taking liberties with their time by duplicating effort.
