[Chinni Bujji]

   <jsp:plugin type="applet" code="Clock2.class" codebase="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" jreversion="1.2" width="160" height="150" >
    <jsp:fallback>
        Plugin tag OBJECT or EMBED not supported by browser.
    </jsp:fallback>
</jsp:plugin>

I tested with this path but it doenst work
Please help me

Moved to the Applets forum.

The recommended practice is not to use codebase at all, but to keep all files used by the applet in the same directory as the HTML/JSP file that contains the applet tag.

[Chinni Bujji]

But my .class files are in different locations i cant change them

Please give me any other solution

OR

give me some other suggestion where i dont have to use applets
my program is regularly read the log file and display it in the applet
so instead of applet can i use something else

please advice

Why not? If you want to use an applet you'll need to work within their constraints.

my program is regularly read the log file and display it in the applet

If it simply displays a log file without user interaction, why can't you use a regular web page? Where is this log file located - on the server or on the client?

[Chinni Bujji]

Yes the log file is located on the server
Whenever the user clicks start the log file should be read and displayed on to the JSP and when the user says stop, it should stop tailing

Please give me some suggestions how to go about it

Thanks

Sounds like you could use a page that auto-reloads every N seconds. Or implement an AJAX solution that loads and displays new lines in fixed intervals through an XmlHttpRequest object.
