Question

I have written an applet application and integrate it to run under a webpage. It runs properly when I am running the webpage as local HTML file (using file:/// protocol). But when I am running it on a host (tested with http://localhost using XAMPP), it does not work anymore and through exception of ClassNotFound.

My applet classes are packaged under a *.jar file. Is not the jar file loaded in this case? Can anyone give me a suggestion that what can I do to deal with this problem?

Update

I have uploaded the jar file into the same folder as the HTML file. In my case, they are in the DocumentRoot of the Apache server. I can double-click on the HTML file, it works.

But when I query like: localhost/test.html, it does not. My code:

<applet 
    code="package/ClassName.class" 
    archive="appletfile.jar">
</applet>

I can able load the jar file by: localhost/appletfile.jar

Html document (in which <applet/> tag is used to deploy an applet) and .jar file must be in the same folder.

<applet code ="package.AppletClassName" 
        archive = "Sample.jar" 
        width = "200"
        height ="200">
</applet>
