applet can't start error!!

[Bala Krishniah]

I am trying to run an applet which makes a database connection.
I'm using jdk1.2.2, a local Oracle 8.1.7 for unix and the oracle
thin driver found in classes111.zip.
Although my classpath points to the file classes111.zip, I got the
ClassNotFoundException when running the applet.
The same setup (path, classpath, jdk1.2.2, oracle 8.1.7) works fine with
all the other standalone java applications.
What is wrong with the applet ?
My html code:
<applet archive="classes12.zip"
code="applet_main.class">

The exact error message is :
# Verifier error oracle/jdbc/driver/OracleConnection.initialize(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Loracle/jdbc/dbaccess/DBAccess;Ljava/util/Hashtable V: Cannot find class java/util/Map

Thanks a lot for any help!!

Although this should probably go in the Applet Section, I think your problem lies within your html file.

<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
           width="200" height="200" align="baseline"
            codebase="http://IP ADDRESS GOES HERE/JRE/JRE1.3.exe">
       <PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="classes\MainFrame.class">
       <PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="HelpDesk.jar, tools\mm.mysql-2.0.9-bin.jar, tools\javamail\mail.jar,
tools\activation.jar">
       <PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1_02">
       <PARAM NAME="model" VALUE="models/HyaluronicAcid.xyz">
            No JDK 1.3_02 support for APPLET!!
       </OBJECT>

That is the object tag in the body of my HTML file to do something similar to what you are doing. The code for Netscape may be a little different. This is for IE. Hope that helps.

I dint realize that there's a separate section for applets. I'll post the question there.
I used the HTMLConverter and converterd my HTML. But still I am getting the same error...
