ClassNotFoundException

[naviknit khanna]

hi all
i m running a very simple applet .as i m new to it.
i try to run it in two different ways as follows
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case 1. I put XmlTreeAppletDemo.class and XMLTreeAppletDemo.html into

D:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\webapps\xml-tree-example\WEB-INF

in this case XMLTreeAppletDemo.html contains

<Applet code= "XmlTreeAppletDemo,class" width = "200" height="200">
</Applet>



it works fine and applet get initialized using appletviewer utility.

this works because class file and html file are in the same folder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case 2. I put XmlTreeAppletDemo.class into

D:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\webapps\xml-tree-example\WEB-INF\classes
and XMLTreeAppletDemo.html in

D:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\webapps\xml-tree-example\WEB-INF

in this case XMLTreeAppletDemo.html contains

<Applet code= "/classes/XmlTreeAppletDemo,class" width = "200" height="200">
</Applet>

but when i run XmlTreeAppletDemo.html using appletviewer utility from

D:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\webapps\xml-tree-example\WEB-INF directory

i am facing this Exception

can anyone tell me where i m wrong ?
does classpath matters for this ?
i have set my classpath as

D:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\webapps\xml-tree-example\WEB-INF\classes

i will be highly thank ful to u all.

The HTML file with the <applet tag and the applet class files should be in the same directory on the server.
The browser does an HTTP GET for the HTML and then does an HTTP GET for the objects referenced in the HTML page including the applet classes. The default path (codeBase) will be to the same directory as the HTML file.

thank you dear
it worked
i used a war file and a jsp to run my application.
i plugged in my applet into that jsp
thank you for your help.
