See Question&Answers more detail:osthe problem is that the applet engine can't find your MyApplet class at the codebase you have defined.
This can be caused because you have you class at your /WEB-INF/classes directory. This directory is protected by the servlet engine, for it not to be accesed from external resources (as can be an applet tag at a JSP/HTML page.
There are a few ways to solve this. The easiest one is to pack your MyApplet class un a jar file (let's call it myapplet.jar
), and save it at an accesible directory (i.e. the jsp folder of your web application).
As an example, supose you have the following folders for the web application:
/MyWebApp/jsp
/MyWebApp/applet
/MyWebApp/WEB-INF
The client browsers can access the content of jsp and applet folders.
Then, save your myapplet.jar at the applet folder, and set your applet tag configuration like this (suposing that you web context is MyWebApp):
<applet codebase="/MyWebApp/applet" archive="myapplet.jar"
code="MyApplet.class" width="600" height="500">
</applet>
