I found one non-rails but simple workaround. I setup an apache server and put the java applet in an accessible folder, e.g. http://localhost/public. Then in the applet tag, I inserted the attribute codebase. e.g.
<applet codebase="http://localhost/public"; code="org.abc.something.class" archive="def.jar" width="1200" height="480"... > ... </applet> phew... However, if there is still a simple way to load an applet from within rails I would be very interested to find out as well.
