Henry,
Please respond to the list, so everyone can see this conversation. Also
note that this isn't really a Tomcat question. It's an applet question.
However, I'm happy to help.
1. I put PluginApplet.jsp in the directory
[TomcarInstalledHome]\webapps\ROOT\
Okay, that should be fine. Since IE is trying to load your applet, I
assume that the page is in the proper place.
2. I use IE to browse http://localhost/PluginApplet.jsp
Result: IE failed in initializing PluginApplet.
Where should I put the following 4 class files?
DrawingPanel.class ,PluginApplet.class, TextPanel.class,
WindowUtilities.class
First of all, I highly recommend using a JAR file since you have
multiple class files. I believe that most browsers will use the current
base URI for loading classes, so your classes should be in the same
directory as your PluginApplet.jsp file (or, at least, the URL created
by replacing 'PluginApplet.jsp' with 'PluginApplet.class' should resolve
to your class file.
jsp:plugin type=applet
code=PluginApplet.class
width=370 height=420
/jsp:plugin
You should, however, specify either the 'codebase' attribute for the
jsp:plugin element, or use the 'archive' attribute, which would be
required if you were to use a JAR file.
So, if you JAR'd all your class files together into, say,
PluginApplet.jar, then your JSP code would look like this:
jsp:plugin type=applet
code=PluginApplet.class
archive=/path/to/PluginApplet.jar
... other attributes like width, etc. ...
/jsp:plugin
Hope that helps.
