Hi Nitin

 

Where to put your applets under JWS?

 

In many ways the best option is to make use of the JWS file alias option - you can find the details in Core Java Web Server (Taylor & Kimmet; Prentice Hall PTR).

 

Basically, you assign a directory to all your applets.  In the web page write:

     <applet code="MyApplet.class" codebase="/mydir" width=100% height=50%>

 

In the JWS admin applet navigate to "Manage | Setup | File Aliases". Click on "Add".  In the "Alias Pathname" enter "/mydir" (without the quotes); in "Full Pathname" enter "c:/jws-applets" (or whatever - without the quotes).  Click "Save".

 

All that remains is to fire up the browser and check that it does, in fact, work.

 

In many ways this is preferable to many of the other suggestions that have been put forward.  The applets are separated from the "public_html" content.  The codebase parameter is kept short, and therefore less prone to typos.  There is no absolute hard-coding of the codebase.  You are free to change your applet directory - all you need change is the file alias in the JWS admin applet, and nothing more.  Also, it helps to hide directory details from the end user.  If you want to group applets into various directories, you can easily do so by assigning a file alias.

 

Hope this helps
