Hi, Michael,
Depending on the container you are using, you will probabbly not be allowed
to access the web-inf/classes subdirectory through HTTP. But why would you
want to put your applet classes there? You applet ressources (classes and
other ressources) should be bundled in a jar file. This jar file should go
in a subdirectory of your application document root directory.
Anyway, you wont be able to prevent your users to download the applet
classes directly. (But why should you care?) If you want to prevent this,
you should have a look at Java WebStart, which will allow you to
auutomatically download your client application to you authorized users
through a web browser. This way, you can use an application instead of an
applet, and still deploy it through Web access.

Objet : applet in webapplication
hi everybody,
this is kind of off-topic because this qeustion has nothing to do with
servlets directly, but with webapplications. I didn't find a list
spezialized to webapplications, searched the archives, google, jguru,
jars,... even asked at hotdispatch.com , so I thought I ask here.
I wrote a webapplication where i use servlets to display the data for normal
users, and I want to use an Applet to enable authorized users to change the
data...
Everything works wonderful: I wrote a java application which does all that,
and now i converted it to an applet and try do deploy it in my
webapplication.
I can get the applet (main class: maw.jgr.config.ConfigApplet) running by
putting its class files into <server's
webapp-dir>/jgr/maw/jgr/config/ConfigApplet.class and in my html documents I
set codebase to . or .. or http://myHost/jgr . The first problem with this
is that the user could download the class file directly by typing
http://myHost/jgr/maw/jgr/config/ConfigApplet.class, but the second problem
(even worse) is that I have to copy all classes my applet needs from my
<server's webapp-dir>/jgr/WEB-INF/classes/... directory (where all servlets
and stuff is at) to <server's webapp-dir>/jgr/maw/jgr/ i.e. where the
applet is saved in...
My question is: How do I need to set the codebase in my html documents if I
chose to save my class files in <server's
webapp-dir>/jgr/WEB-INF/classes/... ?
Thanks for your help in advance!
