hi Pierre-Yves,
thanks for ur reply, I thought that before but didn't believe it, I meant it
must be possible because I wanted my applet and my servlets to share some
classes and for that reason putting them together under WEB-INF/classes|/lib
would have been great...
I also realized that the user will get the classes no matter what I do,
because JVM needs the classes to execute the applet and so he probably could
locate them in his browser's cache anyway.
I don't want to use WEbStart because the users would have to download
WebStart, I didn't use swing as well, because I don't want to loose users
because they don't want to download the plug-in, so I set on the browser's
built-in java support.
