Applet from servlet

[David Brown]

Hello tc-user, has anyone successfully invoked an applet from a servlet using: response.sendRedirect(url) where url=http://localhost/somehtml.html w/ the <APPLET></APPLET> tag embedded? my efforts so far result in:
Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.x.y.MyApplet.class. i have repackaged the applet in different ways to no avail. i am using jakarta-tomcat installed "out-of-box" and using the same ant build infrastructure as the examples and demos:
$TOMCAT_HOME
|

/bin
/classes
/common
/conf
/lib
/logs
/server
/temp
/webapps
/work
$TOMCAT_HOME
|
|
/webapps
|
/myapplication
|
/manager
|
/ROOT
|
/examples
|
/webdav
$TOMCAT_HOME
|
|
/webapps
|
/index.html
|
/META-INF
|
/WEB-INF
$TOMCAT_HOME
|
|
/webapps
|
/WEB-INF
|
/web.xml
|
/classes
$TOMCAT_HOME
|
|
/webapps
|
/classes
|
/com
|
/myapplication
|
/web
/beans
i can place any number of servlets in /web and any number of java "bean" or ordinary class files in /beans and reference their constructors, variables and methods from servlets in /web. however, no amount of packaging or lack of packaging of an applet stored anywhere in this directory tree referenced w/ <APPLET></APPLET> in the index.html (see above) will work (ClassNotFoundException).
TOMCAT VERSION: 4.0.6
JDK: "1.3.1_02"
OS: RH7.2
NETWORK: linux box as router
ENVIRONMENT: TOMCAT_HOME, JDK_HOME
BUILD: ant build.xml
i welcome any and all ideas, suggestions, rants etc.. thanx, david.
