Folks, slightly OT: can someone provide me with a few good pointers and/or hints how to correctly integrate a Java applet into a JEE based web application?
More specifically, my problem is something like that: I do have a .jsp containing code to show an applet. Both applet .class and some other resources (.properties files, images, ...) do live inside a .jar file in the same folder as the .jsp. Unfortunately(?), the .jsp is never called directly but rather forward()ed to from within a servlet mapped to some specific URL. So, the situation is that - while calling the .jsp directly (using http://<host>/<context>/<real-path-to>/file.jsp ), the applet loads and runs the way it's supposed to, but - while having the resource called the way it's supposed to (using http://<host>/<context>/<mapping-for-servlet-forwarding-to-jsp>/ ) the plugin doesn't load but provide me with ClassNotFoundException, obviously not capable to find the applet class. Tried playing around with the applets "archive" / "codebase" parameters made things just slightly better: By now the browser does lock up, the applet class seems to get loaded, but obviously fails to load some resources, and I see strange access attempts in my tomcat log, trying to fetch resources like /<context>/<servlet-mapping>/<classpath>/lang/de_DE.properties (the file originally lives inside the applet.jar in <classpath>.lang). Is there any sane way of keeping applets inside a JEE web application, regardless on whether they're invoked directly from a .jsp or from a resource forwarded to from within some servlet? Or am I just too stupid? Sorry again for the OT, feel free to contact me off-list in case you feel like providing me with some hints / pointers.
