java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

[hottimbo]

Hi,

I get a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException when I try and load my applet up in a browser.

I've created my package, I've jared it up to MyArchive.jar. It looks like this...

META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
classes/company/package/MyApplet.class
...

I put my jar file onto the webserver in the same dir as my html file, and check that the html code has the following line...

<APPLET CODE=&quot;MyApplet.class&quot; ARCHIVE=&quot;MyArchive.jar&quot; WIDTH=250 HEIGHT=250 NAME=&quot;My New Applet&quot;>


When I browse to this html file, I get the java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.

Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?

Cheers,
Tim

classes/company/package/MyApplet.class

should not have the .class at the end.

If that doesn't work check the path! Gary

Anytime you are referencing a class inside a jar in your applet tag you only want to supply it with the class name. The reason you need to do use the .class when you are not referencing a jar file is because the browser needs to be able to find the class file, if the class is inside the jar then it has already found the jar file. You may need to specify the class as CODE=&quot;classes/company/package/MyApplet&quot; in order for the client crowser to find it, I'm not sure (rusty).
