Subject: RE: CLASSPATH, .jar files, packages, and so forth 2007-11-01 - By Larry Isaacs
Back
Classes downloaded to the client browser for execution is just
static content as far as Tomcat is concerned. Modifying the server's
or webapp's "classpath" isn't going to make any difference. It's
the client browser's "classpath" that needs adjusting to use the jar.
This means modifying the HTML that runs the applet. Unfortunately,
or perhaps fortunately, it has been many years since I have messed
with such HTML, so I can't say what those modifications would look
like. Likely something in the HTML has to point at the jar where
it lives in the content portion of the webapp. HTH.
Cheers,
Larry
