HI,

I have a applet file named “Scanner.class” which will scan and upload  
image to the web server from Scanners.

I have couple of doubts in accessing that applet file.

1. How to call this applet from rhtml file, and where should i place  
this file.

2. I also use some external jar files which i imported in my applet  
file, where should i place these jars?

Thanks,  
Ratnavel

Does the documentation on Java Web Start help you out?[0] In general,  
Java applets are executed by the client, and you can stick the Java  
stuff where ever you want, as long as the JNPL (sp?) file references the  
correct paths.
