That should do it. The rhtml file is basically a html file which is
interpreted/parsed by erb before being sent to the client. So
everything you can do in a html file you can do in an rhtml file.

Servers do not work like the local file-system.
(not that \*.jar would work in a generic application,
launched off the local FS).
You need to mention each jar specifically, separated
by a ‘,’.

I am only in a position to comment on HTML. But I suppose that
answers your second question. “Is it the same as in HTML?”
No - apparently not.
Between you and me, if an ‘rhtml’ file can include a link
‘just like HTML’, I would launch the applet using JWS.
Here is an example. [http://www.physci.org/jws/#jtest](http://www.physci.org/jws/#jtest)
