We put the MyApplet.class in the lib folder and called the applet  
using html object tab. We set the codebase = “MyApplet.class”.  
The application is throwing the class not found exception.

Any one tried out calling the applet from rails application?

Wouldn’t the applet need to be somewhere in /public in order for the  
browser to be able to download it?
