    Default Java site

    Is it possible to have a series of we pages in a .zip file that can be unzipped on any desktop and run as a java file?

    Or does this Ned to be done in a applet?

    What kind of pages? JSPs would be run in a server container which may not be available on every desktop. Plain web pages could be run in a web browser. What Java content would the pages have? With security issues, the Java Applet as a vehicle to share functioning code with others is essentially dead to all except those willing to pay to sign their applets, apparently not cheap.

    Instead of a zip file, use a jar file which has the same structure. Its contents can be accessed by the java program to be executed.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
