Accessing an external JAR file using Applet

**rameshiit19** · July 18th, 2011, 09:47 AM

Hi,
I have created an applet as follows.

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class SampleApplet extends Applet
{
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
String ss;
Sample s=new Sample();
ss=s.test("From Sample Class");
g.drawString(ss, 20,30);
}
}

I have also made it as a JAR using,

jar -cf SampleApplet.jar SampleApplet.class

I have created the dependent class as,

public class Sample {
public String test(String a)
{
System.out.println(a);
return a;
}

}

I have created the jar of the above class using ,

jar -cf Sample.jar Sample.class

I need Sample.jar to be embedded into SampleApplet.jar and want to run "SampleApplet.jar" as stand alone ...

I wrote the HTML code as,

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Sample Applet</title>
</head>
<body>
<applet name="SampleApplet" code="SampleApplet"></applet>
</body>
</html>

Please help !

Thanks,
Ramesh Jothimani

Can you explain what "embedded" means?
Any file can be added to a jar file. You can add Sample.jar to the SampleApplet.jar file. No idea what good that is, but it can be done.

run "SampleApplet.jar" as stand alone

By standalone, I assume you want to execute the program outside of a browser and without HTML.
Set that jar up as an executable jar. It needs a manifest file with a Main-Class: line that points to a class with a main() method.

I need to add Sample.jar in SampleApplet.jar & I meant it as embedded .

Thanks !

add Sample.jar in SampleApplet.jar

You can use the jar command will add the Sample.jar file to the SampleApplet.jar
Why do you want to do that? You will not be able to execute class files contained in the Sample.jar file while it is in another jar file.

That was the requirement I got

Not they have accepted in making two independent jars and is working fine . Thanks !
