java - Unable to run Applet from Struts Web Application -

i have followed relevant tutorials, still stuck. want embed applet jsp driven struts 1.x. i've packed jar helloworld.jar single applet helloworld.class. hosted on local websever localhost:7001/webcontent/. other parts of application work, , jsp loads fine without applet. when applet makes post server retrieve jar , class location, receive filenotfoundexception , classnotfoundexception. strange thing posts path did not expect:

network: connecting http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld.jar proxy=direct network: connecting http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld.jar cookie     "jsessionid=ws7ljg3p3fffjl4rtcz7ylmpf68jllmgrd2jtyh7zyywlqkcqy5p!2106205894" java.io.filenotfoundexception: http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld.jar     @ sun.net.www.protocol.http.httpurlconnection.getinputstream(unknown source)     @ sun.plugin.pluginurljarfilecallback.downloadjar(unknown source)     @ sun.plugin.pluginurljarfilecallback.access$000(unknown source)  network: cache entry not found [url: http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld.class, version:         null] network: connecting http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld.class proxy=direct network: connecting http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld.class cookie     "jsessionid=ws7ljg3p3fffjl4rtcz7ylmpf68jllmgrd2jtyh7zyywlqkcqy5p!2106205894" network: cache entry not found [url: http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld/class.class,     version: null] network: connecting http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld/class.class proxy=direct network: connecting http://localhost:7001/webcontent/helloworld/class.class cookie     "jsessionid=ws7ljg3p3fffjl4rtcz7ylmpf68jllmgrd2jtyh7zyywlqkcqy5p!2106205894" java.lang.classnotfoundexception: helloworld.class     @ sun.plugin2.applet.applet2classloader.findclass(unknown source)     @ sun.plugin2.applet.plugin2classloader.loadclass0(unknown source)     @ sun.plugin2.applet.plugin2classloader.loadclass(unknown source) 

no matter change code, codebase, or archive parameters same request same path same failures. relevant code below:

jsp (note i've tried code="helloworld.class" well) :

<div> <jsp:plugin type="applet" codebase="." code="helloworld" archive="helloworld.jar" width="600" height="480" /> </div> 

application structure:

/ /src/ /webcontent/pages/myjsp.jsp /webcontent/pages/helloworld.jar /webcontent/web-inf/ ... 

helloworld.java

import java.applet.applet; import java.awt.graphics;  public class helloworld extends applet {      public void init() {         resize(150,25);     }      public void paint(graphics g) {         g.drawstring("hello world!", 50, 25);     }  } 

any appreciated.
