- Info - Java Class Files
Here is the answer:
1. First pack your class files with WinZip (none compression rate)
2. Look at the example. I added the command Archive, so Netscape/Explorer can find the
class file.
That�s it !
Example:
"APPLET ARCHIVE="class.zip"
CODE="java.class" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100""
class.zip: This is the Archive file. In this archive is your class file.
Here it�s called java.class, look at CODE="...". The file(s) in the archive
has/have to be exactly the same name as the file in the CODE="..." command.
3. No upload problems and you can add more then one class in such zip Archives !
P.S.: It works with Netscape 3.0/higher and Explorer 3.02/higher !
- Troubleshooting
If you see "Applet can't start: class ______ not found" in your browser's status
line, it can mean:
1.The .class file(s) are not named correctly. Java is case-sensitive, so be sure to follow
precise capitalization.
2.The .class file(s) are not in the correct directory. They should be located in the path
indicated in the
CODEBASE= portion of the <APPLET> tag, or the directory of
your HTML document if no
CODEBASE= is specified.
- When I load the page Netscape gives me a
java.lang.ClassFormatError !
Something is mangling the .class file. Most likely the .class files were uploaded to the SERVER as TEXT or MACBINARY rather than as RAW BINARY DATA. Make sure you put your ftp program in BINARY
MODE before sending the files to the SERVER.
The other possibility is that the web SERVER is sending the file to clients as TEXT rather than BINARY DATA. Make sure the web SERVER is configured to send files that end in ".class" with a MIME type of application/octet-stream. Many
web servers send files as type TEXT/PLAIN which often works but causes problems on a few servers.
It's also possible on some platforms that Netscape just can't find the .class file; that
is, it isn't in the directory where Netscape is looking for it. Technically, this isn't
really a ClassFormatError, but this is how Netscape reports it on some platforms and
versions.
