Packaging an Applet for Deployment

A standalone applet is packaged as a web archive (WAR) file which contains the applet, the Applet HTML file, as well as the standard J2EE web deployment descriptor, web.xml and possibly target-specific deployment descriptors, as well. Once you've created the deployment profile and the appropriate deployment descriptor files, you can deploy the application to an application server, or as an archive file.

To package a web application for deployment:

Create a WAR File deployment profile for your project. A profile may have already been created for your project. If you wish to deploy to multiple targets, create a separate profile for each.
Add a web.xml deployment descriptor to your project, if it is not already present. Normally, this file is created with the WAR File deployment profile.

Notes:

If you encounter problems when deploying a Swing applet (JApplet), for example, the error "Class not found" is displayed, this may indicate that JDeveloper cannot locate the Swing libraries. Your clients may need to use Sun's J2SE browser plugin or bundle the Swing libraries for JVMs version 1.1 with your applet.
Deployed applet files must reside in a separate location from any other web application files you've deployed.
