Applet doesn't run with Tomcat - please help!

Question

Hello!
I have a problem with running an applet in Eclipse IDE, using J2EE and a Dynamic Web Project and a Tomcat server.
The directory structure is:
ProjectName
- Java Resources->PackageName->AppletName.java
- built->classes->PackageName->AppletName.class
- WebContent->index.html
In my index.html page I put this code:
<applet code="PackageName.AppletName" width="500" height="200"></applet>
If I run this applet like a simple Java Applet, it runs.
But If I run this on server, my browser doesn't show me anything. I've try several posibilities, but it doesn't work. I should do some configurations on my Tomcat or I wrote something wrong on in my index.hml code, or my AppletName it isn't a simple java class?
Thank you for your time!

Answer 1

My index.html is in WebContent, so I've already put the AppletClass.class there.
I've tried with a jar and if I run this on server it doesn't work either. I don't know if there is any Tomcat->server.xml settings...
It's so frustrating...
Any ideas?
