Applet help, class not found?

Question

hi all ! This is the first time I try a applet.
I have my applet declared in my JSP
<APPLET  CODE = "AppletViewer.class" ARCHIVE = "MedPro.jar" WIDTH = "600" HEIGHT = "400">
/*creating space for better reading of the code*/ AppletViewer.class is part of a package called beans, and MedPro.jar is the jar generated when building the whole app.
Im getting in the applet "viewer" something like:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: AppletViewer.class
     at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2ClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
Caused by: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed:https://localhost:8443/MedPro/servlet/AppletViewer/class.class
Im using SSL to make the app secure, but what I dont get is why its not finding the class, isnt that independant from the connection? Plus the applet code is not asking for any connection atm. Im just trying to load it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Answer 1

well what Im trying to do is to implement jasper reports in a viewer. So for that Im using
public class AppletViewer extends javax.swing.JApplet {
    private javax.swing.JPanel pnlMain;
    public AppletViewer()
    throws ClassNotFoundException
        initComponents();
         private void initComponents() {//GEN-BEGIN:initComponents
          pnlMain = new javax.swing.JPanel();
          pnlMain.setLayout(new java.awt.BorderLayout());
          getContentPane().add(pnlMain, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
     }//GEN-END:initComponents
        public void init()
    public void ViewReport(String jasperFileName) throws net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException,javax.naming.NamingException,java.sql.SQLException,
            java.net.MalformedURLException
               /*  HashMap hm = null;
                 InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
                 DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MedPro");
                 Connection conexion = ds.getConnection();
                // Create arguments
                // Map params = new HashMap();
                hm = new HashMap();
                // Generate jasper print
                //JasperPrint jasperPrint = (JasperPrint)JRLoader.loadObject(new URL(getCodeBase(), "../MedPro/Reportes/"));
                JasperPrint jasperPrint = (JasperPrint) JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperFileName, hm, conexion);
      // JasperPrint jasperPrint = (JasperPrint)JRLoader.loadObject(jasperFileName);
       JRViewer viewer = new JRViewer(jasperPrint);
        this.pnlMain.add(viewer, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    }That class is part of a package called beans in a project called Medpro wich is compiled as a .WAR archive since its a webapp. The examples show a jar file instead wich is for libraries... so Im confused there. There is no documentation about it :(
I still get the error
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: beans.AppletViewer.class I have tried everything, still nothing
Thanks for any help you guys can give me
