JSP Plugin tag for applets with codebase - WLS 6.1 sp2

Question

          Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
          I have the following Plugin tag in my JSP.
          <jsp:plugin type="applet"
          code="com.xxx.efm.frontend.view.EFMApplet"
          codebase="/lib"
          archive="applets/EFMFrontend.jar, EfmCommon.jar, TrimmedWeblogic.jar, dom4j-full.jar,
          /classes/"
          jreversion="1.3"
          nspluginurl="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/plugin-install.html"
          iepluginurl="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-131-win32.cab">
               <jsp:params>
                    <jsp:param name="Delimiter" value="<%=delimiter%>" />
                    <jsp:param name="ComponentMap" value="<%=componentMapValues%>" />
                    <jsp:param name="ServerConfig" value="<%=serverConfigValues%>" />
                    <jsp:param name="GUIConfig" value="<%=guiConfigValues%>" />
               </jsp:params>
          </jsp:plugin>
          I am trying to load the JSP using Netscape 4.7. When I don't have a plug-in installed
          the page
          displays "Click here to get the plugin". On clicking on it the browser pops up
          a "Plugin not loaded" dialog.
          All this is fine except that the dialog says it can retrieve the plugin from "/lib".
          When I click on
          "Get the plugin" button the new browser window tries to load the URL: http://localhost:2002/lib/?application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.
          It totally ignores the netscape URL for plugin. Something similar happens with
          IE as well.
          I tried the same JSP without the codebase tag and all worked fine (except for
          my applets). Yeah, I can append a "/lib" to each of
          my jars in my archive and it just might work. But should I be doing anything different?.
          Any help is appreciated.
          Thanks,
          Gopal

I am facing the same problem with netscape (4.7x). Gopal, did you find any
          solution?
          IE works fine for me. I use the foll pluginurl
          iepluginurl="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#V
          ersion=1,3,1,1"
