Launching applet in html

Question

Hallo,
I'm launching my applet vie jnlp-file. But I need to create code to dynamically generate page launching applet with parameters. My jnlp-file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<jnlp codebase="http://192.168.20.71/MyApplet" href="launch.jnlp" spec="1.0+">
<information>
<title>MyApplet</title>
<vendor>rafal</vendor>
<homepage href=""/>
<description>MyApplet</description>
<description kind="short">MyApplet</description>
<offline-allowed/>
</information>
<security>
<all-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
<j2se java-vm-args="-Djava.security.policy=applet.policy -Xms32m -Xmx500m" version="1.6+"/>
<jar eager="true" href="MyApplet.jar" main="true"/>
<jar href="lib/jai_codec.jar"/>
<jar href="lib/jai_core.jar"/>
<jar href="lib/mlibwrapper_jai.jar"/>
</resources>
<applet-desc height="768" main-class="MyAppletMain" name="MyApplet" width="1024">
<param name="DbUrl" value="http://192.168.20.71/MyApplet"/>
<param name="PictureURL" value="http://192.168.20.71/MyApplet/GetPicture"/>
<param name="Modalities" value="CT,MR,CR,SR,US,NM,XR,DX,XA,IO,DR,RF"/>
</applet-desc>
</jnlp>
I have an example that launches an applet with following script:
<script src="http://java.com/js/deployJava.js"></script>
<script>
var attributes = {
codebase: [applet codebase],
code: [class to launch],
archive: [JAR file with the applet],
width: [applet width],
height: [applet height]
var parameters = { [applet parameters] };
var version = [JDK version];
deployJava.runApplet(attributes, parameters, version);
</script>
How should I fill the attributes to be able to launch my applet? The format of parameters-attribute is for me unknown, how to pass more then one parameter?
The applet uses addidional jar-files, how to include these into this script? Is there another way to start applet?
with regards

..What's wrong?1) First of all, put all this crap with JNLP files, the deployJava.js and JSPs aside for a while. (a)
2) Develop a plain old HTML file for the applet.
3) Configure the Java Control Panel to pop open the Java Console when it encounters an applet.
4) Ensure your code does not [swallow exceptions|http://pscode.org/javafaq.html#stacktrace] *(<- link)* at any point.
5) Try and load it in the HTML and [copy/paste the Java Console output|http://pscode.org/javafaq.html#exact] *(<- link).*
6) If you can make that HTML available for us to see, post the URL. If not, at least copy/paste the HTML, and please include it in code tags so it is easy to read.
a) OK - none of those are crap, but they are extra complications above and beyond what you need for some basic testing.
