Java3D Applet source files

Question

I have a Java3D application, where the applet is embeded in a html file with syntax " <applet code="iiit.vlabdemos.science.science$MyApplet" width="990" height="700" title="EPR"> ". I am actually looking for the source files[ie .class/.jar/.jnlp files] of that applet in the application repository. But I am unable to trace it out. Is it that the applet is running form some server? Can someone explain what the applet syntax means.

Answer 1

The attribute "code" contains the name of the applet class but when it doesn't point to a .class file, usually you find a reference to a JNLP file (attribute "jnlp_href") or to a JAR (attribute "archive"). No the applet isn't running from a server, it is downloaded and executed within the web browser. Enable the logs and the trace in the Java console to see which JAR or class file is loaded.
