Answer 1

You have to specify the class that you want do embed from the jar file.

Like this:

<applet id="ZFComponent" ARCHIVE="ZFApplet.jar" CODE="ZFApplet.class" width="0" height="0">
This browser does not support Embed.
 </applet>

This is assuming the class you want to embed is ZFApplet .

EDIT: The above code will work on some browsers but it is going extinct because using applet tags introduces a lot of security risks. Chrome no longer supports the applet tag and you should only be running Java in Chrome through Java Web Start (and even with that it prompts the user about running Java.)

See the notice on Oracle's site :

Chrome no longer supports NPAPI (technology required for Java applets) The Java plug-in for web browsers relies on the cross platform plugin architecture NPAPI, which has been supported by all major web browsers for over a decade. Google's Chrome version 45 (scheduled for release in September 2015) drops support for NPAPI, impacting plugins for Silverlight, Java, Facebook Video and other similar NPAPI based plugins.

Java applications are offered through web browsers as either a web start application (which do not interact with the browser once they are launched) or as a Java applet (which might interact with the browser). This change does not affect Web Start applications, it only impacts applets.

If you have problems accessing Java applications using Chrome, Oracle recommends using Internet Explorer (Windows) or Safari (Mac OS X) instead.

Happy Coding!
