Java Applet and ServiceLoader

Question

Java Applet doesn't load service classes from someJar.jar!/META-INF/services/ by default causing NoClassDefFoundError exception.

How to make it work?

Answer 1

Perhaps by using codebase_lookup property of applet?

The above also implies that your services are either bundled in your applet jar, or you have also specified "codebase"
