Java applets contained in packages

Can I have an applet live in a package? ie:

bfwd.RedemptionOnline.client

would be the package, and RedemptionOnlineApplet.class would live inside that package. If you can, how would you create the tag for it if it lived inside RedemptionOnline.jar?

here is the tag i'm using:

<applet code="bfwd/RedemptionOnline/client/RedemptionOnlineApplet" width="1" height="1" archive="RedemptionOnline.jar">
    <PARAM NAME="MAYSCRIPT" VALUE="true">
</applet>

and here is a log of the error i'm getting:

If your Applet class is packaged inside a JAR file which is downloadable by http://example.com/RedemptionOnline.jar, then you should specify the packaged class' full qualified name in code and the (relative) public web URL of the JAR file in archive (note: case sensitive!):

<applet code="bfwd.RedemptionOnline.client.RedemptionOnlineApplet" archive="RedemptionOnline.jar">

(I agree with Jon that package names should be lowercased, conform Java Naming Conventions)

If your Applet class is just a loose .class file in public web content which is downloadable by http://example.com/bfwd/RedemptionOnline/client/RedemptionOnlineApplet.class, then you should specify exactly its (relative) public web URL in code instead (note: also case sensitive!):

<applet code="bfwd/RedemptionOnline/client/RedemptionOnlineApplet.class">

Do you now understand when to use periods and when to use slashes and when to suffix .class?

Yes, applets can be in packages - although I would advise you to follow conventions and name the package something like

com.bfwd.redemptiononline.client

When you create the tag, you'd just specify the fully-qualified name:

com.bfwd.redemptiononline.client.RedemptionOnlineApplet.class

or possibly (documentation varies and it's a long time since I've done any applet work)

com.bfwd.redemptiononline.client.RedemptionOnlineApplet

or even:

com/bfwd/redemptiononline/client/RedemptionOnlineApplet.class
