I write classpath as 'set classpath=<source> ' also set classes in classpath.

my current class path is as :

C:\>echo %classpath%
c:\tree\pacg;.;c:\tree\pacg\ojdbc14.jar;c\tree\pac g\classes12.jar

and I put manifest file in jar as :

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Name: tree/pacg/
Sealed: true

C:\>appletviewer tree\pacg\DrawApplet.html
Connection Call
Error e java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

I also added all classes, database driver, html files in classpath

please help..

Do not set your classpath like that.
It should be defined in the applet tag.
That's the only place (as far as I am aware) that it will draw for the location of dependent jar files.

When I set my applet code as follows, its running. But is it correct? I means can we put oracle driver file in archive attribute?

<applet code=tree.pacg.DrawApplet.class codebase=c:\tree\pacg archive=DrawApplet.jar,ojdbc14.jar height="800" width="1000">
</applet>

As far as I'm aware that's the correct way to do it.
It's the applet equivalent of the Manifest in an executable jar file.
