HelloWorld.jsp Applet Delivery

Now the applets JAR we built earlier becomes part of the Web application. It is put in the Web application where the browser can find it. The Web application has a JSP page, HelloApplet.jsp, which has a jsp:plugin tag that delivers the applet to the browser. The HelloApplet.jsp with the jsp:plugin action looks like this:

<html>
<head><title>Hello World Applet</title></head>
<body>
<jsp:plugin type="applet"

code="xptoolkit.applet.HelloWorldApplet"
archive="helloapplet.jar"
height="200"
width="200"
align="center">

<jsp:fallback>

<p> Java is cool. Get a browser that supports the plugin. </ br> Or we will hunt you down and melt your computer! </p>
</jsp:fallback>
</jsp:plugin>
</body>
</html>

This shows how the applet is delivered to the browser. How is the applet included in the Web application's WAR file in the first place? We explain in the next section.
