Finishing applet

[talemu]

Hi all,
When I finished applet program, can I compile it as a .jar, or .war file so that its accessible via web?

I need some files/*.txt/ to be loaded at applet start up - at the init() function, I need the applet to read the contents of the files according user preference. Is this option possible, to compile the text files together in the web archive /.war files/?

A .war file is for holding the web components of a J2EE app. If you are just deploying an applet via an HTML page then use a .jar file.

You don't compile the text files, but you can add them to a .jar or .war file and access them from your applet.

Note on reading files from a jar file. Use the getResourceAsStream method and not the File class.
