Class inside a class problem

[Rick]

Hi,

I made a little Japplet in Netbeans. It uses a sub-class to store some
things. Netbeans can get the stuff compiled and running but when I try it in
Internet Explorer the Java console gives this error :
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: <applet>$<sub-class>"

I've declared the sub class as follow :
public class TestApplet extends javax.swing.JApplet {
public class Number
< stuff >
}
< bla bla >
}

I know I can put this number class into another Java file but due some
isseus(it got to be stored on a microcontroller) I want everything in 1
..class file. Why is Internet Explorer too stupid to execute the applet or
am I doing something wrong?

Greetings,
Rick

Well, I 'solved' the problem a bit. I saw Netbeans generates 3 files in this
case :
- TestApplet.class
- TestApplet$Number.class
- TestApplet$1.class // where the heck is this one good for?
It works in IE now but then again, ain't there a way to stuff al these 3
files in one?

hi
bundle them in a jar
& use archive=myjar in APPLET tag

Thanks for the tip! But can JAR files be executed like normal class files in
a webpage or do I need to 'unzip' them first?

Maybe it's just me but I can't get the jar files to work. Originally I had 1
java file with 1 sub class. After compiling I got 3 class files. I packed
the stuff in 1 jar file using the JDK tool and then created a new test
folder. Inside that folder there are 2 files now,
the jar file (test.jar)
and a html webpage for testing
In that testpage I now have these lines for loading the applet :

<APPLET code="myClass.class" ARCHIVE="test.jar"
width=300 height=200></APPLET>

When running the webpage in Internet Exploder 5.5 (win98) the applet won't
get loaded. If I view the Java Console it seems that he just tries to find
myClass.class. But there's nothing about test.jar so I doubt if the webpage
even tries to use the jar file. These are the 2 errors :
"java.lang.classNotFoundException: myClass.class"
"java.io.fileNotFoundException: ....\myClass\class.class"
As for the second error, that file indeed doesn't exists but where to change
that path? Maybe it has something to do with the platform?

Never mind, it was the case sensitiv shit, Java messed up filenames etc.
etc. I hate case sensitivity but what am I gonna do about it? anyway, thanks
for helping!
