Steps to Display a Text file in an Applet Abhishek Mehta
Table of Contents • Initial Conditions • Source code screenshots • Creating a Jar File • Adding a text file in the Jar file • Uploading the files on Ftp Server • Viewing Applet on the website • Errors and Solutions
Initial Conditions • Go to the website http://www.eclipse.org and download the latest version of eclipse. • Extract the downloaded file to a folder and then click the file named “eclipse.exe” • Create a workspace. • Workspace is the area where you create projects / packages / Interface / Class files. • A folder will be created named “Workspace” in C:\Documents and Settings\Abhishek Mehta\workspace.
Adding a Text File to a Jar File • Jar files are same as zip files • Open .jar files with winzip or winrar • Add a text file to the archive • Save the file • Next slides will show you the screenshots
View of Jar file after adding the Text File –“data.txt”
Creating HTML File • HTML File is required to view the applet on the website • Name the HTML file with a convenient name • Save the file, in my case it is on the Desktop • The next slide will show the contents of the HTML file
Uploading the files on FTP Server • So far we have two files • HTML File • Jar File (Class file + Text File) • Upload the Files on any of the Ftp servers from afs1.njit.edu – afs30.njit.edu • The files should be placed in the “public_html” folder
Applet on Website • Type the following in the address bar http://web.njit.edu/~UCID/filename.html In my case, http://web.njit.edu/~arm36/ReadFile.html
Errors and solution • One Silly mistake; Did you update the new class file • If you don’t see the applet on the website • Check the java file, the class should be defined public OR • Check if both the .jar file and the html file are placed in the same folder OR • Check if you add the data file in the .jar file
