Hi,

I have a number of classes packaged into two JAR files. All classes
are needed by my applet. I use this in my webpage:

<applet
code=MyApplet.class
archive="JAR1.jar, JAR2.jar"
width=400 height=400>
</applet>

This is according to the JAR Guide shipped with JDK1.1.4.

When I open this page in Netscape 4.03 after turning on the Java
Console and setting applet debug level to 9, I see this output:

# context = netscape.applet.MozillaAppletContext@800f224
# codebase = http://<server_address>/classes/
# archive = http://<server_address>/classes/JAR1.jar
# mayscript = false

i.e. the second JAR file isn't being accessed. The applet finally
fails because it doesn't find the classes residing in JAR2.jar.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a problem I'm seeing here?
