Using a java applet

Posted in Forums : Ask a Rails expert

Paulo Carvalho Profile... 4 months ago Authority 0 Posting Rating 0 Sign in to rate this post	I have a simple rails application. In a web page I want to use a Java applet. To do so, I put the jar file of this applet on the public folder of my rails application. The code I am using to execute the applet on my page is the following one: ... <applet code=”applet.TstApplet” name=”TstApplet” archive=”myapplet.jar” align=”center” width=”200” height=”30” MAYSCRIPT/> However, when I execute the application I have the following error: ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match ”/applet/TstApplet.class ” with {:method=>:get}): D:/Programs/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/a ction_controller/routing.rb:1292:in `recognize_path’ D:/Programs/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.3/lib/a ction_controller/routing.rb:1282:in `recognize’ D:/Programs/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/dispatc her.rb:40:in `dispatch’ Am I doing something wrong or it is just not possible to execute a java applet into a web page of a rails application? Thank you Regards

I think the problem in this case is that the applet files were installed in the wrong place. If you are trying to load an applet called applet.TstApplet, you need to have the following file: RAILS_ROOT/public/applet/TstApplet.class i.e. the java package hierarchy gets turned into a directory hierarchy.

Clemens Kofler Profile... 2 months ago Authority 37 Posting Rating 100 Sign in to rate this post	I’d have to agree with Jon on that one – defining routes is only need when you’re communicating with Rails, not when you’re just talking to assets such as images or – in your case – applet data because the public folder is set as Apache’s (or whatever http server you’re using) document root.
