[SOLVED]How to enable Apache2 to serve Java applets?

[teeitup]

Can someone point in the right direction to enable a simple Apache2 web server to serve up a simple Java applet.

The applet works fine when viewed directly from a web browser.
However, when I load the website containing the same through a URL the applet fails.

I'm trying to use WebCam-Server to serve up streaming images from a camera.

The browser states the "applet WebCamApplet notinited".

The java console output:

load: class WebCamApplet.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: WebCamApplet.class

At first glance that sounds like a classpath problem. I'm not sure how you set that for Java through Apache, but it shouldn't be too hard to check.

Turns out the Java version on the PC I was testing from was too old.

After upgrading the test PC to Java 1.5 it worked perfectly.

Excellent. Marking solved.:)
