Hello I'm working on a web application (runs on IE) which is mixed with Applet, XML and DLL files(since app needs to access machine's scanner). The case is somewhat special: When Applet is loaded into browser, it needs to load simultaneously a scannberLib.jar and 2 XML files so as to perform scanning analysis.

There is no problem loading ScannerLib.jar and calling Applet, but 2 XML files are never correctly loaded. Specially, we tried the supplied sample application (jar file) and proved scanning analysis only works when 2 XML files are in the same folder of sampleApplication.jar.

The application structure is shown as follows: end user----> Web app page ----> page loads Applet (jars & lib)-->Applet calls init method in scannerLib.jar---->Scanner lib read related DLL files & DLL file (we have no control) read XML file to do scanner analysis...)

My question is how to make java applet "BE AWARE" and"load/charge" other files(xml) at runtime?

Thank you in advance!

    stop working with applets. Most (major) browsers no longer support them, and those who (still) do, will terminate support not long from now – Stultuske Jun 19 '18 at 09:19
  • Hi Stultuske, thanks for your advice. however we have no choice but to develop web apps working on IE (11). Without using applets, how to access to machine material in a web apps? Thank you ! – user2237472 Jun 19 '18 at 09:29
  • "machine material"? what do you mean by that? you mean you want to use the users local scanner (device)? – Stultuske Jun 19 '18 at 09:48
