pack200 applet compression with Java Plug-in

[Stan]

Hi,

I posted this question to Sun's Developer Network but haven't gotten
any responses.

I've been trying to use the ContentType servlet
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/pack200.html)
for days. The Java Plug-in requests a jar and indicates that it can
accept a jar that was compressed with pack200 (...jar.pack.gz). The
servlet is supposed to determine which file to return. I just get
class not found errors.

My problem seems to be that getPathInfo() and getPathTranslated()
always return null. Here's the log for one of the jars (I added
contextPath, realPath, url path and url file and built path from
realPath without contextPath + url.getFile() ):

INFO: ----------------------------
INFO: pathInfo=null
INFO: pathInfoEx=null

is.jar.pack.gz

"...java" is a symbolic link to /var/www/html/java"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
