HTTP 404 when trying to access MindTerm 3.2 within Web page

[Chris M. Jackson]

I am able to get self-signed MindTerm 3.2 to work on my desktop
machine with the following:

java -jar mindterm.jar com.mindbright.application.MindTerm
[Windows XP SP2, Java 1.6.0_06]

I am able to get it to run on my Web server, failing with "cannot open
display" (understandable since the machine is headless):

java -jar mindterm.jar com.mindbright.application.MindTerm
[Linux 2.6.9-023stab046.2-smp, gij 4.1.2/"java 1.4.2"]

However, when I try to run it in a Web page [Windows XP SP2, Java
1.6.0_06, Firefox 2.0.0.14], it fails to start:

load: class com.mindbright.application.MindTerm not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mindbright.application.MindTerm
	at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
	at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)

	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(Unknown Source)
	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

My Apache error log reads (where /path-to-site/term/ is where the
archive lives):
[Thu Jun 12 09:29:40 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] File does not
exist: /path-to-site/term/com

My "page" contains only five lines:
<APPLET CODE="com.mindbright.application.MindTerm"
ARCHIVE="mindterm.jar" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0> <!-- note: no .class should
appear here -->
    <PARAM NAME="sepframe" value="true">
    <PARAM NAME="debug" value="true">
    <param name="cursor-color" value="i_green">
</APPLET>

Web searches for combinations such as [mindterm 404] [mindterm
ClassNotFoundException] show few results, with no solutions, other
than a crude hack (unpacking the .jar).

Thanks in advance,
