Chapter 3: Configuring ColdFusion Server 61
To register a Java applet:
1. Install the Java class files and any other files required for the class. You’ll need to
specify the codebase argument when registering the applet, so take note of the
installed path.
2. In the ColdFusion Administrator, open the Register New Applet page by clicking
the Applets button.
3. Enter the necessary information. Each field corresponds to values you would
enter in the HTML APPLET tag.
4. Enter the parameter name and value pairs required for your applet. If necessary,
you may need to refer to whatever documentation exists for your applet.
5. When you’re done, click Create.
Applet registration fields are explained in the following table.
