the server does not care it's serving applets, they're regular files for it

what's important is the APPLET tag on the web processed on the client side

b) the steps should more or less look like:

package your applet classes in a jar
put the applet jar and the oracle jdbc driver jar in the same directory
set the APPLET tag in the html page the clients will load - pay attention to the ARCHIVE option that should describe both jars

if not illegal and if u know how to do it, u may extract only these classes from the oracle jdbc jar that are relevant to the thin driver and ignore the rest in order to reduce the size of the jar the client should load

if the oracle server and the web server are on different machines then u may need to deal with the security settings for the applet
