I am trying to deploy my applet using JNLP. I have tried using Eclipse Run Jetty Run plugin and it worked okay. But now with deployment at a real web server I am really stuck.
My jnlp file sketch is like this (I hava edited some names).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" href="MyApplet.jnlp">
<information>
<title>MyApplet</title>
<vendor>Me</vendor>
<offline-allowed/>
</information>
<security>
<j2ee-application-client-permissions/>
</security>
<resources>
<!-- Application Resources -->
<j2se version="1.6+" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"/>
<jar href="applet.jar" part="true" main="true"/>
<jar href="log4j-1.2.16.jar" part="true"/>
<jar href="slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar" part="true"/>
<jar href="slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar" part="true"/>
</resources>
<!-- Generate values dynamically -->
<applet-desc main-class="org.project.applet.AppletMain" name="MyApplet" width="1600" height="860"/>
</jnlp>
I keep libraries in the same folder with applet.jar.
About manifest file in applet.jar I am not sure, I have tried many options, like specifying libraries, or just . Currently it is like below in Ant script
<manifest>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="."/>
<attribute name="Rsrc-Class-Path" value="./"/>
</manifest>
All jars are signed and this is what I get from console log:

Line 32 is
Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(Level.OFF);
it is first class in applet which should be loaded from external library.
All jars, htmls and jnlps are in http://mydomain.com/play/ and I access applet http://mydomain.com/play/applet.html
From Incompatible magic value 1008813135
I have learned that 1130458734 means Cann and I really get Cannot find block '__global__' if access http://mydomain.com/play/org/apache/log4j/Logger.class.
But I don't understand why searching a class in jar fails, and why it tries to access http://mydomain.com/play/org/apache/log4j/Logger.class which never exist on the server.
EDIT:
My html file somewhere from Oracle tutorials:
<html>
<head>
<title>MyApplet</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<script src="http://www.java.com/js/deployJava.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
var attributes = {code:'org.project.applet.AppletMain', width:1600, height:860} ;
var parameters = {jnlp_href: 'MyApplet.jnlp'} ;
deployJava.runApplet(attributes, parameters, '1.6');
</script>
</body>

Peter Lawrey:
I assume the URL in the class path of applet and since the web server returns a message rather than some HTTP File Not Found status code it thinks it has a class it can use.
That was a good guess! The webserver didn't not return 404 error in header for any non found resource, it was returning only some text. So Java interpreted it as if resource was found and was failing trying to load it as Java class.
