Calling Java Applets from Page Template?

Attempting to call a Java Applet from a page template and I get an error that it cannot find the associated java class.

Normally, you would have the XYZ.jar file in the same directory as the file that calls the applet tag. In this case that is the XYZ theme directory. I have done this with other PHP files with success but not in the WP structure.

I attempted putting the XYZ.jar file in the WP root, WP include and WP content directories as well, not knowing where the assembled html code is executed and thinking that the XYZ.jar file may need to be in the same directory that the html code is actually executed. None of this worked. While reading the source html, the code looks correct but it cannot find the class.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
