Java applet as part editor

[Tim McDonald-2]

Hi

I'm playing about with using a Java Applet to provide a ability to create
and edit math's equations directly in Daisy. The editor I'm considering
using is DragMath (http://www.dragmath.bham.ac.uk/demo.html) which is open
source and can export both images and MathML. Before I plunge into writing
code for daisy I wanted to check I'm going along the correct lines.

I know I've got to define a new part editor xml file (i.e.
resources/parteditor/DragMath.xml), a java file (i.e.
frontend/editor/DragMathEditor.java) and a CForms xml files (i.e.
resources/forms/parteditor_dragmath_definition.xml &
resources/forms/parteditor_dragmath_template.xml).

However, I'm struggling to workout where the code to run the applet should
go. The code from the DragMath site to inclode dragmath in a page is given
below:

<applet name= "dragmath" codebase="classes" code=
"Display.MainApplet.class"  archive=
"Project.jar,AbsoluteLayout.jar,swing-layout-1.0.jar,,jdom.jar,,jep.jar"
width= 540  height= 300 >
<param name= language value= "en" >
</applet >

My question is where should this go in the files I've listed above? My
first guess in the resources/forms/parteditor_dragmath_template.xml as
this appears to be where the similar definitions are for the uploading
applet however the applet config code looks quite different here.


Cheers Tim (a CForms novice)

The compiled applet code should be put in your wikidata directory,
under {wikidata}/resources/local/ (or a subdirectory thereof).
In your template you should use something like ${mountPoint}/resources/local.
