[galaxy-dev] Applet and path concerns (local instance)

I currently have a Python script that outputs an HTML with an embedded Applet. The Java is installed under /tools/blah and I have the <Applet archive=../../../tools/blah> which should appropriately step out of the dataset space where the HTML wants to execute, but it returns 404's for the code. Is there something I am doing wrong? How can a returned HTML properly access the files I need? ---Tim Bonci
