[Jython-users] Trying to build an applet

[<tim...@co...>]

I'm sure that this is a simple problem, but I'd appreciate a relevant
pointer.

I've got a simple jython app that I want to make an applet, so that I
can run it from any machine. It uses the xml parser (from
xml.sax.make_parser).

Aside from non-urgent issues, like java.swing.Japplet not working
(ClassCastException), when I compile this with jythonc, I can't seem to
get all the bits together to get an xmlparser working (I've had to grab
a more recent version of pyxml's sax and replace the one that comes with
jython 2.1) when I compile to a jar (jythonc -a --jar jarfile.jar
file.py) and then try java -jar jarfile.jar file, I get a
'SAXReaderNotAvailable: No parsers found' exception. If I try to build a
jar of what is the default loaded parser from the interpreter
(xml.sax.drivers2.drv_xmlproc), and include this in the classpath, I
then get 'ImportError: cannot import name xmlval' (I'm using -a flag and
that module being created).

Any thoughts? (I'd hoped that this would be painless, and up to here
jython has been painless :-) )
