It depends upon which application server you are using.

But assuming you have are running on tomcat configured as per Alfresco's guidelines.
You should have set up a "shared/lib" folder alongside your "shared/classes" folder. put your Jar in there.

ok,
and then how can i activate it from the ftl?
i tryed the following in my ftl
<html>
<body>
<applet code=PDFTest.class archive="/alfresco/scripts/Test/MyCreatePdf.jar, /alfresco/scripts/Test/iText-2.1.5.jar" width="300" height="20">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
My application is not a java applet app so i get the following error:
java.lang.ClassCastException: PDFTest cannot be cast to java.applet.Applet
   at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(Unknown Source)
   at sun.plugin.AppletViewer.createApplet(Unknown Source)
   at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(Unknown Source)
   at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
   at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

is it possible to start my class without an applet or do i have to change my code?

thanks

ok,

it works local but not when i include it into the ftl.
maybe a java version problem.

thanks
