Remember that the browser is going to request those .class files
the same way it requests images and other resources! NOT through 
your servlet but through the normal web server request.

You could set the codebase to a normal directory but that
still leaves a problem in loading images, etc.

I suggest putting a <base> tag in the <head> area of the HTML
page pointing to a normal web server directory.
