We created a WebApplication using WSAD 4.0.3

I have following applet-code in an html-file, loaded from within a servlet
using following statement:
      
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/ssi/Header.html").include(req,
 res);

This is a piece of the header.html:
<APPLET CODE="DropDownMenu.class" ARCHIVE="../WEB-INF/lib/DropDownMenu.jar" 
WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="30" style="font-size: 10px">
                <param name="appletbgcolor" value="FFFFFF">
                                <PARAM NAME="menubgcolor" VALUE="ffffff">
                                <PARAM NAME="textcolor" VALUE="000000">
                                <PARAM NAME="audio" 
VALUE="../MultiMedia/drip.au">
                                <PARAM NAME="textfile" 
VALUE="../Information.txt">
                                <PARAM NAME="fontface" VALUE="Arial">
                                <PARAM NAME="fontstyle" VALUE="plain">
                                <PARAM NAME="fontbold" VALUE="off">
                                <PARAM NAME="fontsize" VALUE="12">
                                <PARAM NAME="reset" VALUE="on">
                                </APPLET>

I  have place the 'DropDownMenu.jar' in 'WebApplication/WEB-INF/lib/' en
added the path to the 'classpath-file' of the application:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
    <classpathentry kind="var" path="SERVERJDK_PLUGINDIR/jre/lib/rt.jar"
        rootpath="src" sourcepath="SERVERJDK_PLUGINDIR/src.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="source"/>
    <classpathentry kind="var" path="WAS_PLUGINDIR/lib/j2ee.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="var" path="WAS_PLUGINDIR/lib/webcontainer.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="var" path="WAS_PLUGINDIR/lib/ivjejb35.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="var" path="WAS_PLUGINDIR/lib/websphere.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="lib"
path="webApplication/WEB-INF/lib/clipper.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="lib"
path="webApplication/WEB-INF/lib/jt400.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="lib"
path="webApplication/WEB-INF/lib/DropDownMenu.jar"/>
    <classpathentry kind="output" path="webApplication\WEB-INF\classes"/>
</classpath>

I the editor all seems ok, but while executing, I get following error in
console:

Any ideas why the class isn't found.
