Deploy extracted sh3d file in web application tomcat

[workvaani]

I have done the following configuration:

1. In sweetHome3d applet html file, set the parameters as below:
var parameters = {java_arguments:"-Xmx512m", readHomeURL:"%s", defaultHome:"demo"};

2. In the web application - extracted folder having contents of a demo.sh3d

When I run the application I get below error - stack trace:
I have tried adding different url's like file:/// [complete path] or http:// [folder] server path but still it is not able to open the extracted home folder. Please guide???

If defaultHome is "home", then readHomeURL should be "%s.sh3d", no?

[workvaani]

Thanks that works - but please confirm is it possible to use an extracted sh3d file and reference the folder name in the value of defaultHome? If yes - what configurations are required?.

Regards,

What do you mean by "extracted sh3d"???

[workvaani]

I had used 7zip to extract contents of sh3d file to a folder. Could these contents be used instead?.

[Puybaret]

No. Even if a sh3d file is based on zip format, don't extract the files it contains, it won't work with Sweet Home 3D.
