can i load a class in subdirectoy inside a jar file using applet tag?

hi every one.. thank you for reading ... i am really in dire need for the solution..

my problem is that i have a jar file contianing a package which inturn contains my applet class...

i am trying to access this applet class using a applet tag in html file. this html file is in same directory as the jar file. i am having no problems in windows but when i am doing this in linux apache server i was getting class not found exception. (already checked the file permissions). and when i am successful when using simple package directory instead of jar file . so gist of my quesition is "can i load a class in subdirectoy inside a jar file using applet tag in a html file"?
