If you're using (or are willing to use) container managed security,
Nick's suggestion will work for that scenario. Add a security constraint
to your web.xml for the applet JAR. If you can't use container managed
security, you'll have to get rather more fancy, for example by providing
a servlet to serve up the applet and storing the JAR somewhere under
WEB-INF to prevent direct access.

Well, The exact problem is, my Applet.jar gets downloaded at the client
side, on request. But any person who knows the path of this JAR file, on the
server, can download this JAR. So, i was just thinking, if i can specify
somewhere that this JAR canot be downloaded unless an Authenticated user
tries to do it. It needs to be downloaded only after a person logs into the
system and clicks on the function to Upload Files( For which this JAR gets
downloaded).

I imagine that the same mechanism that protects a web directory would
work.
One example would be to specify in the web.xml for the container to
protect
a
given directory with authentication. See any book on servlets or JSP about
that one.
There are more sophisticated ways, but given the general nature of your
question, I would start with that general solution.

Can i specify in my Config Files(web.xml or struts-config.xml) that a
JAR
file cannot be downloaded without logging into the system??
