No, the RpfLayer can read data from within a jar. Sounds like a
configuration problem.

Hopefully someone with experience with signed applets would be able
to answer this for you.

Sure, you can specify the RPF directory as a URL and the frames will
be passed that way.

You would need to implement a LinkServer that provided the OMRasters
for CADRG data, but that would be slow, since the LinkLayer doesn't
know how to cache things from the server, and you'd be constantly
refreshing images with pans and zooms.
There is a CORBA solution for an RPF server in the src/corba tree
that includes the client layer and server, but that really requires
you to be familiar with CORBA configurations.

You could do that as well, but it depends on the connection speed of
the client and the size of the image you are sending (could be
slow). You would configure an ImageServer with a CADRG layer (to
start using a SimpleHttpImageServer), and use a SHISPlugIn to display
images from that image server. If the performance was acceptable,
then you would use the servlet to handle the connection requests for
the ImageServer instead of the SimpleHttpImageServer, which can't
handle heavy client loads.
