Enforcing JRE version for Applet does not work - 1.4.2

Hi,
Our application (Applet) requires JRE 1.4.2 .
I believe I need to use STATIC VERSIONING as we want the client desktop to ONLY use 1.4.2 for our applet.
So I followed the instructions mentioned in
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html#in-ie
and
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/versions.html
But for some reason the JAVA Installer fails to install the package.
It comes back with this pop-up error message:
Error - Java(TM) Installer
Unable to download http://java.sun.com/update/1.4.2/1.4.2-b28.xml for installation
Here is the jsp code snippet:

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Yeah, after hours of searching it must be so that my son has a 8GB i.e. a 2G version and mine just happens to be the 3G as I bought mine a month later....did not know how to know the difference but now solved, thnx.

    I recently moved to programming applets and this problem gave me many
    headaches. I know that the java compiler is supposed to compile with an
    appropriate version, but I suspect that there may be a few flaws in the
    system.
    Try compiling with a command like this to force a 1.1 compilation:
    "javac -target 1.1 yourfile.java"
    This enabled my applets to load in Netscape 4.6, something they wouldn't do before.
    Installing the java plugin seems to fix the problem on other browsers. This might
    be a new bug introduced by Java 1.4, since I had very few problems with
    Java 1.3...I dunno...that's speculation...

  • The Help Tab (OSX ML) where you search for something does not work

    If I click "Help" and then search "expand" it will show me where expand is. But in CS6 when I clicked it the command would go through and pull up the page to expand pixels. Instead, I have to go find it. It works in every other Adobe app I use except Photoshop CC.
    I am on the latest version and on CC

    Hi Peter
    Thanks a lot for your help (and sorry for not having answered quicker, but my boss gave me a more urgent task last week...).
    Anyway, I did what you suggested (re-importing into a brand new project), and then the search for synonyms really worked! But, being a sceptical person, I did the same with another project, and with that one, it did not work. So, what I did next was compare all the settings of these two projects, and I found a difference.
    RH8 now contains a function that's called 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' (I don't know the English expression, but have a look at the attached picture: this is a screen shot from the second page when I generate WebHelp). After having done several tests, I came to the following conclusions:
    Search for synonyms does not work in HTML-Help, but it does work in WebHelp (and maybe others, but they are not relevant for me, so I did not test them);
    Search for synonyms does only work, when the function 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' is NOT activated.
    Could maybe somebody test this, too, and post here whether my conclusions are really correct?
    Btw: This fact is not mentioned in the RH-Manual; actually, this function 'Teilzeichenfolgensuche' is not even mentioned there (at least not in the German edition)!!!
    Can hardly wait to see your feedback; thanks again for everybody's support!

  • Short key for copy does not work all the time now.

    After I have installed the latest OSX - Yosemite, my short key for copy does not work all the time.  It is infrequent how it works. I'm using the same keyboard that I have always used, my wireless logitech keyboard for mac.  Please help.

  • Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android does not work

    The reflow option in my Adobe reader for Android does not work. The PDF book I am trying to read is too wide to be legible when I fit it into the screen (even in landscape), but the reflow button doesn't change that. When I click it, nothing happens. The only thing I know to do is to uninstall and re-install, but that did not work. Any other tips or ideas?

    Mehwish,
    Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
    It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
    I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
    Thanks again for you help.

    when I click on a package body - I get "loading ..." below it but it never puts the
    procedure names in and the "loading ..."message stays in the tree view - however you do get to see the packages in the source window.
    Realise this is very much a work in progress and am grateful to see an early release such as this. Looking forward to the production release.
    Best regards,
    David.

    OK thanks for looking ....you've obviously got the fixes on your to do lists
    Noticed that the SQL tab when you select an object works fine - displays the
    DDL for the object
    Do you think you'll have functionality so you can select many objects (shift left click) and
    then create a DDL script for them? It looks like you can do this for all objects in a schema but
    the ability to select a subset of objects in a schema would be very useful for our DBA's.
    Couldn't see any good reason for keeping using SQLNavigator
    Many congratulations on producing such a useful tool.
    Kind regards,
    David.

  • Current Version Of Flash Does Not Work For Last 8 Months Or Longer

    So i make flash arcades that resides in a game called Second Life the flash player it used to work great till the updates not long ago i now have to tell each person wanting to play my arcades that they have to do the following to get it to work.
    Here Is The Quote
    This is a fix for people that can not move with arrow keys in game or other keys not working on the arcade it comes down to Adobe no fixing there code in there new version. Every now and again they release a new version of Flash Player and they break the code this here is a way to fix it so you can play the arcades in sl with out problems i am sorry it is taking Adobe so long to fix this i have no control over what they do i do hope they fix this soon.
    Step 1. Download the uninstaller for Flash Player http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
    The Flash Player uninstaller executes on both 64-bit and 32-bit version of the Windows operating systems.
    Save the file in a location where you can find it easily after you restart your computer. For example, save it on your Windows desktop.
    Step 2. Run the uninstaller
    Double-click the icon of the uninstaller that downloaded to your computer.
    Follow the prompts. If you see the message "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?," click Yes.
    Delete Flash Player files and folders.
    (more in depth directions with pictures can be found here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_t he_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller )
    Step 3. Installing a working version of Adobe Flash Player Flash Player 15.0.0.152 (Win Firefox and Mac) (132 MB)
    Direct Link http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_15.0.0.152_archive.zi p
    Save the file in a location where you can find it easily example, save it on your Windows desktop.
    Step 4. Unzip the file to your desktop if you do not know how to unzip a file you can google it. Or you can download a free app called winzip or winrar are well known apps.
    After you have unzipped the file you should be left with a folder called "fp_15.0.0.152_archive" open the folder and find the folder named "15_0_r0_152" ignore the folder that says debug on it.
    When you are insde the "15_0_r0_152" folder double click the file flashplayer15_0r0_152_win.exe it will be the red box there will be 3 red box icons its the top one you want to install.
    After you complete this action you have the choices to let adobe automatically update your flash player we recommend you say no to this then click finish. Now restart your pc and log into SL and it should be working 100% again.
    Notes:
    15.0.0.152 is the latest working version of Adobe Flash Player that we know of atm if there is a new version out please let us know.
    You may update your flash player and see if it is working on the latest version we recommend you check each month at least one time to see if they have done updates to the software.
    If it breaks again you will need to follow these steps again until they fix there code. Some times they fix the code by the next update some times they take a month or more just depends on the people at adobe that are releasing these bad versions of Flash.
    Link to Flash Archive http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    So i am wondering can some one pass this to a tech person to fix the current code what ever was in 15_0_r0_152 and before worked great now it don't work at all this is not some noob talking this has been tested on over 80+ different computers if not more 80 or more people have contacted me alone on the issue as i know it is one and to be honest i am getting sick of waiting on adobe to fix there code so please send this to the right department to see if they can fix there code and not let it fall on deaf ears. Or give me the exact reason why the new code does not work but the old code does work and i will see if i can fix it but i would rather it be fixed by Adobe as there are many people that want it fixed thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Deviant Taurus
    PS. This happened about 3 years ago and was fixed with the next update i do not recall the version number but you guys have been releasing many new versions and it is still broken please help me and many others put this problem to rest,

  • Applet does not work with a proxy server.URgent

    Hi,
    I have an asp page being hosted from a IIS server.

    Usually this error comes with a malformed URL.But the same code words without a proxy.Also I am not making any changes to my code in both scenarios that is with or without proxy.
    Please help.This is urgent and a showstopper

    Thanks for your nice solution, but unfortunatelly it does not work with lines longer than 100 chars with Netscape. It works fine with IE and appletviewer too.
    Example:
    I use this code:
    try {
                URL url = new URL(protocol,hostName,portNumber,URLstring);
                InputStream in = url.openStream();
                BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(in);
                StringBuffer input = new StringBuffer(60);
                int c;
                while ((c = bis.read()) != -1){
                    System.out.print((char)c);
                    input.append((char)c);
                bis.close();
                dataFromServer = input.toString();
            catch(Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }I use input file test.html with exactly 100 chars ('a')
    Netscape Java Console:
    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadataFromServer : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaI use input file test.html with exactly 101 chars ('a')
    Netscape Java Console:
    ?JL?yyxk?cedataFromServer : ?

  • Taking Z1 back to shops!! going back to Apple: Sony Bridge for Mac does not work

    Been an Iphone owner. really, really wanted to try a good  android phone, and the z1 looked the best. However
    I have had the most frustrating experience- this junky bridge software looks slick but it simply does not work on a mac .
    I have spent nearly a week mucking around on forums, reading technical 'get arounds' this is a £600 phone and its not good enough. It might be Apples fault for being so locked down, but sony should not claim it works when it has so many issues.
    1) it spent 3 days trying to load my media. It eventually got stuck on 10 min remaining. I pulled the cable.
    no contacts had even been added, however 1/2 the photos have, but they are a little jumbled up from when they were on my iphone.
    2) i try to download the lastest sony for Mac update 3 times- it cant even do this and gets stuck
    3) i then try to update the z1 with the latest software, again this also it gets stuck and hangs. OMG how can i update my software, do i have to buy a PC to go with the phone.
    im annoyed now and cant play with my new phone
    4) connect phone again and just ask it to do my notes, messages and contacts. This seems to work , but all the messages to my Girfriend are completley missing?? why?
    5) i try to load a few folders, the pictures on the bridge pop up window seem to freeze , ai cant even drag these across, the same happens with my music
    6) i have a lot of photos on my mac form my iphone 3000. If i choose to load them it only allows me to load all of them and not browse.
    can i avoid bridge and view my z1 as a drive? also why wont any of the software update?
    the next thing is it seems to have infected teh mac, the new version f itunes will not install correctly!! this is very unusual.
    some one please helpme before i rant in my blog!

    Hi Inventsc,
    I apologize for the late answer. I'm sorry you haven't had a pleasant experience using Bridge. We are aware of the problems you mention and are working on it. As mentioned, you can connect your phone in MSC (mass storage mode). To do this, disconnect the phone, find USB connectivity settings and set it to MSC mode before plugging it in again.
    Again, I am sorry it's not working properly for you.
    Best Regards,
    David

  • ICal: 'Open in Address Book' Function for 'Attendees' does not Work

    iCal lets you drag a Contact from Address Book to the 'Attendees' field of an iCal Event. (You can also put the information into the field by typing the first few letters of the person's name, and Address Book will automatically populate the field with contacts containing those letters.) When you click on a contact in 'Attendees' and select 'Open in Address Book', it is supposed to open the contact's information in Address Book (in case you needed their phone number, forgot their wife's name, etc.). In the previous version of iCal, this ALMOST worked; it would find someone in Address Book, but it would be the first person in your Address Book list with that first name; not always the person you wanted.
    The problem now is that when you click on a contact in 'Attendees' and select 'Open in Address Book', it simply opens the Address Book application and stops there; it does not go to the contact's data in Address Book. I sent Apple feedback on this problem 3 years ago, and again a few months ago, but it still does not work correctly. Does this work correctly for anyone?

    Mine actually performs the sync, but after a few rounds of syncing, some contacts get deleted, some get their photos removed, some get duplicated, and some get removed from groups. The sync basically puts my address book through a blender. I'm syncing both with MobileMe and Google. Well, that is I tried to. I've decided not to sync with Google since that's what seems to initiate the mess.
