Java Plugin (JRE1.4.2 +) Autodownload

In the good old days, we used to be able to get our users to automatically download the correct version of the javaplugin if and when they tried to use an applet that requires that version. Using version 1.3 of the Java Plugin, this is how we used to do it from a jsp:plugin tag
For netscappe
nspluginurl="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/plugin-install.html"
For IE
iepluginurl="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0"
Does anyone know how to still do this today to automatticaly download JRE 1.4 or later. Is there still an autodownload cab file somewhere on the javasoft website. The only way I have seen how to do JRE version 1.4 or later is the following
For Netscape :-
nspluginurl="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html"
For IE :-
iepluginurl="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html"
While the above methods take the user to the download page, there is a multitude of other downloadable software on the site (including the j2se JDK and NetBeans) and our poor will have to plough through the dense site to find the JRE that they need, something more synonymous with finding a needle in a haystack than anything else.
Please help.
Melody

I have since found a link that has all the urls for .cab files for most of the JRE's. I have had success getting the autodownload. The installation is however screwy once the installation files have been downloaded. Some message pops up at the end of the install and says that the .cab files that was downloaded cannot be found and you just cannot get past that stage. I have had problems in Mozilla, Firefox and IE. If anybody finds an answer please let me know.

Trying to download the Java Plugin is an impossible situation ! Help ! !

Dear People,
You cannot believe what I have been through trying to do a first applet !
A long time ago downloaded a version of the plugin (a cup of coffee icon in the control panel). Then recently I downloaded a new version
(1.4.1_01) (a second cup of coffee icon in the control panel)
Well I was not able to run my first applet after creating a good
batch file (with help of course) named javacompile:
echo off
cls
PATH=C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01;C:\j2sdk1.4.0_0\bin;C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\lib;C:\WINDOWS\jbproject\objectdraw.jar
javac -classpath C:\WINDOWS\jbproject\objectdraw.jar;C:\WINDOWS\jbproject %1
my program MakeBox.java compiles ok at the Dos prompt
when I open the MakeBox.html in the browser the error message says:
"The required component is not available for this version of windows"
I was told to uninstall the plugin and download it again
So I took 50 minutes to download it and the message said:
"You already have the jre1.4.0_01 do you want to uninstall ?"
so I said "no" ... was this an idiot move on my part?
then it continued to download the plugin and when it was done it said:
"You already have the java plugin, do you want to uninstall it?"
I answered "no"....was this also an idiot move on my part??
What to do ?
totally confused

Dear People,
I just received an e-mail letter from the author of
"A Eventful Approach" Thomas Murtagh ! ! !
The most advanced Java paradigm text for Java beginners ! !
http://applecore.cs.williams.edu/~cs134/eof/
Even though his letter is very clear, my brain doesn't know what
to do in the context of compiling at the Dos prompt, (trying to do my
first applet). Below is the letter and then the code to MakeBox.java
and MakeBox.html Please shed some light for me.
Thank you in advance
Stan
I meant that in our definition of the WindowController class, we said:
public class WindowController extends Applet {
So, when you say
public class MakeBox extends WindowController {
the MakeBox class you define is (indirectly) an Applet. In particular,
with most Java programming environment, you can run the program as an
applet (i.e. using Sun's appletviewer or JBuilders applettestbed).
Tom
Here is the code:
import objectdraw.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class MakeBox extends WindowController
public void init()
this.setSize(new Dimension(400,300));
public void onMousePress(Location point)
new FilledRect(40,80,30,20,canvas);
<html>
<head>
<title> Make Box
</title>
<body>
<applet
codeBase = "."
code = "MakeBox.class" width = 300 height = 200 >
</applet>

Is it possible to provide autoinstallation of only java plugin not full jre

Hi all
I m using the HTML convertor to convert the html pages to deploy the applet in a mixed browser enviornment and also to autodownload the java plugin. It takes quite sometime for the autoinstall the plugin. Is it possible to provide the autodownload only te java plugin and not the full jre.
Thanks in advance for the reply

No, the "plug-in" is just an ActiveX/BHO/Browser Extension/etc object (they've all been used) in the browser. The JRE does the work and is required.

The application is working fine before recent update from firefox .Now it's not working and keep on asking additional plug in required and taking to java.sun.com for installing the plug in.

I tried uninstalling the firefox with the older version and with diffrent java plugin versions.. but the problem still there.. any help will be mush appriciated...
Thanks...

These are targeted to 6u12 or there abouts.

Fedora 13: After upgrading from FF3.6 to FF6.0.2 I no longer have a Java plugin. How do I configure the Java Plugin for FF 6 ? There is no Java Plugin at the site

I am Fedora 13x64 bit. I just installed FF v6.0.2 from the FF download site. I backed up the existing FF 3.6 as firefox_old
I need to have a Java plugin to access company site, how do I configure the Java Plugin ?
At the Plugin area in FF6 there is no Java Plugin available, even after a search.
I have Java 1.6.0 installed in the OS at:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
I googled how to configure Java Plugin for FF 6 for Fedora 13 and the trick was to create a soft link from /home/<userID>/.mozilla/plugins to the above libnpjp2.so

Any steps that you can take to isolate the problem to specific Java versions, browsers, applets, web sites, operating systems (and versions), etc, would enhance the possibility of getting help.
You can try the applets at this Sun location and see if any of them are "slow".

Java Plugin 1.3.1 on RedHat Linux 7.1

I downloaded and installed the Java SDK 1.3.1 for linux.
When I try to view an applet written in Netscape I get the following error message on the bottom left corner of the browser window:
ClassdefError javax.japplet not found.
However, I can see the applet in the appletviewer.
In order to install the plugin I did the following:
I removed the old plugin:
rm -fr $Home/.netscape/.java
rm $Home/.netscape/plugin/javaplugin.so
Then, to install the plugin I set the netscape environment variable :
export NPX_PLUGIN_Path = /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/bin/plugin/ns4/javaplugin.so
How can I tell whether the netscape 4.7 browser is using this plugin??
Could someone please tell me what is causing the error?? Please be very specific, I am new to RH Linux.
Thank You

try to make a link to your java plugin from netscape plugin directory:
cd your_netscape_dir/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/bin/plugin/ns4/javaplugin.so try to fid netscape dir in /usr/lib/netscape/ or /usr/local/netscape ..

I am running 10.5.8, and just updated my java to java 5 update10. Now my firefox is missing the Java plugin, and I can't load any Java applet at all. When I try it with Safari, it hangs when certain Java applet loads. HELP!!!

Suddenly my Java plugin is missing and i can't load any Java with Firefox at all, even though i have it enabled in the browser! i've tried loading in java embedding plugin, but it doesn't work. what should i do???

It's not in Tools> Add-ons >plugins? Should be Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers 13.5.0. What are you seeing there? I don't think it's called the embedding plugin any longer.
Might try getting the Firefox 5 standalone application. Trash the current one and replace it. Doing this won't affect your Profile or any settings.

If it's enabled, how can it be missing?

I am using oracle Apps ERP in firefox wherein there is a Java Plugin , This is working fine in 3.5 version but as soon as i am upgrading to the latest version oracle is not working and firefox crashes. I can't upgrade even though i wish to

We are using Oracle ERP in our company which is a web based ERP system. I am using firefox to work in ERP for convinieince pf working and using internet at the same time. This requires a plugin provided by oracle oajinit.exe to be installed in Plugins it is a JAVA plugin which opens the ERP Screens. This works fine in versions prior to 3.6 version of firefox. However, after upgrading to 3.6 version the forms do not open and firefox crashes. Due to this i am not able to upgrade to the latest version else i'll have to operate the ERP in internet explorer and using firefox for browsing which i do not want. The plugin used for the ERP is "* JInitiator 1.3.1.18 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)"

Firefox 3.6 needs the Java Second Generation Plugin which comes with newer versions than 1.6.0_03 - update Java, the latest version is 1.6.0_22

Hi there!
I'm having a major problem with running Java plugin on all of my browsers (Opera, Chromium and Firefox) under my Arch Linux 64-bit system.

Sun/Oracle's Java Runtime Environment
Any ideas how to solve this?

Java plugin causing Firefox to crash

I installed the newest Java plugin today and it asked me to restart Firefox. Now it crashes as soon as I open it. It will not open in Safe Mode because it won't stay open for more than half a second. I tried re-installing it and restarting my computer and it's having the same problem. I can't open about:crashes because it won't stay open.

Make sure that you've installed the 32 bit Java version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

How can we install the Java Plugin from the html page

Hi,
I am using java plugin 1.3.1_02 for my applet pages.
How can I install that plugin in the client machine without installing manually.
I used,
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width="600" height="400" align="middle"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,1,2">
<PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="SignedAppletDemo.class">
<PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="SSignedApplet.jar">
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
</OBJECT>
But it is downloading java plugin 1.3.1_03.
Can anybody help me
Thanks & Regards
Raja

Using object tags is the correct way and only way to download the plugin and let the client decide whether he can download it r not. There is no way to install automatically
I dont think there is a way to install automatically without a user intervention coz, it can open the floodgates for potential hackers.
Can u cite an example about which programs can be installed automatically and why do u want the plugin to be installed automatically?

I have windows 7 64bit. When i installed firefox and then java, i do not have java tm platform or any java plugin. I can't watch free movie's online!!

As i told i have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit version. I install java and have problems with Java Deployment Toolkit and Java(TM) Platform SE. It won't show in add-on. I cant watch movies. When I play movie it says java is missing but when I use IE I can watch some movies. I try reinstaling Java and even reinstall Windows. But problem was still there. I run java check (from Firefox) to see if java is installed and it confrmed. I even try diferent versions of Java and Mozilla. I even use JDK and JRE. I install java for 64bit and mozilla is also for 64bit version of system.
I have another laptop with 32 bit version and everything works great. Installation procedure was same (only used 32bit versions of softwares).
When I go to control panel and java options (windows 64bit) enable java content in your browser is marked. But in advanced tab default java for browser (mozilla family) is unmarked. And when I mark box and leave (apply then ok) and return box is empty. It wont confirm. In 32bit version of laptop i have alsou java plugin but in 64 bit it is not there. Here is a picture what I was talking about. This is on windows 32 bit for 64bit is some just box for mozilla family is empty and under that java plugin do not exist.
[code]http://s23.postimg.org/dl4dun4p7/Untitled.jpg[/code]
hope someone have solution!!

you don't have to reinstall firefox or java, you can just download and install the 32bit-java next to your currently installed java version. it should then be picked up by firefox and be displayed under firefox > addons > plugins...

Does Firefox support java applets if the "Next generation plugin" is disabled via the Java plugin control panel.

I'm still trying to get a definitive answer to this question.
My applet is not "Next Generation compliant". When we run our applet in Internet Explorer it runs fine as long as we disable the "Next Generation Plugin" via the Java plugin control panel. However our applet does not run in Firefox if the "next generation applet" is disabled.
Is it a requirement that if I want to run an applet in Firefox 3.6.x or higher that the "next generation plugin" be enabled via the Java plugin control panel.

Current Firefox versions (3.6 and later) can only run Java applets via the Next Generation plugin.
