JMF Applet doesn't work

Hi,
I've created my first real applet which is basically a mediaplayer. It loads a certain movie (.mpg) and plays it. This is the script i've used: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/samples/samples/SimplePlayerApplet.java
As you can see i've used JMF to create this applet. It works excellent on my computer (where JMF is installed). But whenever I try to execute this applet on a computer without JMF, it just doesn't work. The console gives the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/ControllerListener
and some more errors below that.
It seems like the applet runs only on PCs with JMF installed, because then the class javax/media/ControllerListener exists. Is there a way to make the applet so that it also runs on PCs without JMF installed?
Thanks,
betonboor

Try searching the Java Media Framework forum:
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=28&start=0
The question has been asked many times before, if I'm not mistaken. If you don't find an answer, try posting your question there.
Good luck.

Samson Softpre applet doesn't work under Leopard

I am a podcaster. I bought the Samson C01U microphone last year as I was told at that time it was the best in the entry-level for someone that was considering podcasting. There's an applet that is offered by Samson that allows Input Level Meter, Volume control, High-pass filter and Phase Switch. Every recording sounded great when I combine this applet with GarageBand.
Recently, I switched to Leopard and the applet doesn't work anywore. Worse, recording audio with that mic gives me radically inferior quality. When I asked Samson about that matter, the support tech guy told me that there was no intention on porting this software on the new operating system, with the following: "The Soft Pre applet is merely a volume control. There is no difference in sound with or without the Soft Pre. All Samson USB mics were designed to be fully operational without the Soft Pre applet."
I've googled the matter several times with no one else noticing the matter but myself. Christoph Drösser on a previous discussion told me that he had no such problem, but the difference between his setup and mine is that he upgraded to Leopard while mine was a fresh install. Anyone else in a similar situation?

Hi,
I had the same problem. I use an external monitor. It seems that the Applet simply disappeared after using my monitor.
I opened Samson SoftPre, turned on my external monitor! Eureka. Here is my Applet. I moved it in the middle of my desktop to make sure it would not hide again. Once, you get it back make sure to either close the Applet before quitting the external monitor.

Applet doesn't work with JRE1.4.1_01

Hi,
I have an applet embedded in a remote-server page. It can be loading from the server and running in the local computer with Jre1.3.1. After I uninstalled jre1.3.1 and installed JRE1.4.1_01. My applet doesn't run. Here is the message from Java Consol:

I copy the my html file which has this applet built-in to my local computer. The webpage can be openned and the applet running fine even with jre1.4.1. Why it didn't run with Jre1.4.1 and it did run with jre 1.3.1 when loading remotely? Could someone tell me what the above messages mean? Is this a bug from Jre1.4.1_01?
Thanks,
Kunlun

Hello
i am facing the same problem. when i run my java applet using localhost.. it does not work and shows the same exceptions

Applet doesn't work!

Hello,
I create an applet from a book. It works in JBuilder4 at home. But when I try to post it on MSFrontPage at home or on the Internet with IE5.5, it doesn't work. It just shows grey applet display with error message "Class SquareInt not found".
When I checked the class name, and the path it seemed OK to me. But have no idea why it doesn't work.
The strange thing, if I replace the applet into simple applets, such as "HelloWorld.class", it always works.
Please help! Thanks.....

Here is the output of my programs:

If i were to make a guess, i'd say it had to do with the name of the file.
Jbuilder puts things in packages. javaClass.myclass.
for instance. This, as far as i can tell, will look for a directory called javaClass in whatever directory on the webserver the HTML resides, and look in there for myclass.class.
to be honest, i've not totally figured out how it works, but this may give you something to look at.
Also, be sure you have the java plugin installed correctly for ie5.5.

My applet doesn't work on Linux

I've heard from some people working on Linux platform that my applet http://astro.ia.uz.zgora.pl/~nirgal/psren.htm doesn't work even if they have proper JRE plugin installed. The same people can run other applets on other web sites. The applet works good on Windows platform browsers.
Dear Linux users, do you have any ideas about this issue?

Ok, I hope the code of the main applet class will help to solve the problem. Surely there is some bug (because other applets work). But I'm curious why it runs well on Windows at the same time?

Getting JAR file for Applet doesn't work

Hi,
We have the following problem: we have some clients who want to use our applet. There are some clients that have problems with receiving the .jar file:
When the applet tries to start we get a ClassNotFoundException: 'prestaties.class' not found. (the client wants to acces the class file directly from the server)
If we check the .jar file, it exists on the client, but the file is empty.
What could be the problem?
- PRoxy or firewall blocks the jar file
- applet doesn't have enough rights to write.
Does anyone a solution, some workarounds or suggestions for this problem.
Thanks!
Luk

Hi,
Thanks for answering my question!
Here is the extra information you asked.
At server side everything is OK (the jar file is present and has all the class files).
Where working with Weblogic server 4.51
The clients run JRE 1.3.0-C
I can't give you the applet code (confidential) but here is the html code:

Brightness gnome-applet doesn't work....

Hi,
my brightness gnome-applet doesn't wok in my sony vaio vgn s5m....
how to resolve?
thanks.

Nm-applet doesn't work

Hello.
When I boot my computer and start up Fluxbox, nm-applet doesn't show up in the tray area. It's running, but doesn't show up and doesn't connect me automatically (which it was set to do last time I saw it). If I try to kill it and start it manually via the terminal, I get this:
[jmy@x110 ~]$ nm-applet --sm-disable
** (nm-applet:1549): WARNING **: get_all_cb: couldn't retrieve system settings properties: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files.
** (nm-applet:1549): WARNING **: fetch_connections_done: error fetching system connections: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files.
Now, most people with this problem seem to have their rc.conf daemons set up wrong, but I'm fairly certain this should work:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network !netfs dbus hal networkmanager crond sensors alsa)
What am I missing here? I don't want to have to connect manually every time I start up my computer.

I still have this problem. Can anyone help me?
If it's to any help, it works just fine when I run xfce4 (except it doesn't show in the tray, but w/e) instead of fluxbox, for some reason, so I guess there's something that needs to run which doesn't in fluxbox. But I dunno
EDIT: nvm. Got it working. I was using this fix: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=63576 while trying the ck-launch-session stuff mentioned above and in other threads. Restored the original configuration files, and voila!

Java applet doesn't work

The website I use for developping my photos use a Java applet for the upload of pictures. When I try to use it with Firefox, it doesn't work but when I tried with Safari it worked.
As I use Firefox all the time and not Safari, I would like to make it work there too.
I tried by disabling all add-ons but it didn't make any difference. How can I fix it?

I have enabled the Java console from the java control panel.
And the error was:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" "modifyThread")
So I went to my java.policy file located in java.home/lib/security/ and I wrote the following
grant codeBase "url or file where the applet is" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "modifyThread";
And now the applet is working.
Again, thank you for your support.

Clickme applet doesn't work

I've been through all of the threads and can't find out why it doesn't work. The applet loads in both IE an with the appletviewer, but in both cases, the red dot does not appear.
I have modified my classpath to include C:\jdk1.3.1_04\lib; and .;
I have changed settings in the java plug-in control panel applet.
The applet sometimes blinks and shows a hazy grey line across the box, as if it is trying to do something, but it never works.
Any help is appreciated.
Here is the html:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> The ClickMe Applet </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<applet code="ClickMe.class" width="300" height="150"></applet>
</BODY>
</HTML>

No dice. Adding the full directory path made it worse, now the applet won't load at all.
I can't even get the hello world app to print on the command line.
Last friday, it worked and now it doesn't. Its like my path or classpath is not being recognized or something.
I wanted to learn a "real" language, but maybe I should just stick with Perl :)
At least I can make it work.

Upgrate from jdk 1.3 to jdk 1.4, applet doesn't work anymore

Hello,
I have several applications that work with the default virtual machine that is installed in the browser. When I updated my virtual machine to jdk 1.3 everything was still ok. But when I updated it now to jdk 1.4 several of these applets doens't work anymore. I allways get the message class not found. Does anyone know the reason or a solutions for this.
I know that in the beginnen of jdk 1.4 most of the applets didn't work on 1.4. But that problem was solved.
Thanks for the reply.

I might be having the same problem. Is the class the first one [the applet] or a subsequent one and if so is it in the same directory or a different one?
What does your applet html code look like i.e CODE= ???? CODEBASE= ????

My applet doesn't work, boo hoo

Hi there,
I've written an aapplet to give a search ability to a CD, it just read a data file and outputs stuff.
It works fine on my computer, but not on any others...
All I get on the browser is a Class Not Found for the applets class.
I'm using JDK1.4.1.01 to compile it.
can somebody help
Loob

yup, that was it... I feel so stuupid.
also,
the applets got to work in ie4+ and in Netscape6+
so what would be the best way to embed the applet ?
the APPLET tag
or the EMBED and OBJECT tag
thanks

JFileChooser applet doesn't work on all platforms

We have a signed Java applet which works perfectly on Windows XP and Linux but malfunctions on Windows 7 and MacOS 10.5.
The part which does not work is opening up a JFileChooser (which opens up fine) which then permits the user to browse local files only but not folders on network drives. When the user double-clicks on a network folder or clicks the Open button, nothing happens. The folder is not opened and there are no exceptions reported in the console.
Obviously it presents as some kind of security violation/exception but, as I said, there are no exceptions in the console and it works fine on some OSes but not others. I have examined the permissions on a folder that does open and one that doesn't (i.e. a network folder) and they certainly are different but I can't spot any obvious problems. All machines have the exact same version of Java (i.e. 1.6.0_20) and it doesn't appear to a 32-bit vs. 64-bit issue as there is a mix of architectures that are working and not working.
Can anyone suggest how I might go about debugging this or perhaps suggest a resolution? Given that the code that is being executed at the time is Swing code and not application code I am at a bit of a loss as to how to solve this problem.
The Logical Animal

It could be the JFileChooser code is being altered or displayed on a thread other than the EDT. OTOH that more typically manifests as a random bug on instances of the application on all platforms/JREs.

Applet doesn't work if regional setting is not US.

Hi
Mine applet works file if the regional setting is English (US). But If the regional setting is changed to French or japnese it gives problem due to diffrent time Zone.
ex. 20-MAY-2004 as per US setting is interpreted as 21-MAY-2004 in French regional setting
Below is the methods which give value as "20-MAY-2004" in US regional setting ( set from control panel to English US) but give value as 21-MAY-2004 if regional setting is changed to French.

PSWkEnding = conn.prepareStatement(sWkEnding);
sWkEndingDate = "";
RSWkEnding = PSWkEnding.executeQuery();
if(RSWkEnding.next()) {
sWkEnding = RSWkEnding.getString(1).toUpperCase(Locale.US);
System.out.println(" Before Closing...###### " +RSWkEnding.getString(1).toUpperCase(Locale.US));
PSWkEnding.close();
System.out.println(" Before Returing .......#####"+sWkEnding);
return sWkEnding;
else {
PSWkEnding.close();
return null;
catch (Exception e) {
return null;
} /* End if FindCtWeekEndingDate */
Locale.US doesn't helpout in this case and giving same results.
Any idea what need to donne...
Thanks,

Hi,
I am not sure why you have to use SQL to get week end date
You can do it with much ease using Java Calendar class
Here is sample code of getting the weekend date ....
// get the current date
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
// set the week starting
calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.SUNDAY);
// set the day of the week as week end and get the date
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK,Calendar.SATURDAY);
// you can also get the month / year
System.out.println(" weekend day is " + calendar.get(Calendar.DATE));
If you decide to create a date-time formatter with a specific format pattern for a specific locale, you can do so with:
new SimpleDateFormat(aPattern, new DateFormatSymbols(aLocale)).

HT5642 Java applet doesn't work on my Mac

I have the new Mountain Lion 10.82 software version on my Mac as I needed it to be able to use java applet update 11. I downloaded and installed the security fix java update 11 on 27th January 2013 and it worked for a couple of days fine but now a sign with "blocked plug-in" appears. Even after installing it again it doesn't seem to work. Could anybody please help me?

There's apparently another security bug in Java.
Depending on what you're working with, you may be able to download and invoke the application outside of the browser — such as can be done with Minecraft — or you can both enable the Java JVM plug-in within the browser and also disable the version-check defenses in Xprotect (see the comments here for details) that are blocking the Java webstart stuff (again), if you need to run that stuff from the web browser.
Otherwise, Oracle will likely be providing an update to block the most recent attacks.
There are two other potential wrinkles here, where the Java JVM web plug-in disables itself after some interval of non-use, and there are also diagnostics issued when launching an app that isn't signed by a developer ID from Apple. Java checks for its own signatures, and Apple checks for its signatures, and the Java apps aren't signed with the Apple keys.
