Mozilla 1.4.2 and Java Applets on Linux

Hello,
Does anyone have clue as to why the newest version of java does not work on Mozilla -1.4.2 on linux.
I went to java.com and downloaded the jre. Followed all the setup instructions TWICE. Still no java. I look in the help/plugins and see the flash plugins are working great but no java. It's enabled in the advanced preferences and I have the .so file in the plugins directory. Anybody have a clue???
Thanks for any help in advance,
-Wiley

[root@localhost mozilla]# ./mozilla
You're using the 'root' account to do normal work?????-------------------------------------------
Yes I did do that when I su root to create a symbolic link. Maybe I strayed and installed something as root. That should not have corrupted my system.
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.soThis was something I tried as last ditch efforts. THIS is the link that is created when in version 1.7 of mozilla you go to a page that has an applet. It gives you a download window that askes if you want to download the plugin. I'm using the LATEST version of java and this link does not exist obviously.
Now I've given up on the "pop-up/ install applet plugin becuase it does not work." THIS IS THE LINK CREATED BY THE "INSTALL PLUGIN WINDOW in version mozilla 1.7 when you hit an applet page".... which I have removed it all becuase its worthless too.
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Also - The directions given on LINUX INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS on the http://www.java.com download page are worthless.
I've gone in as a normal user not root and nothing works.
this is where my link is....
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
this is where it points to....
<java-home>/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
this is how it was created in the mozilla plugins directory
ln -s <java-home>/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
If you look at the installation instructions again, I have followed them to a T.
these are the errors associated with the worthless"Download Plugin option" which has been removed and I'm back to creating the symlink manually again which does not work.
libXext.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This sounds like you may be missing some important software libraries or that they are too old. Which >distro are you using?
If you have only recently installed them you may need to run "ldconfig" so that the runtimelinker can find >them. It should NOT be this big of a headache when I recently installed redhat enterprise 3 workstation - then I updated the system with the "updates" option for redhat that downloads all recent and available updates.
installed the jre - then I tried to see an applet in mozilla. Thats it.
IT DOES NOT WORK. If it works for someone out there with the latest JRE and mozilla-1.4.2 or 1.7 thats great but I can't seem to figure why I can't get it to work........
thanks,
-Wiley

Mozilla 1.4.2 and Java Applets on Linux Red Hat

Which Java version are you trying to install? The version of Mozilla you use doesn't matter, although I think 1.6 is quite a bit faster than 1.4. I haven't bothered to upgrade to 1.7, I'll upgrade to 1.8 when it's released ...
The j2sdk comes with several libjavaplugin_oji.so files for different configurations. To which one does the link in the plugins dir point?
With 1.4.2 the link must be to <java-home>/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
With 1.5.0 beta 2 <java-home>/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN JAVASCRIPT AND JAVA APPLET: US$20 AWARD FOR SOLUTION!

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN JAVASCRIPT AND JAVA APPLET PROBLEM (Easy Filter Java Applet) -
US$20 TO ANYONE WHO CAN RESOLVE THE PROBLEM
To forum visitors:
I am prepared to pay a standard shareware fee of US$20 to a user who can resolve this technical problem.
If your advice resolves the problem, I'll forward the payment to your postal address (include your
address with your reply, and also your email address)
I am attempting to enable a HTML button (using Javascript's onClick command) to directly input a number into one of the parameter text boxes in the Easy Filter Java applet (ie, enter a new color value number in the text field of the standard Colors Multiplicator Filter interface).
The applet is Freeware and can be downloaded at: http://www.javazoom.net/applets/easyfilter10/EasyFilter10.html
(It is a very effective bitmap display and editing utility)
To achieve this, I am trying to access the part of the applet that defines and sets the textbox. The text box is defined in the .class file by accessing the parameter details in the genericfilter.txt file (accompanies the .class files). I need to access 'private String appletInitialize()' and then one of the 'textFieldParameters' which sets the textbox.
I understand the basic syntax for referencing the applet:
document.appletname.setString("An example"). However, accessing the text fields in this applet is more complex!!
Please can you recommend the correct Javascript syntax to achieve communication with the applet.
Thank you for your kind assistance.

What're the differences between JSP, Java Script, and Java Applet?

I am confused by the concepts: JSP (Java Server Page), Java Script, and Java Applet? What are their main differences?

I don't know about differences, but one of their main similarities is that each of them has a page in Wikipedia.
JSP
JavaScript
[Java applet|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_applet]
There. That should give you enough information.

Greek lettets and java applet???

Hello,
I'm using Linux and i have a problem with the greek letters on the java applets on web pages....
instead of greek letters i see little squares...
i don't have much experience nor with linux neither with java.........
(Sorry for my bad english)
can u help me please?

Are you using a browser on the Linux box and it can not display the Greek letters in the applets?
Or is the Linux box running a servlet engine and is there a problem with the HTML pages and the applets coming from it?

General doubt about devices and java applets

I have one general doubt abt devices.
Do all devices come with an SDK so that any language can interact with them?.
Whats does it mean if i say that i need to build a CAB file for the devices
and use them in my html object tag.
Can programming languages like java(applets) or asp interact with devices
once if we specify the classid and the cab file location(codebase)

Let me make it more clear
What i need is if we r using an ActiveX Component then we pack the .ocx and inf file into a cab file and give the location of the CAb file in the codebase attribute of object tag.
When the browser renders the page, it will look into the classid attribute of object tag to see whether there is an entry in registry if not it will go to the location specified in the codebase and get it registered locally.
As you know ActiveX works on windows.
I want to implement the same thing in a platform independent way.
So i chose java applets.
Now i don't know what to do in this codebase part.
i need to install the device driver files and all from the server once a person view the web page.
when we use activex the classid field represents the device's entry but when we use applets thats the version of java being installed.
Can any one suggest an idea to move.

Weblog and Java Applet

Hi
I am searching for weblog providers that uses Java applets for writing and displaying weblogs . Please tell me about such sites . Thanks

DirectX and Java Applet

Hi
can some provide some information on how to use directx input with java applet for controlling devices.
Max

It won't work in an Applet. At least not without you shelling out hundreds of dollars to get a trusted certificate from Verisign or Thwate. And even if you do get your certificate, you're most likely to have quite a few issues and quite a few pissed off users. Now if you went for an application, you could go to http://games.dev.java.net/ and download JInput (http://jinput.dev.java.net/).

The difference between Java webstart and Java Applet?

Hi all!
I'm preparing deploy my application. But I'm in two minds I should deploy My application follow Java Webstart model or Java Applet Model.
if i deploy application by using Java webstart then what will I get benefit? and otherwise?
Could you tell me some advices?
Thanks!

Applet runs in the context of a browser, Webstart requires a small piece of software to be installed on the client and then when you click on your link/icon webstart downloads your application from the server and runs as a Java application (not within a browser).

.htaccess and Java applets

I've got a Java applet that is created by an index.html page.
The index.html file is protected by a .htaccess file. When the applet loads, I am then prompted each time a new class loads for the .htaccess username and password.
Needless to say, this is a tedious process.
How do I get the .htaccess protection to work for disallowing unauthorized access to index.html, but not have the application's users prompted each time the JVM wants to load a class?
Server: Apache
OS: RH7
JVM: 1.3.1
The jar files are not stored in the same directory as the index.html file.
TIA,
Mike

I have not seen a solution to this yet. I did see one post that indicated it was a bug that was fixed in 1.4.2_05, but I have 1.4.2_06 and still I get a dialog asking for a username/password for the HTML page and another dialog asking for the username/password for the applet.
Any ideas? This is very annoying.
Thanks,
Steve

Java Applets not working using IE 6 after uninstalling software

I uninstalled some software on WinXP using Add/Remove, however the software still left remnants on my system. I tried to removing all the entries in the registry with RegEdit....I will confess I am a rookie with that tool, however now IE 6 will not launch Java Applets on the web sites I visit.
I also have Mozilla Firefox 8 installed and Java Applets work fine using that browser. Do I have to reinstall WinXP to correct IE 6, or is there an easier alternative?
Thanks for any suggestions
Gerry

Please check out in the IE Explorer Tools--> Internet Options --> in this Advanced tab this will display you with the set of options and chceck boxes...
in that please check out that whether the Java(SUN) --- (USe Java....<applet> Requires reStart...
is existing or not if existing please check it and restart the system.
if it is not existing in your broser then you have to install the JRE in the system for your Applet to work..
That can be downloaded form...

Here go for windows....

Java plugin doesn't work, even though it's installed correctly and java programs work.

As stated. I have a link in ~/.mozilla/plugin that points to test/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so, which is the java 6 update 21 runtime environment.
Java doesn't show in about:plugins, and java applets don't start (firefox suggests to install missing plugins).
Java programs using the jre outside the browser work.
This is on Linux 32-bits, Slackware 13.0, kernel 2.6.34.

Where did you read that?<br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java<br />
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

Intel Mac Mini, Firefox and Java

I'm running an Intel Mac Mini using Firefox; mostly it's fine, but sometimes it behaves as if it and Java Applets have had a falling out.
I have made sure that I have the very latest version of JRE to go with OSX, but when I go to http://www.f1.com and log on to "Live Timing", the frame comes up, but no steaming teacup, then the bottom LH corner says "Done", but the timing area is still blank. Live timing works in Safari & Opera on the same computer, and on any PC running IE6.
Going to the help section on the live timing box says to go to download the latest version of JRE from the Apple.com website - if I try to do this, OSX refuses the download saying it is older than the version already installed.
I have sent questions to both Sun & Mozilla weeks ago, but have received no reply; any ideas?

Dont really have any solution other than the fact that some browsers act funny on certain sites. I think it is specific to the browser, not the computer itself. I have encountered the same thing with certain applets. Also just wanted to give a shoutout from another F1 fan. Good season so far, I think Alonso has the Chin's number this year.
