Question

Hi,
I'm trying to write an applet that uses a rewritten version of ISNetworks SCP. My applet is used to scp a single file to a server. I dynamically need to name the file(when written on server), so the html that calls the applet is dynamically generated (in a servlet) & feeds the applet the filename(as a param). It works great the first time around. But I want users to be able to reuse this applet as they need. My applet is signed, so the security warning pops up the first time it is used. The next time the applet is run -- it just freezes (it & the browser). I have searched the forums& I see people have had the same type of problem for years (at least back to 1997) --- the jar is cached & the old applet is reused instead of the applet being reloaded. I see no answers in the Forum. The only fix so far is to close down the browser(ie or netscape) totally & restarting again. Here is my applet code
package heather;
import java.io.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import mindbright.ssh.*;
public class SCAROUpload extends Applet {
String filename;
Frame frame;
AUSSHSCPDialog dialog;
SSHPasswordAuthenticator pssAuth;
public void init() {
pssAuth = new SSHPasswordAuthenticator(AUStats.USER, AUStats.PSSWRD);
frame = new Frame();
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
dialog.dispose();
frame.dispose();
System.runFinalization();
System.gc();
frame.addNotify();
frame.validate();
public void start() {
filename= getParameter("filename");
dialog = new AUSSHSCPDialog(frame, pssAuth, filename); // the scp dialog
dialog.show();
I've tried the following
- making the applet runnable & running it both with & without a 'start' button
- launching from within a new window from a JSP
- launching from a new window - with target="_blank" with in my html link
Anyone got an answer for this problem? Any help is appreciated!!

I do not have the complete libraries and code to compile your code.
One thing that comes to mind, if you are using anything Static, test without it. If the Applet reloads fine, then make sure you are using the Static correctly.
