Vista - jre1.6.0_05 - applets won't run

I just got my new Vista (32-bit Vista) computer. It is fully up to date. I just installed JRE 6 Update 5 (aka jre1.6.0_05). The installation seemed to go perfectly.
However, immediately after the installation, I tested my installation by going to: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml. The test failed! I also verified that my browser (Internet Explorer 7) is configured to use jre1.6.0_05 and I have cleared temporary Internet files too.
It seems I cannot run any applets.
Any thoughts?

Well ...I have solved my problem!
I had forgotten that shortly after I got my new Vista computer I became so irritated at the non-stop prompts (asking me if I really intended to perform a task that I had just initiated) that I disabled User Account Control. I guess that was a mistake.
Since I am the administrator on my Vista machine, I thought that by disabling UAC that my computer would behave like my older XP machine. I thought that programs would install properly and then run properly, since I, the installer, had administrative rights. I was wrong.
Here's what I did to fix my problem. Since I had turned UAC off prior to my previous installation of Java 6, I left the setting off while I uninstalled Java. I rebooted and I turned UAC on. Once again, I rebooted. I then re-installed Java 6 Update 5, rebooted one more time, and then I ran the test at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml.
IT WORKED!
If you hear of other people having a problem similar to mine, tell them of my experience and how I resolved my problem.

Class Not Found Exception - applet won't run anywhere outside of IDE

I have an applet that runs perfectly in the netbeans IDE, but won't run from command prompt (I'm using windows) or from a browser. I've been banging my head against the wall for a few days on this one. Here's the HTML I'm using:
<applet width="400" height="525" code="musicapplet.class" archive="crypticgraffiti.jar">
<param name="bgcolor" value="ffffff"> <param name="fontcolor" value="000000">
</param> </param> Your browser is not Java enabled. </applet>
Here is the structure of the jar file's contents:
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
com/
com/crypticgraffiti/
com/crypticgraffiti/music/musicapplet
com/crypticgraffiti/music/GetNotes.class

com/crypticgraffiti/music/OctaveTransformer.class
com/crypticgraffiti/music/Phrase.class
musicapplet/MusicApplet$playerThread.class
musicapplet/MusicApplet.class
(Musicapplet.class is the main class)
When I attempt to run from command prompt, I get:
"Error: Could not find or load main class crypticgraffiti.MusicApplet"
When I attempt to load via html:
"basic: load: class musicapplet.class not found.
load: class musicapplet.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: musicapplet.class

I have tried every possible variation for the 'code' element of the applet tag (package.mainclass.class, mainclass, mainclass.class, etc). I have also tried compiling with JDK 1.6 and this didn't change anything. I've tried clearing out the cache of temporary files using the java control panel settings, and have verified that my browser can run other applets using JRE 6 and 7.
I've tried some different ways of distributing the applet, also: putting all the class files in the folder with the html file, putting the classes in a source folder in the same folder as the html file, and finally putting a jar in the same folder as the html file (which really seems the simplest).
Any help at all would be most appreciated! This applet is a very cool and original music creating app that draws heavily on the JFugue API. It's a shame that I can't get it online for people to play with!

Please note that class names are case sensitive so "MusicApplet" is not same as "Musicapplet" or "musicapplet". Your applet tag should have fully qualified class name (without quotes) and should look like this:
<applet width=400 height=525 code=musicapplet.MusicApplet archive="crypticgraffiti.jar">
</applet>
The JAR should be in the same directory as your HTML file. While launching from command line, you can also check if your JAR file is getting included in classpath.

Java applets won't run on Safari???

I have reinstalled Java twice, and it still won't run any Java applets. It just sits there with the cup logo and the arrow on either side. It works fine on Firefox but not Safari. Help?

Hello
I'm piggy backing on this thread because I too have had problems with Java and Safari
Java runs fine for me in Firefox, however.
I went to a federal website
https://blrscr3.egs-seg.gc.ca/gol-ged/gov/browserdetection/BrowserCheck.html
that uses java and received this message
" Java applet unable to load
To use this service, you must either install a recent version of the Sun JVM or enable "Scripting of Java applets" if it has been disabled."
so i looked for an update and have downloaded and installed release 6, (at least, it said that it was installed, but have never been able to figure out where)
when I check Java preferences, the choices are J2SE 1.4.2 or J2SE 5, and when I've switched to 1.4.2 I still have no luck.
When i run firefox, i get the java console opening, but it doesn't open with safari, and I can't find the option for this to turn on in safari
i have restarted both safari and my computer and no luck. I have repaired permissions and no changes have taken place.
Any more suggestions?
(thank you, by the way)

Signed applets won't run @ web, only locally

Hey, all elitist java folk, here is one for you:
I have succeded in creating a signed, and an un-signed java applet - both run well locally. The signed applet, writes to a local file.
Both are merely proof of concept.
So, here is the deal:
I upload both to a webserver (one of those where you get 50Mb for free) via ftp (not ASCII, binary transfer), and only the unsigned will run in my browsers (Opera, FF, MSIE tested).
The signed one writes to the screen: "Could not instantiate."
I belive the problem lies in the HTML, which is very basic but still works locally. I don't have any clsid-thingy, is this nessecary? Where do I read about this?
HTML that (should) load the signed applet:
<html>
<applet code="localfile.class" archive="localfile.jar" width="300" height="300">
</applet>
</body>
</html>As previously said, the unsigned applet work both from the web and locally, so I won't post any more html here...
Btw, I am not interessed in editing any policy-file; my signed applet should work "out-of-the-box" for any java-enabled browser on the Internet.
All I want is for the browser to load the signed java applet, ask user for certificate confirmation, and run it... Just like with http://jupload.sourceforge.net/applet-basic.html , which also access local filesystem.

If you open the Java Console what does it say?
There shouldn't be any difference in loading the applet locally or from the webserver... presuming the HTML and jar files and classnames and stuff are all correct relative to both locations.

Applet won't run if put in JAR file

Hello, I've searched a lot and couldn't find an answer to my problem -
I want to put my applet into a jar file. and run it, of course.
I have a jar file that contains "b.class", "temp.class" both of them in directory "package_name", which is their package's name in eclipse. (this jar I obtained by using export from eclipse).
and - I have my index.html file -
<APPLET
CODE="b.class"
ARCHIVE "jar_file.jar"
WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="90"
</APPLET>
both the index.html and the jar file in the same directory.
and the applet wont run!
what am I doing wrong? somehow I think that the problem is because the classes reside in another directory in the jar file,
but I already tried everything - with no success :(
Kogan.

OK the problem solved -here is highlighted what I was missing -
<APPLET
CODE=package_name.b.class ( I was missing the "package_name")
codebase = "."
ARCHIVE "jar_file.jar"
WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="90"
</APPLET>

Java applet won't run: ClassFormatError: Unknown constant tag 115

Hi,
About two years ago I uploaded an applet to a server and it ran fine. Since then I've done minor tweaks to the applet and it works on my computer, but I recently uploaded it to a new server and now it gives me the following:

I've already checked that I uploaded everything in binary and that my .class files are intact on the server. In fact I uploaded my files and downloaded them back onto my computer and they run fine. Also I have another applet running smoothly on the same server (which also used to reside on the old server) and it's not having any problems. I have 9 .class files in total and all of them are uploaded. chemlet is the file where execution should start. Any ideas for what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Either there is some version problem in applet. or the classfile might have some constant which is not getting referenced properly.
might be in your chemlet file . use decompiler to open your class file and then check the line number 115 in your chemlet file to see what is the problem there.

Applet Won't run!!!

I am using netbeans IDE 3.3 to create applets. They runfind within hte IDE Appletviewer but when I run them usint Internet Explorer 5, I get an message "Class can not be found".
Using windows 2000, IE5, JDK2
Any ideas.

Are you sure your HTML file is in the same directory as your applet file?
IF your applet uses swing you need to download this converter and convert your html files with it for them to support swing.

Applet won't run in Internet Explorer

I am having problems running applets that I create. They don't run in Internet Explorer. Other applets will run in the browser but it seems to use the Microsoft VM, not the JVM from Sun. The Mozilla Firefox browser will run all applets using the JVM from Sun.

If you cannot see an entry in IE Tools menu named Sun Java Console and open it , then do the following.
1.Open Windows' Control Panel and look for an entry "Java Plug-in".
- If it's not there, go here http://java.com/en/index.jsp and click the "Get It Now" button to install the Java Plug-in.
- If it's there, click it, and then the Browser tab. Make sure that "Internet Explorer" is checked, then close all instances of IE. Go to this page and try one of the applets: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/relnotes/demos.html
2. If that doesn't resolve the problem, remove ALL Sun Java stuff that you can find - check directories and the Registry - and do a clean install of Java.
to twinkietwin
Question 1: It appears that you typed the error text in your message #8, because there are capitalization and spelling problems that do not exactly match the errors that Java produces. Is this the case? If so please cut and paste the verbatim text of the errors from the window that appears when you click on the "More Details" button of the "Error - Java General Exception" box. (The EXACT and TOTAL error test is important.)
It appears that the applet is attempting to acquire the value of some variables from the HTML code that calls the applet, but for some reason it cannot find the HTML file named "example1.htm" that contains the variables. One possibility is that there is a file on your computer named either example1.htm or example1.html that is being found first. Check your machine for files with one of these names; if found, temporarily rename it to something else and try the Sun BarChart applet from the demo page again.

Applet won't run in browser

I created an applet that writes and reads from a text file. It works when I run it in eclipse but not in a browser.
Noob

By default applets can't read the local filesystem. Presumably Eclipse lets you do it to make development easier. If you want your applet to read the local filesystem, you apparently have to sign it.

Applet won't run on all platforms

I've written a simple applet that compiles cleanly (apparently), and
will run on Solaris and Red Hat 9 using appletviewer; and it will run
on a friend's WinXP Pro system. But when I try to run it on my WIn XP
Pro system, I get these messages in the appletviewer window:
error:null
then
Start: applet not initialized
and in the DOS box I call appletviewer from, I get a string of
messages :

Thanks for any help!

Any help please. Thanks.

Applet won't run twice

My project is to create an applet that will calulate the prices and discounts for books sold. The program works fine in this regard. The problem is when I add new information in the text fields it will not run again it gives an invalid error. I can't find where the problem is.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
// Retrieve data and calucalte
// Clear Errors
showStatus("Ready");
try
// Retrieve Data from text fields
// Change Strings to float values
strBook = txtBook.getText();
fltPrice = Float.parseFloat(txtPrice.getText());
intQty=Integer.parseInt(txtQty.getText());
strBook = txtBook.getText();
// Calulate totals
fltExtendedPrice = intQty * fltPrice;
fltBookDiscount = fltExtendedPrice * fltDisc;
fltDiscountPrice = fltExtendedPrice - fltBookDiscount;
intTotalQty += intQty;
fltTotalSale += fltDiscountPrice;
fltAverage = fltTotalSale / intTotalQty;
// Formatting Output
NumberFormat fmtCurrency = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
NumberFormat fmtDecimal = NumberFormat.getInstance();
fmtDecimal.setMinimumFractionDigits(0);
fmtDecimal.setMaximumFractionDigits(0);
// Format float to String
strPrice = fmtCurrency.format(fltPrice);
strQty = fmtDecimal.format(intQty);
strBookDiscount = fmtCurrency.format(fltBookDiscount);
strExtendedPrice = fmtCurrency.format(fltBookDiscount);
strDiscountPrice = fmtCurrency.format(fltDiscountPrice);
strTotalQty = fmtDecimal.format(intTotalQty);
strTotalSale = fmtCurrency.format(fltTotalSale);
strExtendedPrice = fmtCurrency.format(fltExtendedPrice);
strAverage = fmtCurrency.format(fltAverage);
// Output in the first textArea
txaCurrentSale.append("\n" +"Book Title: " + strBook + "\n" + "Book Price: " + strPrice + "\n" + "Quantity: " + strQty + "\n" + "BookDiscount: " + strBookDiscount + "\n" + "Extended Price: " + strExtendedPrice + "\n" + "DiscountPrice: " + strDiscountPrice + "\n");
// Output in the Second TextArea Summary
txaSummary.append("\n" +"Total Quantity: " + strTotalQty + "\n" + "Total Books Sales: " + strTotalSale + "\n" + "Average: " + strAverage);
// Clear text Fields
txtBook.setText(" ");
txtQty.setText(" ");
txtPrice.setText(" ");
txtBook.requestFocus();
//btnAdd.addActionListener(this);
catch(NumberFormatException err)
lblError.setForeground(Color.red);
lblError.setText("Invalid Data entered");
showStatus("Invalid Data entered");
If any can help me I would greatly apperciate it. Thank You

Yes, So you have to figure out what's causing that. The only part of your code that I can see that does any parsing is this:fltPrice = Float.parseFloat(txtPrice.getText()); so that's probably what's throwing the exception.
So basically, you need to put some code around there to check the return value of txt.getText and see if it's in valid floating-point number format. If it's not in valid format, then when you call parseFloat, it will throw that exception.
and I am new to programming , so I'm not quite
for sure what you mean by code tags.It has nothing to do with programming. These forums have special markup tags. You can make text bold or italic or underlined. When you post code, put "[code]" before it and "[/code]" after it, and the forum software will display the code legibly (like it did above).

Swing Applet won't run

Hi,
I am unable to run swing applets on my pc. When I view swing applets on this site in the tutorial section the applets run fine, but when I download them and try to run them locally I get a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. All the files are compiled and in the correct directories.
Any ideas?
Thanks

OK, I get your point, let me rephrase my question:
I'm trying to run a java application,
which does not have any syntactical errors since it compiles and runs on my development computer without any errors or warnings.
The application is built in NetBeans IDE 5.0 (on a winXP) and uses components from the javax.swing package.
On my other computer (winXP) I get ClassNotFoundExceptions on the swing classes.
So I assume, I either don't have the swing classes on that computer,
or I have them, but the java engine can't find them anyway.
And now my new question:
Is the javax.swing package not include in the "Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 8"?
If it is not, where do I find them and how do I install them?
It seems strange to have to install a development kit just to be able to run a java application.

Java Control Panel applet won't run

I am running Windows 2000 Server and I need to import a certificate into the certificate database. Both the jpicpl32.cpl and jpicpl32.exe fail to run. When I try to execute either of them they launch an instance of javaw.exe (confirmed in the task manager) but the interface never comes up. Java Web Start misbehaves in the same way.
I am using JRE 1.4.2_04 and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it without solving the problem. One possible issue is that the person who did the initial install of the JRE moved the directory to a different drive after the installation was complete. When I discovered this I edited the windows registry and changed all of the pointers to the new location. That did not help and that is when I uninstalled and reinstalled the JRE.
I have found several messages in this forum indicating similar problems with prior versions of the JRE but none of them had any replies (except for some who said they were having the same problem). I have also searched the web but all that I can find is information on how to troubleshoot java applications, not the JRE itself.

I have been working on a project rolling out J2RE1.4.1_02 onto approximately 100 pc's. Half of them are Windows 2000 laptops and the other half use Windows XP sp1 (a few with SP2) Desktops varying in spec. To date I have yet to have this issue on the Windows 2000 laptops. Of the 50 XP machines, so far I have encountered this problem on 20 of them.
I used almost every method described in the forums as well as loads of other options to resolve the hanging of javaw.exe. We havent rolled out the application that requires this JRE version yet and I am only trying to run the Java contol panel to change user settings.
At first I thought it was conflicting software, so I uninstalled package by package. Halfway through, the console worked, but on reboot, did not work again. I eventually figured out that once you install JRE and it does not work, just log off and then on again without rebooting and it starts to work. We cannot give this as a solution to our users. I also edited the registry removing all refrences to any other java files after uninstalling all java related apps. Re-installing after this did not fix it either. I tried to avoid using Javaw.exe by chaning the path in the registry to java.exe, but this did not work either.
Sometimes I could get Java Web Start working, but not the control panel, then when i could get the control panel working, java web start wouldnt work. These 20 machines were part of our original image of XP that was rolled out. The other 30 machines are a slightly newer build but have the same applications. Do you think it could be a way the group policies are applied? They are local policies as we are still building our 2003 servers and I set everything to 'not configured' but it still did not change anything. If I rebuild the image and install all their apps, it works fine. But i would like to avoid rebuilding 20 PC's. I have already rebuilt 10 of them and hate using that as a solution. The group policy settings were initially created by one team and then later a second team created our new image that we use. So it may be just a configuration that the first team have implemented or locked down that the second team did not.
What is strange is that it doesnt run on first boot up, but does run after logging off and on again. Somebody in one of the other forums mentioned that it may have something to do with explorer.exe, but i doubt it. I am exasperated and would appreciate any ideas I have not tried.
Thanks guys,

You may want to check your classpath settings. You can do a forum search on classpath to get many examples of how to do this.
