Why do Java web applets show up in the Dock sometimes?

I use web-based gradebook (Infinite Campus). At times since upgrading to Lion, when I load this Java applet through Safari and begin to interact with it, it pops up as a Dock icon. This never used to happen under Snow Leopard. I can't tell if it's something different with the applet or with Lion/Safari 5.1, but I'm assuming the latter. Can anyone shed any light on this? Why would a Java applet show up in the Dock as its own icon while runnign within Safari rather than just running "faceless" within the Safari window? Is there any way to change this behavior on my end? I've poked around in the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences app, but I haven't found anything relevant. I've tried re-installing the Lion Java runtime, 10.7.2 Combo Updater, and Safari 5.11, to no effect.

  • How can I check what version of Java Web Start is installed on the client ?

    hi,
    Can anyone tell me how can I check what version of java web start is installed on the client and display a message if the client has not the good version ?
    I mean:
    I'd like all people running my application use java 5 and if someone using java 1.4 try to run the application get a nice screen telling him to download the latest version of Java Web Start.
    Is this possible ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Of course, I put this on my jnlp file,
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.5+"/>
        <jar href="..... "/>
    </resources> But even with that, it doesn't display a nice message but a kind of exception instead.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Why has dr.web light ben removed from the app store

    Why has dr.web light ben removed from the app store and from my shopping list?

    Same issue but I'm still on my 5c. I originally thought the issue was due to it's new link to game center so I could be pushed ads like with how crazy taxi is now.  Or at least requiring being online to use.
    Im wondering if it's even worth paying for a game when eventually it will be turned into the freemimum model anyhow.
    I hope someone has an answer for this.

    You're welcome.  My mistake, I completely misread your question. Unfortunately currently  I don't have any email threads to check it out, just replys from the Apple Support Communities.Sorry.

  • TS3276 When I receive an email it doesnt show "1" on the dock icon of mail.

    I have 2 accounts online on my mail app, one pop and an imap.
    When I receive a mail through pop, it doesnt show "1" on the dock icon of mail. Through imap everything works fine.

    Why now is showing me this amount of emails as unread?? I have already marked them as read..

  • Getting Applications folder to show "properly" on the dock

    I upgraded two machines to Lion and the Applications folder shows up on the Dock as it was under Snow Leopard.
    Today my new MBA arrived and if I try to put the Applications folder on the dock the first Application shows as the icon. I can't find a way for it to use the "blue folder" I know they want us to use Launch Pad but.......

    Sorry but that is what I did. You have to put it below the dots where open files go but it does not give you a folder it gives an icon that looks like your first icon in the Applications folder which happens to be the address book. It isn't exactly the same because the address book looks like it is part of a big stack of other icons.

  • Application started using Java Web Start doesn't launch the first time

    I have a Facebook photo uploader application that I plan to distribute using Java Web Start. I'm using Java 6u4 on Windows XP SP2 with 2GB of RAM. I have Java 6u3, Java 6u4 and Java 5 u14 installed and I'm sure the one used is Java 6u4.

    </jnlp>Here is the link for my application http://antaki.ca/bloom/Bloom.jnlp
    The first time the application is installed using a link on the browser it's downloaded then the certificate dialog is shown, after that I check the checkbox to accept the certificate permanently. The application doesn't load, it only loads the second time although I see it in the task manager. If I don't accept the certificate permanently it does load. This happens on both Firefox 2 and IE 7. I enabled the console and logging but nothing shows up there.That's really a weird problem, I wonder if Java Web Start is a viable deployment option, it does have great capabilities such as autoupdate but still seems to have important bugs.
    Does anyone have any clue about what is going on.
    The problem doesn't occur on Ubuntu 7.10.

    You were right my XML file was not correct. I still couldn't find a valid JNLP validator. Sun has to provide that.>No they don't (have to supply a validator for their own document type, though it makes sense to do so), but yes they do (provide a tool that validates XML against schemas). Java can validate XML against a DTD or XSD.
    Check these two threads (and chase the links) for more details.
    JNLP xsd schema
    <http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/c6f65bf1df5f105d/30c6b7e2dc342dc4>
    Validate XML against DTD? XSD OK. SSCCE.
    <http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/5b997a1edb765b11/e831f3066eb4aa38>
    Look especially for the posts by Piotr Kobzda.
    I had a tool on my site based largely on Piotr's codes, that linked to a valid JNLP DTD and XSD, but unfortunately my site is offline at the moment. Andy assures me that the JNLP 6.0 DTD has been corrected for the developer ..download tutorials of web start, though the online (web site) version may still be invalid.

  • Java Web Start and IE6 as the default browser on win2k

    Hi,
    I need to access web pages from my java web start app. These pages are on the save server and the same webapp context as the jsp page to launch the web start app, and are protected.
    I have tried with basic auth and servlet filter with cookie to control the access to the web server. When I need to access web server resource from web start app, I create the URL to the page I want to access, set the auth header or cookie and call the web start BasicService to open it in the default browser.
    With Netscape 4/7 or Firefox as the default browser, I have no problem to send the auth header or cookie from the web start app to the webserver for security checking and get access to the resource on the server.
    But it seems not woking when IE is set to be the default browser. I am always asked for userid/password if I use basic auth; or redirected to the login page if I use servlet filter and cookie.
    If anybody knows a solution for this IE dfficulity, could you please share it?

  • Why some photos do not show up in the widgets after final export?

    Why do I have a problem with the FeatureD News Widget not showing all my photos? I have tried redoing it many times over in different formats and all but one photo never shows up in the final export. Please I need help to finish up the website.

    If I understand this correctly, you are reporting that you have images in your Featured News' target frames and some of those photos do not show up in the published site.
    If so, I would like you to confirm if the widget works fine in Preview within Muse? Are the images missing in all browsers, even after clearing the browser cache? Can you provide a link to a published site? If required I may also request your source Muse file to investigate further.
    Thanks,

  • Why is iMovie and pages show up in the free apps and then they show that you have to pay? Are they free or not?

    Why is Pages, Keynote and Imovie showing up in the free apps area but they show that they are 14.99 and 19.99? Are they free or not?

    They are free with a new machine purchase or if you already have the most current previous version installed.
    To get iMovie version 10 you must be currently running iMovie version 9. The same with all the other apps.

  • Why available Lan Host not showing up in the DHCP Leased Client table for RV180

    I just purchased the RV180 and am puzzled as to why lan host with ip address of 192.168.1.102 not showing up in the DHCP leased clients list.
    I have 4 static ip addresses with the last 3 digits ending in 101, 102,103 and 200 listed in the static DHCP and available local network list, but 102 is not in the DHCP leased clients list. The other 3: 101,103 and 200 are.
    Should it not be there also?

    Thanks Marty,
    There is nothing different about 102 than the other hosts.
    I did talk to tech support at Cisco this morning and I was told that I should not use the static DHCP under Networking LAN. Instead, I should set the static IP at the device level.
    So under Static DHCP, the list is blank, but the IP address will show up under Available LAN Hosts and listed as Static as Type.
    I thought this is a bit strange since it is Static DHCP and should be under Static DHCP (?)

  • Will the web address show up on the bottom of the page when I print my forms?

    I am still in preview mode, and am not ready to go live yet with my forms, but will be soon.  But when I am testing the forms and I print them, the web address prints on the bottom of the page.  Will this continue to happen when my forms are live and found on my website, or will a web address always show up on the bottom of the form when it is being printed?  We keep a lot of our forms in paper copy for records and it looks sloppy with that on the printed version.

    The browser puts that there, not us. Check your print setup options.
    You can also save out the form as PDF and print that.

  • Why do not Canon 350D show up in the Finder?

    Hi
    I have connected my Canon 350D, using the USB connector. It does not show up in the Finder window.
    IPhoto will automatically start and I can download the images.
    I prefer to use Photoshop CS2, but the canon is not shown there eighter! How can I get it to be shown on the bridge of Photoshop and in the find window???
    Is there a driver or an update that I have to download for this???
    The thing is that I now have to download all the images into Iphoto and then open them in the bridge. I dont want that. I want to use the bridge and pick the pictures I want to work with directly from the camera memorycard without loading then into Iphoto first!
    Please help!

    Hi there,
    go to Applications-->Image Capture-->Preferences-->General.
    Change the setting so that Bridge is the selected Application.
    regards
    Ric
