Hi,
In a component I am trying to embed an applet. I originally used just
the applet tags and all worked well while testing using safari. Now I
am testing the deployment with win ie and firefox on windows and they
didn't work. It turns out that the java plugin requires <object> and
<embed> tags to use it. I am running into trouble with that the applet
won't init. I found a thread on the sun forums about it and it seems
that the plugin tries to send a request to get the class file, which
does not exist as it is in the jar. The solution posted was to use mod
rewrite to return a 404 for the class file request. This does not seem
to work as looks like apache passes the request to the webobjects
adaptor before the rewrite condition is tested.
Here is the embed code:
<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2" width="400"
height="350" align="baseline" java_code="MultiFileUploader.class"
java_archive="HTTPClient.jar,mfu.jar"
java_codebase="http://localhost///LightBox/Media//java/";
action="/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ShoeBox.woa/wo/eiyskIPXSt5tfjlZecCD7M/
13.0.11.5.3"
pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html";>
<NOEMBED>
No Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition v 1.4.2 support for
APPLET!
</NOEMBED>
</EMBED>
Here is the mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*(MultiFileUploader.class)
RewriteRule ^(.+) [R=404]
I think the rule is correct.
What solution do others use to get applets to work in win IE and other
windows based browsers?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
regards,
Greg
