I have written an Upload applet using commons.fileUpload library.
When I test the applet in Netbeans applet viewer the applet works and uploads the files. However when I test the applet in a browser , the applet loads but the Upload button doesn't work. No error or nothing it just doesnt work.


the method that is called when you click the Upload button.

Have you made sure that this method is in fact called? If it is, which lines of code are executed?

Are there any error messages in the Java Console?

How are you referencing the required jar files in your applet tag?

If I test the applet in the applet viewer the method is being run, not when i test the applet inside a browser.

This is how the applet is loaded.

So are there any error messages in the Java Console?

That's unusual. Which OS are you running? In Windows in can be opened from the little Java icon at the lower right of the screen, regardless of whether an applet is running or not. It may need to be turned on first in the Java Plugin control panel.

No idea what you mean there.

In any case, you do realize that browsers have security restrictions in place that prevent applets from doing potentially dangerous things like, for instance, accessing the local file system? Applets that need to do things like this need to be digitally signed, and then need to ask for permission to perform the action.

This is the error I get in java console. I figured it had something to do with security again and since I already signed my applet I tried to sign the commons jars also, didn't work though :s
