i have a applet file.
i can run it fine in eclipse. ( right click--> run as applet).
now i wanted to run that in browser.
i tried writing html file and i could not run it.
so now i'm trying the same file in jsp ( my java file is testapp.java)
now i have written the jsp code as
now,
my java file( testapp.java) is in
D:\eclipse\workspace\soft\bin
my class file in
D:\eclipse\workspace\soft\bin and
D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\Samples and
D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\Samples\testapp
my jsp file (testapp.jsp) is in
D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\Samples\
D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\Samples\testapp
i started the tomcat server
my code uses dll file. that file is in system32 folder.
i tried to run in firefox.. it asked me to install missing plugins.
so as it suggested i downloaded jre6 update 14 and installed in c:\jre folder.
but still same error in firefox.
so i tried in IE.
it shows "error. click for details"
when i click that the errors posted above appear.
as per my little java knowledge is concerned, nullpointerexception occurs when the java compiler/interpretor does not recognize some of the values of the file.(maybe i'm wrong).

Using that in a JSP page is perfectly fine. The "code" attribute should NOT have a "complete path" - it's a class name, not a file name.
It looks as if the stack trace in your first post is not complete - is there more to it?
the trace i posted in was the complete thing i got. there is nothing more to it.
thank you in advance

Please don't remove the code parameter in the jsp:plugin action tag. Use it with codebase.
Plugin: Mandatory attribute code missing
- this will be gone
Now if again the same error as you said in your first post - is coming then may be you need to check in your Applet code that you are not using anything which has not been properly initialized.
Mozilla Firefox error - may be coming due to some missing param in action tag. Or may be some additional tags are required. First let it run in IE where at least you are able to see the error message.
This is an issue w/ Java 1.6.0_14-b08. Try v1.5. I believe there's an issue open for this already.

I looked into this a bit more since it's also affecting my website. So far, it seems the problem is with the Version 2 of Sun's Java Applet Plugin. Using the other version seems to work fine (at least on Linux, I'm yet to test on Windows).

A very simple applet of mine works fine w/ the V2/Next-Generation Applet Plugin. The applet's job is simply to report the version of Java which the user has (it's part of the troubleshooting on my site), and thus uses only very basic parts of the Java SDK (not even Swing).
With that in mind, is this occurring for a test/prototype/sample Applet of yours? Are you able to share the source? If so, how big is it? If not, can you share some of the techniques & technologies the Applet uses? Swing? Custom painting? Database? XML? etc.
Unfortunately, the applet of mine which this issue affects is relatively large, so the process of finding the offending part may not be easy. But if we identify common traits between our applets, that can point me in a direction to start.

I've verified that using the original plugin (ie. not the "next generation"/v2 plugin) on Windows also functions properly.

hi george,
in my first post on this thread ( Post New posted Friday, July 17, 2009 3:40:22 PM ) you can see the complete output of the error window.
the same code is running fine in eclipse ( eclipse-----> right click---> run as applet. )
i just wanted to run from JSP.
you can see my jsp coding and other details in the first post said above.
this is no sample code........ this is my application code.
thank you in advance

Looks like you're still missing the CODE attribute which is required.

One problem is that you made it worse by removing the code attribute.
Then I'd investigate if the class file is being requested and successfully downloaded from the web server. That would be logged in TOMCAT_HOME/logs/localhost_access_log.2009-07-20.txt file, either with a 200 or 404 result in the second to last column.

Do not use codebase; there's no need for that.
Start with the HTML file you showed in your first post; once you get that working you can convert it to a JSP.
Now look into the issue I mentioned in my previous post about the server access log.

What you posted is not an HTML file - it's a JSP file. As I said, use the HTML file you posted in your first post.
what i have posted in my first post are html and jsp files respectively
the html file is
the jsp file is
the difference is that the html file is in the eclipse working directory ( as you must have seen in the command prompt output, from the path i'm running the html file) and the jsp file is in the apache tomcat's my custom folder.
i do not know which file you are specifying.
in the mean while i will try the details in the link you provided.
thank in advance.

I'm confused. You said yourself "i have posted in my first post are html and jsp files respectively". So when I say "use the HTML file", what's unclear about that? Forget about the JSP file; in fact, just delete it, and put the HTML file into the proper Tomcat directory.

hi ulf,
i'm even more confused now....
i'm trying to run the .html file which is in eclipse workspace from the command prompt as
ecpilse workspace location where the .html file is located>appletviewer <filename>.html
then
i'm trying to load the .jsp file, which is a complete different file in a web browser...
steps are..
1.created a .jsp file for the java class file.
2.placed the .jsp file in my custom folder in the installed path of my apache tomcat ( exactly here D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\Samples )
3.runnuing the apache tomcat server 5
4.opening IE and entering
It's a well-known debugging strategy to keep things simple in order to get them to work. Then, once everything works fine, you can start adding bells and whistles. Since you were struggling for a long time (and apparently still are) to get the JSP file to work, I advised to just get rid of it, and use the HTML instead, thereby eliminating troublesome steps.
Of course, in order to use the HTML file, it must be in the proper Tomcat directory. Whatever is done in Eclipse has no bearing once you properly deploy the code into Tomcat.

hi,
i resolved it to some extent...
when i enter http://localhost:8080/Samples/testapp.html in the web browser i get the gui. but the functionalities are still not working.
My posts were specifically targeting the first set of error messages which you reported (lines 20-25):
I think Ulf Dittmer is giving good advice to stick w/ the HTML file--using JSP will only add another variable to deal with.
If you can get back to the state you were in w/ your original post, getting the same error & stack trace as above, then change your applet plugin version and see what happens.

Bharani, since the applet is now working, please start a new topic for any unrelated problems that you're now encountering. Keep in mind that we don't have the applet's source code, so a problem description of "nothing is happening when i click the buttons" means precisely nothing to us. When you start the new topic, be sure to include information on what you expected to happen when you clicked any button, whether your button action listeners were called, and any other relevant information.

hi ulf,
thank you very much..
i'll start new topic
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
