Hi,
I am using Tomcat 4.1 as the server. i have a simple java applet HelloWorld.java . have kept the class file and html calling applet in proper loction. am using https.
Problem: the applet is accessible from the same machine(i.e. machine where tomcat is installed) url:https://<DNS>:8443/chat/index.html , where index.html has the applet tag. note: DNS is registered

but when i try to open the url from any other machine, the html page loads but NOT the applet. i cant reaaly find the problem..browser says:Applet not inited. neeed urgent help!!

Below is the message in Java Console:-

Welcome to JavaRanch.

Regarding the urgency of your question, Ease Up.

Note that the error message says "class HelloWorld.class not found", not "class HelloWorld not found". You probably have code="HelloWorld.class" in your applet tag instead of code="HelloWorld".

what's the jdk version are you using to compile the applet?as I know, you must use jdk1.3 or earlier to compile the source, IE will find the class, or it will say class not found.and you'd better use jdk1.1 language syntax to fie MS jre.
sorry for my english, and hope be helpful.

Hi ulf..
i mentioned it before that the applet is loading on the same machine.

as far as knew, the .class extension may/maynot be used in <applet code="">

anyways, i checked and changed code="HelloWorld" and the same error has occured. the applet is loading successfully on the same machine.. but not on other,, the message in java console is same as before with 1 change:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HelloWorld

NOTE: May be some kind of security issue is there, if u see the console msg carefully it says: Caused by: java.io.IOException: Authentication failure

any idea wat does dat mean??

My aim is not to run this HelloWorld applet.. its actually a test applet i made juct to check whether simple applets are loading properly or not..

As for JDK. im using j2sdk1.4.2_08
