114201 - homebanking applet refuses to work with JRE 1.4 (NullPointerException)

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Diego Biurrun]

Just try to open the URL with JRE 1.4-beta3 installed.  It refuses to load.  I
am not sure if this is the same bug, but https://banking.lbbw.de does also not work.

My configuration is Linux 2001120806 with JRE 1.4 beta 3 and a freshly created
profile.  I use Debian and converted the JRE rpm into a deb (Debian archive
format) using alien.

I have no problems with java applets on other sites and I can also view other
https pages.  I do get errors on the java console.

At the page https://banking.sonline.de/sparkasse-ac/ I get:

Uncaught error fetching image:

Comment 1

[Gilles Durys]

Does it work with another browser and the same JRE ?
It could be a JRE problem.

Comment 2

[Diego Biurrun]

Good point, Gilles.  Works fine with Netscape 4.77.   ---> NEW

Comment 3

[Ian Neal]

Might be worth looking at bug 142878 and see if the sites mentioned there have
the same problem on Linux mentioned here?

Comment 4

1.4.0-b92 no longer has this problem --> WORKSFORME.

Comment 5

And marking VERIFIED, this is my bug after all.
