58074 - Java applets not running

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[Sam Walker]

I went to the following url: http://www.fightersquadron.com/flightline/

The page had me download the new Java2 JRE (1.3).

The javascripts still don't run, and I get no error messages. I rebooted and
returened to the page, the problem still existed. I checked the Javacontrol
panel to make sure it was looking in the right direcory.

This page works fine in Explorer, StarOffice, and NS Communicator 4.74

The only JavaScript I see on that page is the stuff that writes out the tracking
image, and it works fine for me (Mozilla 2000102511 from the trunk).

I'll reassign this to the OJI guys, in case it's really a bug in OJI, but you
should also include the Mozilla build you're using.

good for you, but i get out of memory exceptions w/ netscape4.76.
Please try again in one week w/ a newer JRE, the currently available one is 
broken, see bug 55537.

Unfortunately, this is another applet that is running into the problem with the 
more strict classloader in jdk1.3.0_01.  This applet needs to be re-compiled 
with jdk1.3.0_01 in order to work correctly with Netscape 6.

I have contacted the webmaster at this site.  Hopefully they will re-compile 
the applets.
