Description

[Dr. David J. Knowles]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1)
Gecko/20010607 Netscape6/6.1b1
BuildID:    2001060703

The function call getApplet and getApplets in the class
java.applet.AppletContext do not work. This means that it is impossible for one
applet to locate another in the same web page. The same applets work fine in the
following web browsers:
All Netscape up to 4.77
All IE up to 5.5
All Opera up to 5

All versions of Mozilla exhibit the same bug.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go the the specified URL.
2. Click the button on the second applet. No other applets are displayed
3. None of the other applets list. This is erroneous.

Actual Results:  getApplet called failed to find other applets.

Expected Results:  getApplet call in the applet should have listed the other
applet on the page.

This is just a comment and feel free to ignore this however the bug was listed 
as will be fixed by using Java version 1.4.

I have noticed that Opera 5.0 uses an almost identical system to mozilla for 
handling Java applets and that this program does not exhibit this error (JRE 
1.3).

Does this imply that the fault may be related to something else?

getApplet() works under certain conditions. See 
http://www.highscore.de/mozilla/getapplet.html

I have retested this bug using Mozilla 0.95 and JRE 1.4 beta 2.  The bug is 
intermitent.  Sometimes the browser finds the applets, sometimes not.  My test 
program reads the applet context in the "start" method.  Could it be that the 
start method is being called BEFORE all the components on an HTML page are 
fully loaded an initialized?

This was a bug in some earlier version of Netscape.

Comment 13

[Jaap Droogers]

The method getApplets only gives one applet on the page, not all of them. 
Actually, it gives the last applet on the page.

Comment 14

[Boris Schaeling]

getApplet() still doesn't work (tested with Mozilla 0.9.9, Windows 98, SUN JRE 
1.4.0, http://www.highscore.de/mozilla/getapplet.html). 
However after reloading the page several times the first applet finds the 
second sometimes and the second the first. But I didn't get both applets to 
find each other. 

Comment 15

[Boris Schaeling]

Will this bug ever be fixed?? Using Mozilla 1.0 and JRE 1.4.0 the testcase at 
http://www.highscore.de/mozilla/getapplet.html still doesn't work.

-- Verified on the latest trunk on WinXP with JRE1.4.1_02. Works fine. Clicking
on the button of second applet lists all the applets in the page.

I have tried the applets on the test page with Mozilla 1.4a on Windows XP with
the Java 1.4.1_02 java plug in. It appears to work fine.

Comment 23

[Dr. David J. Knowles]

Sorry the bug appears to have reappeared.
Mozilla 1.7b with Java Version 1.4.2_03 (build 1.4.2_03-b02)

Mass-closing bugs in the "OJI" component: OJI plugin integration was replaced with npruntime long ago, and these bugs appear to be irrelevant now. If there is in fact a real bug that remains, please file it new in the "Core" product, component "Plug-ins".
