Swing components not visible on NN/IE 4.x (+)

**arungnair** · October 11th, 1999, 02:11 AM

hi all there,
I have problem while loading JApplets / any Swing comp on my Browser.
It's getting an error saying that JApplet class not found. I have set the
class path, but not working. I have copied the rt.jar file and placed in my current applet direcory , still same . The i hv pasted the same jar file in the java directory under netscapes directory path ..that even fails. I have
installed jre1.2.2 , still nothing is happening.
Can anyone give me some tips to set the browser compatible with swing.
urgent
Thanks
Arun g nair

Swing is not supported on IE4.0 or Netscape 4.6. You need to download the Java plugin from Sun's site. I've even tried adding the archive to my browser's classpath - it's tough to get it started - to include all the classes - but even if ur applet does start, it simply doesn't repaint itself. I'ven't figured out a way around this - so decided to go in for those controls of Swing that I could download from the Net as seperate components and include these classes along with my zip.

Hope this helps.

Rgds,

Saravanan , What do you mean by "browser's classpath" ? Are you talking about
Archive tag ? AFAIK , browser wont look CLASSPATH variable.

Arun , as Saravanan said , IE doesnt support SWING components. Convert your html file
like the following , ( Download HTMLConverter from sun site. That will do this job )

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Autogenerated HTML</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
WIDTH = 695 HEIGHT = 463 codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/....cab#Version=1,1,2,0">
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = "UI.class" >

<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2">
<COMMENT>
<EMBED type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.1.2" java_CODE = "UI.class" WIDTH = 695 HEIGHT = 463 pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/...n-install.html"><NOEMBED></COMMENT>

</NOEMBED></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

<APPLET CODE = "UI.class" WIDTH = 695 HEIGHT = 463 >

</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>

This will install plugin in your client's machine.
