I got my Tomcat install to work and now I can receive JSP generated HTML web pages. However, my applet, that works in 'appletViewer' is throwing exceptions. I suspect one of two area for problems in my setup / configuration:

  • path I am storing my applet files (.java, .class and .jar)
  • proper reference to the java libraries for the browser (renderImage, event-pump, etc.)
  • permissions

I reviewed the catalina.policy file and restarted tomcat with the -security (on windows using the service manager). I am getting 404 stating that it cannot find the files -- but they are in the path shown in the log, therefore, it leads me to think it is not permissible.

JSP snippet:

// Form for submitting email to support.
<applet name="mymail" code="MyMail" codebase="/" archive="mystuff.jar" width=280 height=140>
</applet>

Logging error (removed timestamp and IP):

"GET /myapp/MyMail.class HTTP/1.1" 404 221

All the other resources are getting 200 (OK) and 304 (not modified).

  • haha, yea i'm actually here tonight - that's what happens when you worked a 90 hour week, the woman is doing a girls night out and I'm on call. Are there any errors in the mod_jk log file? If you look at the security log do you see any failed audit entries for that file? I'll favorite this and check back tomorrow when i've had less beer and more sleep.

  • You know what -- I am about 2 hours shy of an all-nighter, so I will have to get the details tomorrow. BTW - I don't know if I know where the security log is ... I have been observing the error output in the console. As for mod_jk.log, it is all new to me, I will have to make a clean run to unclutter my other activity.

I got it to work tonight -- only three weeks later:( ... the problem was really looking like permissions, security, etc. to access the .jar / .class files that are being referenced. I needed to add the following statement to my httpd.conf file:

JkMount /*.class myworker1
