Re: JDK 1.4 broke applets -- JAVA400-L

I just learned of this 'situation' myself yesterday.  Its not a pretty
thing when you work in a company that uses applets for several important
tasks and you are responsible for development of JDK 1.4 related software.
Pretty hard to file expense reports for example.

If anyone hears/knows the answer, I'd love to hear about it even though its
a little outside the realm of what we normally talk about in this group.

It was true at Concord Bridge.  It was true at Pearl Harbor.  And it was
true today.

All,

Having downloaded & installed the Sun 1.4 JDK, I can no longer run any
applets using the plugin.

For example, if I go to
http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.4/demos/applets/Clock/example1.html I
get a console message:
load: class Clock.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Clock.class
             <stacktrace not shown>
Caused by: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed.
             <stacktrace not shown>

I've looked in the JDC forums, and there seems to be a number of people
reporting this issue (something to do with proxy servers), but no-one has a
solution. So I thought I'd ask you guys <pathetic fawning> since your
smarter </pathetic fawning>.

Chris.
