Applets not loading after updating to Java 1.5

[Tom Katz]

I work on a webapp that consists of a frameset that loads two separate applets. The latest JDK support was 142.08. I"m updating the code to Java 5.

I built with JDK 1.5.0.09 and am running the server with a compatible JRE. Also, my client machine is running an updated JRE (same version).

But my applets aren't loading correctly, w/o any errors to point me in the right direction. One of them shows the Java 'loading' animation, and it doesn't go away.

I changed the EMBED tags of the applets to reflect the new JRE level.

Any hints/ideas/suggestions for me to try?

thanks,
Tom

You said there were no error messssage, but just to clarify: no messages either in the browser status bar nor in teh Java Console? Can you see in your web server access logs whether all applet-related files are actually accessed successfully?

By the way, the server JVM version has no bearing on applet execution on the client.

The IE progress bar says the applet's started. I set some trace variables for the console output, but no errors, as far as I can tell (see below). The server logs just show that a client session has started.

Also, these applets are signed, if I hadn't mentioned that.

I've got print statements in the init methods of my main app and it seems to stop at the constructor for a subclass of JTree. All the constructor does is call super(model). model is implementing TreeModel.
