Applet does not work anymore
I've had this applet working just fine before, albeit some time ago .. Now when I want to load it on my page i get
basic: Plugin2ClassLoader.addURL parent called for
http://localhost:8080/about-1.0/SunScreben2.jar
basic: exception: null.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2ClassLoader.getTrustedCodeSources(Unknown Source)

at com.sun.deploy.security.DeployURLClassPath$JarLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
in the console.
I've tried different things, deployJava.js the good old <applet> tag and no matter what, it gives me the same thing.
To debug it i've tried giving in bogus class name, bogus archive, and it gives the same error. Example
<applet width=100 height=150 MAYSCRIPT
code="hojinc.applet.TestApplet.class"
archive="TestApplet.jar"
codebase="http://127.0.0.1:8080/about-1.0/">
</applet>
Same error all browsers, the code is correct and the jar is downloadable if you address it directly.
Now i am on Java7u45 ... has something broken between then and now or am I doing something horrible wrong.. (this code USED to work with wicket.)
I am signing the jar with my own testcert but even so I can see the browser contacting verisign(sysinternals)! (whats up with that? I didnt ask for that ?)..
Thanks ?
