Hi! I've just subscribed to the list in the hopes of gaining some insight
into the following problem...
On MacOS 10.4, developing with eclipse set to use compliance level 1.4, I
am trying to use HttpClient to connect to a web server. In Applet-viewer
this works fine, but I've had a devil of a time getting it to work off my
web server. Having browsed the mailing list archives some, it's clear that
this *can* work -- so it's probably user-befuddlement and/or outright
ignorance.
One possible source of mistakes: this is the first applet I've done that
uses libraries (the commons packages) in separate JAR files. I thought I
just needed to put all the .jar files into the ARCHIVE="" parameter on the
HTML APPLET tag, but I kept getting "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" at
the first "new HttpClient()" (and the traceback had no org.apache...
pieces). I concluded that the ARCHIVE parameter wasn't really delivering
the libraries as needed. Something I found on the web suggested I might
need to monkey with the manifest, so I unZipped one of the jar files and
used the resulting folder (a) as a model to package my own applet, and (b)
as a place to put a "Class-Path:" header with all the commons jars on it.
I then reZipped and renamed it. Now the applet tag is
<applet code="dirList/MenuDemo2.class" name="MenuDemo2"
archive="MenuDemo.jar"
width="400" height="500">
The applet launches, but the "new HttpClient()" still runs into problems..
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.<clinit>(HttpClient.java:66)
...
Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission
org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.HashtableImpl read)
at
java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:264)
fwiw, the url being accessed is on port 8080.
Suggestions? Thanks for your insights.
