Harley,
I also found this little gem in the Java Plugin FAQ:
Q: When I try to use the AppletClassLoader with Java Plug-in 1.2 Software,
it crashes with a null pointer exception in IE4, but works fine in Netscape.
Why does this happen? Is there a way to make it work correctly in IE4?
A: Java Plug-in 1.2 Software in IE4 tries to load
<YourAppletName>BeanInfo.class even if your applet is not a bean. There is a
bug in JDK 1.2 in the AppletClassLoader that occurs when trying to load
nonexistent classes. To prevent this problem, create an empty
<YourAppletName>BeanInfo.class.
... you do have to wonder how the hell this stuff gets out into the field,
don't you?
Scary!

Subject: [java3d] BeanInfo ?????
Hello All,
I have been pulling my hair out trying to use the Java Plug-in
to show a Java3D applet. My applet works fine locally. However when
I try to access it from a web server I publish to it crashes my
browser. The plug in seems to crash when trying to load a class
that doesn't exist. For some reason it keeps trying to load a class
that has the same name as my main class with the suffix BeanInfo.
So my class is BlindsApp.class. It keeps crashing trying to load
BlindsAppBeanInfo.class. I am not even using JavaBeans.
Are any of the Java3D classes intertwined (i.e. inhereted from, share
interfaces with, any connection whatsoever) with JavaBean classes.
Any ideas on what the problem is or should I just chalk it up to
El-Nino?
Thanks,
Harley Blumenfeld
