Searching further lead me to: http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177
This bug was resolved as invalid. Bug 177 was caused by a certification issue. Here comes in the logic. When I connect to my compaq device, firefox starts complaining about the fact that the certificate can't be verified with any of its know CA's. So I have to force firefox to accept the certificate. What now think based on the link above is that icedtea is unable to fetch the java files from my compaq device because it does not accept the certificate of the device. Do I now think in the right direction or am I way off here? A workaround for an issue like this is provided here: http://muzso.hu/2008/08/12/how-to-overcome-a-certain-type-of-start- applet-not-initialized-error-with-an-ubuntu-firef ** Bug watch added: Iced Tea Bugzilla #177 http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177 -- The plugin does not properly start HP RiLOE II remote console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198093 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in ubuntu. Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a java jar file, which is used by the HP RiLOE II remote console board. The applet is embedded into the web interface of the RiLOE like so: <!-- Use jar based archive --> document.writeln("<APPLET CODE = \"remcons.class\" ARCHIVE = \"remcons.jar\""); document.writeln("width="+consoleWidth+" height="+consoleHeight+">"); document.writeln("<PARAM NAME = ARCHIVE VALUE = \"remcons.jar\" >"); document.writeln("<PARAM NAME=\"DUALCURSOR\" VALUE=\"false\">"); The applet only produces a gray square area, with so signs of any interactivity. When the applet does work, using the official JDK, the applet displays a screen of my server, which I can use to remote control it. Please note that on AMD64, I'm forced to using IcedTea as the official Sun JRE does not provide a web plugin! _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openjdk More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
