Applets are a client side technology not a server side one. This means
that applets are executed by browsers, not by Tomcat. As far as Tomcat
is concerned, an applet is just a file delivered to the browser.
This is a bug in the applet you are using or possibly an error in the
way you are using it.
Also, if you look at the stack trace, it is all from the
sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPanel class which is not a Tomcat class.

hi ,
I click and browse through some of the features accessing applets in
the application, quite often I get the following "Null Pointer
Exception" in the java console.
I really do not understand the cause of the problem.I am using
tomcat4.1.
the error is :
Exception in thread "Thread-47" java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPanel.paint(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPanel.setImage(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPanel.setCustomImage(Unknown Source)

at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter$1.run(Unknown Source)

Next time when I repeat the same scenario I get the following:
Exception in thread "Thread-182" java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPanel.paint(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPanel.setImage(Unknown Source)

at sun.plugin.util.GrayBoxPainter$1.run(Unknown Source)

I do not really know if it is really a Tomcat issue or not..
Any help or pointers would be of immense help.
Thanks in advance.
