No access to website java applet

[BeachBuddah]

Hello all - I'm trying to use a website www.jmeeting.com. There is a java applet that is supposed to run to see the chat rooms and cams but every time I go to the site I get an error message "Exception starting applet". I have installed the sun jave -jre from the Synaptic package manager and am unsure what to do next.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

You need to make sure that the Sun JDK / JRE is the default one being used.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Then make sure the sun one is the selected option. That is usual problem I have run into.

Thank you for your response. I did as suggested and I DO now have Sun Java as my java platform but it didn't help with jmeeting. I still get the same error panel coming up.

I'm not sure what to do here, since it offers me the option of a report but it's lengthy - should I post it?

Yes post it, it might be the only clue as to what is the issue.

Make sure you put the report in the code quotes, or it may be formatted incorrectly.

Hi - sorry for the delay in my response. Anyway attached is a screenshot of the log file that is generated when I try to login to the site. Sorry but I couldn't figure out how to post the file in here...

All seems to be well until the nasty exception comes along and stops the process dead in it's tracks.

I don't think I have any other problems with the Sun Java package. Someone suggested it might be a problem with their code at the site. Ideas?

Any clue, anyone?

Try to uninstall IcedTea Java browser plugin:

sudo apt-get remove icedtea6-plugin

And make sure you have installed Sun Java browser plugin:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

Finally restart your browser and try again

Lykeion!

Truly amazing - I never even heard of Iced Tea, let alone realized I had it installed. But it made all the difference. (I already had gotten the Sun Java installed) But now it works. Thank You very much.
