[BUG]? Cannot get applet running on Windows [SOLVED]

[thefrog]

Hello everyone,

I cannot get an applet to run with LWJGL 2.9.3 and Java 1.8.0.31.
I made a simple applet wich runs in netbeans no problem.

package lwjglappletExample;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Canvas;
import org.lwjgl.LWJGLException;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.Display;
import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;

public class LwjglAppletExample extends Applet{
	Canvas display_parent;
	Thread gameThread;
	boolean running = false;
        float r=0,r2=0,r3=0;
 
	public void startLWJGL() {
		gameThread = new Thread() {
			public void run() {
				running = true;
				try {
					Display.setParent(display_parent);
					Display.create();
					initGL();
				} catch (LWJGLException e) {
					e.printStackTrace();
					return;
				}
				gameLoop();
			}
		};
		gameThread.start();
	}
 
	private void stopLWJGL() {
		running = false;
		try {
			gameThread.join();
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
 
	public void start() {
 
	}
 
	public void stop() {
 
	}
 
	public void destroy() {
		remove(display_parent);
		super.destroy();
	}
 
	public void init() {
		setLayout(new BorderLayout());
		try {
			display_parent = new Canvas() {
				public final void addNotify() {
					super.addNotify();
					startLWJGL();
				}
				public final void removeNotify() {
					stopLWJGL();
					super.removeNotify();
				}
			};
			display_parent.setSize(getWidth(),getHeight());
			add(display_parent);
			display_parent.setFocusable(true);
			display_parent.requestFocus();
			display_parent.setIgnoreRepaint(true);
			setVisible(true);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			System.err.println(e);
			throw new RuntimeException("Unable to create display");
		}
	}
 
	protected void initGL() {
             // init OpenGL
    GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_PROJECTION);
    GL11.glLoadIdentity();
    GL11.glOrtho(0, 800, 0, 600, 1, -1);
    GL11.glMatrixMode(GL11.GL_MODELVIEW);
	}
 
	public void gameLoop() {

            while(running) {
                     GL11.glClear(GL11.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL11.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);  
        r+=0.1f;
//        r2+=0.01f;
//        r3+=0.3f;
        
        GL11.glColor3f(0.5f,0.5f,1.0f);
        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glTranslatef(400f,300f,0f);
        GL11.glRotatef(r,0f,0f,1f);
        GL11.glScalef(1.2f,1.2f,1.2f);
        drawQuad();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();


        Display.sync(60);
	Display.update();
		}
 
		Display.destroy();
	}    
        void drawQuad() {
        GL11.glBegin(GL11.GL_QUADS);
        GL11.glVertex2f(-100,-100);
        GL11.glVertex2f(100,-100);
        GL11.glVertex2f(100,100);
        GL11.glVertex2f(-100,100);
        GL11.glEnd();
        }    
}

Here is the html applet tag to run the applet

<applet 
	code="org.lwjgl.util.applet.AppletLoader" archive="lib/lwjgl_util_applet.jar"
	codebase="http://www.lagence3d.com/~dressingtest/"

<param name="java_arguments" value="-Xms256m -Xmx512m">
<param name="al_title" value="Test Applet LWJGL">
<param name="al_jars" value="LwjglAppletExample.jar, lib/lwjgl.jar,lib/lwjgl_util.jar,lib/lwjgl_util_applet.jar,lib/lwjgl-debug.jar">
<param name="al_main" value="lwjglappletExample.LwjglAppletExample">
<param name="progressbar" value="true">
<param name="al_windows" value="lib/windows.jar">
<param name="al_debug" value="true">

</applet>

All jars are signed with a valid certificate. The manifest of the main Jar, contains all the required entries

Application-Name: LWJGL Applet Example
Permissions: all-permissions
Codebase: http://www.lagence3d.com
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: http://www.lagence3d.com
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: http://www.lagence3d.com

The natives are correctly deployed in
C:\Users\[MyName]\AppData\Local\Temp\lwjglcache\www.lagence3d.com\Test Applet LWJGL\natives
I see the lwjgl logo and progress bar

Here is the error I get

I canââ,¬â,,¢t see what I've done wrong. Iââ,¬â,,¢ve tried many things, playing with the codebase, add other lwjgl jars, using older version of lwjgl (9.2 & 9.1) but to no avail.

I wonder if someone could provide a demo of a working applet page

Thanks for your help and your time.

This is a classic classpath issue, add the rest of the lwjgl jars to 

archive="lib/lwjgl_util_applet.jar"

in the applet definition.

Thanks for your reply.

I've added

archive="lib/lwjgl_util_applet.jar, LwjglAppletExample.jar, lib/lwjgl.jar, lib/lwjgl_util.jar"

But I still get the same error message, The difference is I get the message sooner now. On the first line of the console.

Ok, so this is how I got it working.

Downloaded the source of the applet launcher 2.9.1
Modified the manifest to add my server name

Manifest-Version: 1.0
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build
Application-Name: LWJGL Applet Loader
Permissions: all-permissions
Codebase: http://www.lagence3d.com
Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: http://www.lagence3d.com
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: http://www.lagence3d.com

Recompiled
Signed

And that's it.

So if I got things right, It means you cannot use the applet launcher as-is, you have to modify the manifest (?)
The original line in the manifest "Codebase: * " seemed to cause the problem.
