JRE升级后Java Applet无法运行

Question

I had JRE 1.6 which was updated to 1.8.0_31. After this update my applet has stopped working and I am getting below error

I am using Jboss server and the server.xml file has been updated to use the correct Keystore and certificate using SSL.

I have added the https site which I am trying to access in the exception list of both the browser and JAVA control Panel. Cleared the cache of both and have also deleted the user certificate to ensure the latest certificate gets downloaded.

Kindly help to know the resolution steps.

I was able to remove the above issue by unchecking and checking back the "Enable java content on browser" check box in the java control panel. Still I am facing issues when the application is used by external set of users.

I observe that there are 2 sets of exceptions 1. Connection timeout 2. Class not getting loaded

All these issues started only after downloading JRE version 1.8.0_31-b13

basic: Added progress listener: sun.plugin.util.ProgressMonitorAdapter@195fb2b

Also getting class not found as below

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.cosl.security.GHB.api.MACApplet.class

Ignored exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.cosl.security.armor4c.api.MACApplet.class
basic: Dialog type is not candidate for embedding
security: Reset deny session certificate store

Any help on these is appreciated. Am stuck on this issue since 3 -4 weeks and there is no solution available anywhere

Answer 1

Have you verified your certificate for any junk chars? This seems to be a certificate error.
