Problem Applet Error

I have the following error:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'evalID'

on the following line:

var result = LMSTestSCODriver.evalID( query1 + "!" + query2 );

LMSTestSCODriver is a Java Applet:

<object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width = "1"

Please help me.

evalID

Is that method defined in the LMSTestSCODriver class?

How did you compile the code without having a definition for that class? Did you use a jar file that is not available to the java command when you execute the program?


Is this a javascript problem?
Wrong forum for javascript!!!

Yes. evalID is defined in the LMSTestSCODriver and I'm using jar file.

The code you posted looks like javascript.
var result = LMSTestSCODriver.evalID( query1 + "!" + query2 );
Where is this line in the java code?

No No. The following line is a JavaScript code that is going to call the evalID which is a Java code in the Applet.

var result = LMSTestSCODriver.evalID( query1 + "!" + query2 );

Can you make a SSCCE to demonstrate the problem. Something what we can copy, compile and test on our PCs.

I attached a file containing the mentioned Applet to this post. The attached file is a .zip file. You should unzip it first. There is a folder named 'resources' in the unzipped folder. And there is also a file named 'AssetLaunchTest.htm' in the 'resources' folder that contains the mentioned Applet. Obviously, if you launch the 'AssetLaunchTest.htm' file on browser then the Applet will be called by JavaScript code as I said before and then you will see the error. If you have any more questions please let me know.

Thank you very much for your help.

Not the whole project.
I would like a small simple applet and with html to load it and some javascript that tries to connect to the applet. Very simple applet could use println to show that the connection was made and alert to show what was returned.

In fact, I'm a .Net developer and don't have enough information about Java Applet. I have to use this .zip file on my .Net web application. I don't have enough information to remove some parts of this Applet and make it simpler. I don't know what I should do Norm. If it's possible, please launch the mentioned .htm file on browser and let me know about the result.

Sorry too much code to wade through.
Have you checked your javascript code to be sure that is coded correctly?
Where did you get the javascript code you are using?

This .zip file has been developed by Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative. I think it would be correct without any mistakes because I said this issue to other experts in our field and no one said about mistakes in this .zip file. For example, I asked this question at scorm - Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn&#39;t support property or method &#39;evalID&#39; - Stack Overflow. Please read the post and let me know.

Thank you again.

Can you make a very simple program and html with javascript that shows the problem?

Have you tried other browsers?


The small test program will help locate your problem. If the small program works, then the problem could be in the large program.
If the small program does not work, it is a lot easier to track down a problem with a small program.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough science for making a Java Applet because I'm a .Net developer. I got this Java Applet from somewhere else and didn't developed it myself.

Yes. I launched it on other browsers but the problem is still there.

Ok Norm. Thank you. I will let you know.

Norm, the following is the output of my Java Console. Can you say that what is the problem? (thanks in advance)

Part of the problem. This error:

Norm,

The previous error was solved. The new Java Console error is the following:

Exception in thread "Thread-13" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.net.SocketPermission" "192.168.1.3:3956" "accept,resolve")

Applets can not connect to sockets other than from where they are loaded from without permission.

How can I give my Applet enough permission to solve the problem?

Two ways:
Put the class files in a jar and sign the jar
Add a Permission statement in the .java.policy file using the policytool program

Why is the applet trying to connect to a site?

My Applet is a Jar file. What do you mean by sign the jar, Norm?
Could you explain more, please?

Thank you

See the tutorial or Google. Signing is a security thing.

What code do I put in java.policy?

The filename begins with a .
Use the policytool program to edit the .java.policy file.
Here is a sample from my .java.policy file:

Quote:

---

grant codeBase "http://127.0.0.1:8080/Testing/-" {
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read, write";
permission java.io.FilePermission "<<ALL FILES>>", "read";
};

---

located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Norm\.java.policy

The following would open the gates for everthing:

Quote:

---

grant{
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

---

And another one used for testing:

Quote:

---

grant {
permission java.net.SocketPermission "www.exdfrds.com", "connect, resolve";
};

---
