J2SE 5.0 redirects applets to java.com
Hello Tomcat users and gurus (Dev too). I have been using Tomcat and some version of jdk for several years. Tomcat is my servlet server of choice mostly on Linux systems when my employers allow such things. I recently downloaded the lastest (yesterday) binary for Windows XP. Seeing that the new Tomcat will only run under the new J2SE 5.0 I downloaded and installed: jdk1.5.0_01 executable. After installation the old familiar Tomcat page came up as usual at: http://localhost:8080. What happened next is for my part inexplicable. I lost all ability to run any type of applet except for: file://<someapplet>.html. Any applets using: HTTP:// where redirected to: http://java.com with the new Java Logo animated sunburst in the middle of the webpage. All applets regardless of source: local or public IP where re-directed to: http://java.com. The remedy was to uninstall J2SE 5.0. Needless to say I am severely hampered by not being able to run Tomcat because of a wayward jdk. I have sent this problem to java.com contact email but so-far ignored by java.com. If anyone has any comments, suggestions, remedies, rants or raves please reply.

Re: J2SE 5.0 redirects applets to java.com
Posted by "David W. Brown" <dw...@webitplanet.com>.
Hello Doug, thanks for the speedy reply. I am running TC 5.5. I really do not want to upgrade a lower revision with compat patches. The new Java Logo is not on the desktop. The Java Logo consumes the entire webpage and MSIE window fired up to navigate to an applet. I cannot block using the firewall because there is no URL or IP to reference unless I want to block the target URL or block myself. The redirection does not occur until I click the New Java Logo sunburst image (sorry I was not clear). The URL displayed in the address bar of the browser (MSIE) contains the target applet address I am trying to launch. All-the-while the MSIE browser is displaying the New Java Logo with no mouse options available to look at the source or do anything other than re-navigate or kill the window.
I will take a chance with a re-install and see what I can do in the Control Panel with changing options, parameters or whatever. Unless Control Panel options work there is definitely something wrong with the jdk.
Thanks,
David.

Which version of Tomcat did you download?
If 5.0.x , it will run on 1.4.x jdk.
If 5.5.x, it will run on 1.5 (or 5.0) JRE and with the compat patch it will
also run on jdk 1.4.x
I think the new 1.5 java has an update feature and some other things???
built into it that has it phone home. The applet should still run. I have
see the new logo on my desktop and applets run fine.
You may try to block the app from getting to the Internet with a firewall.
The 1.5 adds a Java setting console to Control Panel. It allows you to turn
off updates and make other changes.
Doug

David,
if you run applets under Windows, you may need to
completely remove all older Java Plug-ins to clean
Windows Registry and re-install latest Java Plug-in
again.
Than "redirect" to Sun web site should not occur.
