Konqueror and Java problem in KDE 3.2
 

Hi, I am running Mandrake 10.0 CE.
I am trying to get Java to work in the Konqueror browser on KDE 3.2. I already configured Konqueror to use Java correctly. However, when I try to start a Java applet on any website, the applet loads, and then complains that it has not been given the required privilege. This is how the error goes on any applet:

----
Applet X has not been given the required privilege:

java.security.AccessControlExemption
---

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Quote from the sunsite.
This exception is thrown by the AccessController to indicate that a requested access (to a critical system resource such as the file system or the network) is denied.

Check your permissions on your java dire and applet dire.

I checked and modified the java and applet directories to have the appropriate permissions, but I still get the same error. Also, I tried java using Netscape 7.1, and the applets worked just fine without any error.

Any ideas?

I assume that netscrape is using it's own jre, check the preferences to be sure.

If it isn't working, how do you know it is configured correctly?

Which jre are you trying to use?
9.2 came with blackdown and just typing 'java' into the konqueror settings should have worked, but didn't. I develop in java and have the j2sdk from sun, so I pointed it at that instead.

I think I phrased that incorrectly. What I meant to say was that I put the correct location of the 'java' executable in the Konqueror settings. Like I said, that applets load, but I just get that error.

.I'm using j2re1.4.2_04 downloaded off the Sun website as an .rpm.

If you used the rpm then you only need to enter the word java into the settings path.
If that doesn't work, make sure the path to the binary is correct. You want it to point at a binary file called java in the bin directory. eg.

/java/j2sdk/bin/java

Thanks, it finally works! Typing in just 'java' seemed to do the trick.
