jide and jdk1.6.0_11

[knatesan]

I am using the WebIntelligence Java Report Panel 11,5,8,826 which uses this component. When I have jdk1.5.0_13. The applet gets loaded correctly but when I have jdk 1.6.0_11 is used in the browser then the applet throws the following error. Any idea what could be the problem?
Is there a updated jar needed somewhere?

The only reason for NoClassDefFoundError is the runtime class path is messed up. Is there any cache for the jars in your system that still has the old jars? Maybe it happens that the jars are not there for jdk6. Try to clean the cache if you can and try again.

This is happening when in IE7.0 you run the WebIntelligence Java Report Panel 11,5,8,826.
The following is the Java Console out put. If the JIDE jar is missing in jdk6. Do I need to intsall it separately?
I did not do it when jre 1.5.0_13 was used. This applet worked fine with kre1.5.0_13.

I really suspect it is a cache thing. In Java control panel, there is a button to clear the cached jars.

Thanks.

Closed all the browsers.
I did the cache clean.
Started the new browser.
Made sure the JRE 1.6.0_11 is selected. The JSR 1.5.0_13 was also there ( I have tried with this selected and deselected and JRE 1.5.0_13 uninstalled)
The behavior is exactly the same.

I am attaching the
selected JRE, loaded files in Java Cache from Java Control Panel as JPEG file
The Java Console output the Error text.

I strongly believe there is a difference in loading the jar files in the applet with JRE 1.6.0_11.
The interesting part is if I deselect JRE 1.6.0_11 and select 1.5.0_13 everything is fine!!
If you let me know what the porblem could be I would appreciate it.
Thanks

I haven't read through all of your posts, but as a matter of course when faced with a problem as you describe, I start ruling out everything that I can. I suggest temporarily upgrading your java 6 to the very latest version to see if the problem changes. If the problem stays the same then you can at least tentatively rule out a JVM issue.

I suspected that as well and tested with JRE 1.7.0. I had the same error message.

I downloaded a jar file containing com.jidesoft.dialog.PageListener.class from findjar.com

using an archiver like ZIP I removed all classes except PageListener.class from the jar file.

I put the jar file in program files/jre/lib/ext and it fixed the problem with "Prompts" dialog in the applet in JRE 1.6 -- no more classNotFound error.


Interestingly, the "Prompts" dialog does not have this error on JRE 1.5, even with the fact that thincadencz.jar does not contain PageListener.class

Possibly PageListener.class is not used but is refered by some other classes in the applet. And JRE 1.6 is trying to load the classes even if the are not used, but mentioned in "import" section

Could you get the jide common jar from https://jide-oss.dev.java.net instead of from other sites?

Thanks,

At that moment I did not know I could download the JAR from jidesoft

but in any case it's (1) really not a solution which can be rolled out company-wide.

The conclusion is that WEBI is not compatible with JRE 1.6(*) and only works with 1.5.

* possibly future updates to JRE 1.6 will be compatible with WEBI again.

Sorry, I really can't understand your post.
