Problem with loading an image from a java applet in 1.3.1.08 plugin

I'm having a problem loading an image from a java applet with the 1.3.1.08 plugin. Earlier versions of the plugin (1.3.1.01) work correctly and only changing the plugin causes the existing working code to fail.

Basically what I am doing is the following:

image = applet.createImage((ImageProducer) applet.getClass().getResource("/some/path/to/some/jpeg.jpg").getContent());

With the 1.3.1.08 plugin and Netscape 4.69 on HP-UX 11, this fails with a NullPointerException from the method "java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters" called from "java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandlers" called from java.net.URLConnection.getContent" called from "java.net.URL.getContent".

Like I said, this exact same code works under earlier plugin version, on a SunOS 4 and on WinNT/XP. Something obviously changed but I can find no information anywhere.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Go to www.hp.com/go/java

See that all required patches are loaded.

If no good then get later version and upgrade.

Try again
