Differences between Sun JVM and Microsoft JVM.

[Chris Grimble]

I have a very simple applet that I am trying to make compatible with
both Microsoft's JVM and Suns JVM in Internet Explorer.
However, when I turn on the Sun JVM it works occasionally, but
frustratingly on most occasions I get the following error messages:

In the status bar: "Applet <name> notinited"

And when I investigate further in the console I get the following
output:

load: class <name>.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: <name>.class

It appears that the applet never gets loaded. I have no idea why?
What is the Sun JVM doing here?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

The clue was in the question - did you not notice the bit saying
"Malformed reply from SOCKS server" ? This is the first thing you
should investigate...

If you have access to them, try checking any error logs for your
SOCKS service, that should give you a few important pointers.
Check that the plugin is configured correctly. If you have one,
try pointing the plugin towards a web proxy instead, and see what
results you get.
