Java Applet Failed to Load

[MrFile]

Guys,

As a .NET developer i am having a bit of a problem trying to figure out
whats wrong with this Java Embedded application i was asked to deploy
via IIS 6.0. THis application works just fine when installed locally
from the CD but when i install it on a box with IIS and try to share it
out the Java Applet is failing to start. (Sun Java Console error
details below).

The same Applet works just fine on my local machine where this
application is also installed. Any ideas would be appreciated.

[Tor Iver Wilhelmsen]

com.rational.rpw.processtools.ContextRupPresenter.<clinit>(ContextRupPresenter.java:42)

Something on line 42 of that class threw an exception. Since it's an
initializer block (in this case, static initialization), it was
generalized. The real exception is further down:

Caused by: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for
base name com.rational.rpw.processtools.PROCESSTOOLS, locale en_US

Basically your applet's classpath contains neither
com.rational.rpw.processtools.PROCESSTOOLS.class nor
com/rational/rpw/processtools/PROCESSTOOLS.properties.

The rest of the trace seems to be follow-up exceptions related to
missing libraries.

com.rational.rpw.processtools.Translations.<clinit>(Translations.java:17)

This looks like the culprit. Find the source code for
com.rational.proccesstools.Translations. look in the static
initialisation on line 17. tell us what you see.
