Topic: Java applet doesn't seems to load

[big_gie]

Hi,

I've put a java applet on the web server which should read a video.

The java applet is the SimplePlayerApplet.java

here is the htlm's applet section:
<applet code=SimplePlayerApplet.class width=320 height=260>
<param name=file value="madrid.mpg">
</applet>

When I open the html locally, the video is played. But when I access the web site, the video wont play. In Firefox, I get a red "X" in the left-side-top corner of the grey boxe the size of the applet. In Opera, I have only the grey boxe and the Java console doesn't show anything.

I have another applet on the same server witch plays mp3 (TinyPlayer) and it works correctly.

What could be wrong? How can I check what is wrong? Is there a special log I should look at?

Thank you very much.

EDIT:
I checked the httpd/error_log from server-manager and got:

I think those files come from the Java  Media Framework.

RE-EDIT:
I double checked the variables needed:

...
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05"
PATH=$PATH":$JAVA_HOME/bin:/opt/JMF-2.1.1e/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05/jre/bin"
JMFHOME="/opt/JMF-2.1.1e"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$JMFHOME/lib"
CLASSPATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
...

and also:

[root@<server name> root]# /sbin/e-smith/config show CLASSPATH
CLASSPATH=/opt/JMF-2.1.1e/lib
[root@<server name> root]# /sbin/e-smith/config show JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05
[root@<server name> root]# /sbin/e-smith/config show PATH
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin:/opt/JMF-2.1.1e/bin:/root/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin
[root@<server name> root]# /sbin/e-smith/config show JMFHOME
JMFHOME=/opt/JMF-2.1.1e
[root@<server name> root]# /sbin/e-smith/config show LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/JMF-2.1.1e/lib
[root@<server name> root]#

This is driving me nuts
