problem while caching java applets for offline

Question

Hi

we had to run java applets on offline from a html page that was captured by google gears. for caching applet we used cache_archive & cache_version. but it did not seem working

here i pointed out 3 traced errors:

error 1:
network: Cache entry not found [url: http: sample.net/applets/welcome.jar, 

version: 1.1.3.2] network: Connecting http: sample.net/applets/welcome.jar?version-id=1.1.3.2 with proxy=DIRECT network: Connecting socket: sample.net with proxy=DIRECT java.net.UnknownHostException: sample.net

error 2:
network: Cache entry not found

[url: http: sample.net/com.transmdi.TransMDI/com/GeneralApplet.class, version: null]

error 3:
/class.class with proxy=DIRECT
network: Connecting socket: sample.net with proxy=DIRECT
load: class com.GeneralApplet.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.GeneralApplet.class

system configuration: Ubuntu,firefox 3.5.7 & jre 1.6

here OBJECT/EMBED tag we used:

***object-tag*** classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0000-ABCDEFFEDCBA"

name="generalapp" height="0" width="0" param value="com.GeneralApplet.class" name="CODE" param value="welcome.jar" name="archive" param value="welcome.jar" name="cache_archive" param value="1.1.3.5" name="cache_version" param value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.6" name="type"

Answer 1

embed archive="welcome.jar" archive="welcome.jar"

Is this supposed to be listed twice?

Also look at this for selecting the cache option whether your using the browser or the plugin to cache the jar.

cache_option and cache_archive can only be specified once per EMBED/OBJECT tag. In addition, both attributes must be specified. If either cache_archive or cache_option are missing, Java Plug-in will treat the applet normally using the archive attribute.
