Static plugin selection don't work in Firefox and MSIE 7?

I need use a defined version of Java plugin running my applet 1.5.0_12.

Using MSIE it takes the latest version (1.6.0_01 if installed).

Using Firefox it fails (requiring plugin installation) if 1.6.0_01i is installed; if I remove it the correct version was run.

How can I solve that issue in both environments ?

Firefox seems also to ignore CLSID, is it correct ?TksTullio

Do you really need a specific version of Java? It would seem that IE is running 1.6, not the one you've specified, anyway.You might try switchingapplication/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.5.0_12toapplication/x-java-applet;version=1.5

I tried and, in that case, 1.6 is started and not 1.5 : that's my problem.TksTullio

Perhaps a Secure static versioning problem:

See this SUN alert:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102557-1

I had to set the following registry key to 0 to get the old behaviour back:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Deployment\Policy

-> EnableSecureStaticVersioning

However - generally your applet should not require a specific patch level. This is bad, specially in corporate environments, because it prevents administrators to patch their systems.

I agree but my problem is avoid the startup of 1.6 because the software I use is not certified against 1.6 ( and some rumors of problems are present on the net).TksTullio
