Hello,
We have two applets, one which uses 1.3.1 and one which uses 1.4.2_08
If we start the 1.3.1 applet up and then in another browser window start 1.4.2_08 we receive a popup "register failk", which closes all of the browser. If we start 1.4.2_08 first then 1.3.1 they both work.
Short of changing both applets to use 1.4.2_08 how can we get both Java plugin's to work?
Only one version of java can be registered with a type of browser at any moment. That is, even multiple instances of the browser (IE/moz/Firefox) are launched, only one version of Java can be loaded up on them. If you switch the version java version, all instances of the browsers must be restarted for the new version to be in effect.
Sounds to me that your 1.3.1 applet statically requires 1.3.1 or older version to operate, while your 1.4.2 applet statically requires 1.4.2_08 or oder version to operate. This is why both applets work fine with 1.4.2_08, but 1.4.2 applet won't work with 1.3.1 java.
