Java chat trouble

Urban Ranger · February 26, 2003, 05:07

Not sure if this was posted.

When I tried Java chat the RTE came back with a message about signer of some of the bits does not match the rest.

Quote:

java.lang.SecurityException: class "Ident"s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package.

Well Marcos?

Skanky Burns · March 5, 2003, 07:12

I get that too, and can't use the chatroom as a consequence.

Actual there are two threads in this forum already. Unfortunatly no reply from Marcos so far. And I can't use the java chat room, either.

i asked about this a while ago and never got a response

I've gotten it to work to 2 out of the 12 different computers I tried it on. or 1 out of 6 different kinds of computers I tried it on. I believe it was an old IBM p2 lab that got the java chat client to work.

just use mIRC or other such client

H Tower · March 5, 2003, 17:02

mIrc is unavailable in the computer labs on campus

ColdWizard · March 5, 2003, 17:47

unavailable meaning you can't install anything?

Skanky Burns · March 5, 2003, 19:17

Most computer labs won't let you install any software.

ColdWizard · March 5, 2003, 20:04

the one i worked at did, but it was a small school and it was a while ago.

perhaps those that can't get in with the java chat can take small solace in there's generally not a lot going on in the chat aside from slappings, incoherent ramblings and the occasional funny link

Method · March 5, 2003, 20:06

the computers at my school erase everything new you put on their c: drives. lucky for me, we have our own personal drives on the network and i was able to install opera. meaning i'll never have to use IE again

J Bytheway · March 6, 2003, 16:29

I had this bug when I installed the Java SDK and it took over my IE's default behaviour. To get it working I had to revert to the Microsoft Virtual Machine again. This suggests it might be either a problem with the MS VM, or dependant on which version of Java you have.

Urban Ranger · March 7, 2003, 01:08

You can select the JRE to be either the default JVM or not. Besides, I don't use IE, so that's not a problem.

But that's such a bother

Besides, I don't want to stick IRC clients on all the computers I use to access 'Poly.

I must agree here and as H Tower already pointed out that isn't possible on every computer Apolytoners could use.

So Marcos when you fix this M$-Bug, I don't believe that newer Java versions aren't backwards compartible.

It shouldn't be that difficult, the Java chat client used to work quite well.

Frozzy · March 12, 2003, 01:37

Not meaning to crash on the +1 party, but the Java chat works sweet for me.

Martin Gühmann · March 14, 2003, 14:46

Still doesn't work for me.

-Martin

ColdWizard · March 14, 2003, 14:57

works fine for me, are y'all getting that jpilot software thingy and allowing it?

H Tower · March 14, 2003, 15:33

yes, should we not be?

ColdWizard · March 14, 2003, 15:37

you should be, but that was my only idea of why it wouldn't work

J Bytheway · March 17, 2003, 14:57

Is it working for anyone not using IE?

It even does not work if I start slow M$ I¤ 5.5. So it is the Java Virtual Machine, so Marcos when will the chat work with a good JVM?

Martin Gühmann · March 22, 2003, 20:22

As I saw the other thread about the mIRC chat, I thought it is time that this thread gets an answer, Markos.

"SecurityException: class "ident"s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the....." What's wrong?

The problem is caused by a change in the security model between JDK 1.1 and the Java 2 platform. In the Java 2 platform, classes from the same package are required to be signed from the same signer. Apparently, classes from the same package in your applet are signed from different signer, so the error message was displayed. To fix this issue, you may want to contact the web site and ask them to sign the applet properly.

Skanky Burns · March 24, 2003, 19:03

/me hands Markos a pen.

Martin Gühmann · March 30, 2003, 16:28

Well, Markos any prgress in fixing the Java chat?

-Martin

Martin Gühmann · April 5, 2003, 17:05

Interesting that this thread seemed to be disappeared, afterwards I set the number of displayed threads per page for that forum to 50 I found it.

Well the main question when is the Java Chat room is fixed is still not answered.

-Martin

Skanky Burns · April 5, 2003, 21:13

Alas, I still can't access the chatroom via java.

Nope, not even with Sun's version.
