Neither NetView 6.0 or 6.0.1supplied the Java plugin required to use the
Web Client via a web browser. It was usually a requirement to acquire the
plugin from Sun's web site, although Sun made updates to this plugin which
were incompatible with the Web Client, so we started making the original
plugin available from our ftp site on request.
Upgrading from NetView 6.0 to 6.0.1 did not require an upgrade in the Java
plugin. I run the "plugin1_1_3-win.exe" with 6.0.1 without a problem.
The Java Runtime environment (JRE) is a separate item. It is supplied with
NetView. The only supported JRE Runtime environment is 1.1.8 (except
Solaris which is 1.1.7). Again this was never upgraded when going from
NetView version 6.0 to 6.0.1.
If you have ever had a need to remove an old java plugin and replace it, it
is possible that a problem occured at this point. Are you sure you have the
plugin "plugin1_1_3-win.exe" installed correctly ? I agree with Bill that
running the Web Client as a stand-alone application is probably more
convenient at this point and if this works, then it does point to your
current plugin version.

Subject: Re: [NV-L] Java plug for web access
I believe the 1.1.3 plug-in from 6.0 may work although the version
supplied with 6.0.1 is 1.1.8. The java applet also changed in 6.0.1.
I recommend running the Web Client as an application; it's more
controllable and easier to install and administer. I downloaded the
new version of the applet from NetViewNodeName:8080/download after
upgrading to 6.0.1. The 6.0 applet may have been cached by your browser
or something similar. See /usr/OV/www/htdocs/download /README.html and
.../Running.html for details.
