Help Please

[AndyN]

We have Filemaker 18 server with Supercontainers installed, the client machine has Filemaker advanced 18 - 32bit with java 32bit installed. I have tried the 64bit version and have the same issue.

I have added the server IP to the java security settings, along with allowing active X controls in internet settings.

I am getting the following error when the applet tries to load.

com.prosc.supercontainer.FileviewApplet

Any help on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Andy,

I am getting the following error when the applet tries to load.

To clarify, are you referring to the Java applet where the SuperContainer URL has "applet=true" in it? If so, then the Java applet has not been supported for sometime as Oracle as well as most, if not all, browsers have dropped support for it. If you are using this parameter in your URL, you will need to remove it.

If that is not what you are referring to, can you elaborate on the issue? Where are you seeing this error?

Hi, Thanks for the reply, the code we have is as follows :-

"http://192.168.0.150/SuperContainer/Files/Projects/" & T16_PROJECTS::ID_Project &"/1/"&"?style=applet"

So yes it is the applet. what do you recommend changing this to ?

Removing it means that SuperContainer no longer tries to load the Java applet and will use HTML. The Java applet was mostly leveraged for drag and drop functionality for browsers that didn't support it. Most browser now support drag and drop.

Ok, this is being used inside filemaker, not on a webpage. will drag and drop still work in this case after removing the &"?Style=applet" part.

[ryan360Works]

Web viewers are essentially a browser so their behavior will be the same as in Safari or IE depending on the OS you are using. I believe both Safari and IE support drag and drop now

[AndyN]

Oh ok, so let me get this straight, the windows 10 browser will support the drag and drop feature so the applet is no longer required.

Is that the correct bit of code i need to remove ?

[ryan360Works]

Correct, remove the

&"?style=applet"

from the URL
