java app in webbrowser control

[Mark_B]

I recognize that this question has a substantial Java component and I have
cross posted it on Sun’s website. But it is a problem of interface with
VS.NET and I suspect they will angrily redirect me to a .NET forum.

I have a device that serves a picture by way of a Java app. I can render the
picture in IE by navigating to the device: http://192.168.0.57/tvJVIEW.HTM
I can also fill a webbrowser control with the image:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.Navigate("http://192.168.0.57/tvJVIEW.HTM");
}

On a second machine, running XP 64, I can also render the image in IE.
The C# webbrowser navigates to the device – as evidenced by a logon dialog.
Then a vshost security warning pops up:

“The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to install this
software?
Name 192.168.0.57...publisher unknownâ€

I click the “Install†button. The dialog disappears. The webbrowser control
remains blank except it has a small box in the upper left with an x in it.

The Java Platform Standard Edition icon is in the system tray.

Can anyone help me configure this machine to show the image.

Is this an eolas issue?

how is the java applet added to the page? with an applet tag? or an object
tag?

Hi Leon

The source from the IE page:

<form action="/TVJVIEW.htm" method="POST">
<APPLET name="wxyz" CODEBASE="http://192.168.0.57/" CODE="xplug.class">
</APPLET>
</form>

Again, the image does render in IE and there is no activex installation
dialog.

Hi Mark.

try converting the HTML to use the <object> tag instead. I bet this solves
your problem.
