Applet errors when loading from high-ascii folder
California Paladin
I wrote an applet that runs fine except when the web-page is launched
from a folder containing high-ascii characters (actually german
characters). I get the following error:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range:
65
at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.www.ParseUtil.unescape(Unknown Source)
at sun.net.www.ParseUtil.decode(Unknown Source)

at sun.plugin.AppletViewer.appletInit(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin.viewer.LifeCycleManager.initAppletPanel(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin.viewer.WNetscapePluginObject$Initer.run(Unknown Source)
I find that the applet's constructor is not even called. This appears
to be happening even before my code starts to run. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Supplies two URL's pointing to the same applet, one in
a directory with the high-ascii chars. one not)

Just for the record: There is no such thing as high-ascii characters.
ASCII is a seven bit code. If your characters use higher codes they are
not ASCII.

Rename the directory. The applet's URL is formed from the path, and
non-ASCII characters are not valid characters in a URL.

What supplies two URL's? Do you mean that the Webpage should be in
two places? Because that is not really an acceptable answer, since
this is a commercial applet, and the user should be able to put it
anywhere.
Does JAVA have a bug related to launching applets from folders that
contain high ascii characters? If so, is there a work-around?
Thanks

That is a (one word) question. Where is your applet, what is the URL?

Typo. I meant 'Supply two URL's (to us for further testing)'
But I think Thomas' answer actually answers the question.
(shrugs) I was prepared to 'look into it' if you supplied two
URL's, whereas his answer indicates a good deal more experience
with the problem.

Thomas:
Thanks for the help. Can I ask another question about URLs and ASCII?
Does this mean that no Java applet can be run from a website that has
German characters that contain umlauts?
Thanks again,

Andrew:
I appreciate the help. Sorry I misunderstood your original answer.
Unfortunately, I cannot publish the URL, since it is still under
construction and my company does not allow pre-release access.
