I can access this site http://charting.bseindia.com from windows without a problem
Its a Java applet to see stocks

Also in windows using appletviewer I can run the applet
C:\> appletviewer http://charting.bseindia.com

While in UBUNTU neither can i access the site nor the applet runs properly
It only loads partially and then breaks
Even though java is installed and java plugins are enabled

While running appletviewer in UBUNTU I get this problem

java.lang.NullPointerException
at equis.metastock.MS4Java.repaint([DashoPro-V1.2-120198])

Please help me run this applet on ubuntu
It is one of the reasons why i still have to use windows

Thanks

Which version of java do you use?

EDIT: And it is possible to write something in Java which is platform dependent.

Try installing the Sun version of java, if it's not already installed. (the package is called sun-java5-jre)
Then run "sudo update-alternatives --config java" and choose the sun version.

On windows its sun java 5.
On ubuntu i have tried sun java 5 as well as 6.

This is GNU java right?

Yes, you might have to set the path for sun java. Try java -version in the terminal, if the response is of some gcj version you would have to set path for sun java that you have already installed.

Dude those things are set...
Java is perfectly installed on my computer...

I am only wondering why the right applet does not load
the left applet loads perfectly

My bad, sorry for jumping the gun there.

Can anyone please successfully run this Java app on your ubuntu machine?
