Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the issue of accessing Java applets on a specific website, particularly focusing on why they are blocked despite attempts to add the site to an exception list. Participants share their experiences and troubleshooting steps related to Java applet security settings and browser compatibility.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports being unable to view Java applets on a specific site despite adding it to the exception list and rebooting their computer.
  • Another participant suggests that the issue may be related to security settings in Java and provides links to Java's help resources for Mac users.
  • A different participant mentions a similar error occurring on Windows when opening Java applications with specific connections, implying that the problem may not be limited to Mac users.
  • There is a suggestion to add every page of the site to the exception list as a potential workaround.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the cause of the issue or the effectiveness of the proposed solutions. Multiple viewpoints and troubleshooting steps are presented without resolution.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include potential differences in Java versions, browser settings, and operating systems that may affect the ability to access Java applets. The discussion does not clarify whether the applets themselves are still functional or if the issue is solely related to security settings.

I am trying to view some possibly old java applets on this site:
http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/bookI/bookI.html

I keep getting promoted that they are blocked. I have tried to add this site to the exception list but it has not changed anything. I closed all pages, and have since shut down and rebooted my computer and still not change. Any ideas?

I have java version 8 update 40 - the most up today java. I am running a mac. Have tried in both safari and google chrome with no luck

If it does not work add this to exception list: http://aleph0.clarku.edu/ [if it doesn't work add every page as a website Example: http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/
Those idiots did it
