title: Applet not working
body: <p>I have Websphere 8.5.5.4 running on JRE 1.7.0. I have a applet that works on JRE -1.6. All client machines are running JRE 1.5.0_15. Logging and Tracing are enabled and the console to show. IE 8 is the client browsers.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>When I access the webpage, the applet fails to load. There is not even an error icon or anything, console does not open. When I go to http server log path and check for errors, there is an entry in the file when I access the webpage, however no error.</li>
  <li>Applet is working in JRE 1.6.0_07 version.</li>
  <li>Applet is not working in JRE 1.5.0_15 version.</li>
  <li>Is there any relation between the client JRE version and the JRE version running on the Server?</li>
  <li>Any specific configuration needs to be added for WAS 8.5.4</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Getting the below error while loading with JRE 1.5.0_15</p>

  <p>Summarizing, applet does not work in JRE 1.5.0_15 version and working only in  JRE 1.6.0_07  version. I expect it should work in JRE 1.5.0_15 version.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
