EVALUATION In the stack trace, ClassFormatError is thrown. This means that the applet was compiled using an out-of-dated Java compiler that generated class file which is not conformed to the VM spec. To resolve this issue, the applet needs to be recompiled using a newer Java compiler. This is an user error. stanley.ho@Eng 2001-02-20
