problem signing applet in Windows NT

Posted by arknaren on March 30, 2001 at 12:33 PM

Hi everyone,

I have some problem signing the applet with Window NT.

The code that i have written is signed in windows 2000

and it is working fine all the machine(win9X,NT,2000)

If i signed the same code in Windows NT, it is not working

in any machine. Here is a sample of code.

I have used Microsoft IE Java

this is the piece of code

(1)DataOutputStream dos;
(2)URL codeBase=getCodeBase();
(3)URL u;
(4)u = new URL(codeBase,"xxx.exe");
(5)URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
(6)inStream = uc.getInputStream();
(7)dos = new DataOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\xxx.exe")));
(8)BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(inStream);

The code is failing in line # 6. It is giving nullpointer
exception.

code is basically getting the xxx.exe from the cab file
and writting to client machine

Please help me.
