Whenever I use getContent() to get an object from the server, I get the
following message:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun/net/www/content/text/plain
at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:393)
at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:186)
at RemoteRetrieval.get(RemoteRetrieval.java:109)
at texteg.run(texteg.java:52)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:289)
The RemoteRetrieval.get() and texteg.run() are my own custom classes. The
RemoteRetrieval class encapsulates all the steps from creating the URL to
getting the object, just to make life easier because I will probably be
getting a lot of things back from the server this way.
This exception message occurs only in Netscape, and not when using the
appletviewer. Usually, Netscape will give security exceptions which the
appletviewer won't; that I understand -- the above exception, I don't. It
occurs after I've created the URL, verified it, made a connection to it, and
then try to retrieve it. It seems to know it's a text file (which it is),
but I don't understand that stuff about "sun/net/www/content/text/plain",
"getContentHandler", etc.
I had this exception once before, but the text file was retrieved anyway,
everytime! Now the file isn't being retrieved at all.
Are these classes a bit buggy, or am I missing the boat on some other issue?
