Question

I’m developing a web server in Django, and in a page, I embed a Java Applet.

I have to pass to this applet a JSon array at the moment of instantiation. NO problems at all, I’ve tested it in Eclipse with no errors or problems.

The big problems came out when I put this on the web page.

First I tried with Jackson, here is the code on the page:

  <applet name="mapGenerator"
            id="mapGenerator"  
            code="main.MapGenerator.class"
            archive="{{STATIC_URL}}jar/MapGenerator.jar, 
                            {{STATIC_URL}}jar/plugin.jar
                            {{STATIC_URL}}jar/jackson-annotations-2.1.1.jar,
                            {{STATIC_URL}}jar/jackson-core-2.1.1.jar,
                            {{STATIC_URL}}jar/jackson-databind-2.1.1.jar"
                     >
                    <param name=id value="{{building.id}}">
                    <param name=piani value='{{floors}}'>  
            MAYSCRIPT
    </applet>

The Java code for parsing the Json:

  public static  Floor[] parse(String input, URL codebase) {

        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); // can reuse, share globally
    BaseFloor[] bfloors=null;

        try {
              bfloors = mapper.readValue(input, BaseFloor[].class);
    } catch (JsonParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (JsonMappingException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
          for (int i=0; i < bfloors.length; i++) {

        Floor f = new Floor(bfloors[i]);
        f.setCodeBase(codebase);
        floors[i] = f;
    }
    return floors;
}

And here it’s the error that I get in the Java console when I try to use it in the web page:

  Exception in thread "thread applet-main.MapGenerator.class-1" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonAutoDetect

... 7 more

So I tought about some strange implementation problem, and I tried with google-gson

As before here is the web page code:

   <applet name="mapGenerator"
            id="mapGenerator"  
            code="main.MapGenerator.class"
            archive="{{STATIC_URL}}jar/MapGenerator.jar, 
                            {{STATIC_URL}}jar/gson-2.2.2.jar,
                            {{STATIC_URL}}jar/plugin.jar
                     >
                    <param name=id value="{{building.id}}">
                    <param name=piani value='{{floors}}'>  
            MAYSCRIPT
    </applet>

And the Java code:

  public static  Floor[] parse(String input, URL codebase) {

    Gson gson = new Gson();

    BaseFloor[] bfloors = gson.fromJson(input, BaseFloor[].class);

    Floor[] floors = new Floor[bfloors.length];

    for (int i=0; i < bfloors.length; i++) {

        Floor f = new Floor(bfloors[i]);
        f.setCodeBase(codebase);
        floors[i] = f;
    }
    return floors;
}

I don’t get any error running the applet on Eclipse, but when I go testing on a web page… I get another error:

Here is the class BaseFloor that I’m tryng to parse, it’s in the same package of the static function:

  package objects;


  public class BaseFloor {

      public int numero_di_piano;
      public String link;
      public String bearing;

      public float getBearing() {
    return Float.parseFloat(bearing);
      }

      public int getFloor() {
    return numero_di_piano;
      }

      public String getLink() {
    return link;
      }

      public String toString() {
    return numero_di_piano + " " + bearing + " " + link;
      }
  }

And here is the JSON that I’m passing to the applet:

  [{"bearing": "354.00", "link": "/media/floors/Foto_del_63333991-02-2455618_alle_17_35_6.jpg", "numero_di_piano": 0}, {"bearing": "354.00", "link": "/media/floors/IMG_20111009_171138_7.jpg", "numero_di_piano": 1}]

I’m curious: is it a problem of my implementation of the code, or is it a problem of security, because my applet isn’t signed so the reflection cannot be used?

If you need something, ask freely.

Thank you in advance.

EDIT

I’ve tried what you suggested @Nikita, and the error changed!

Try to insert comma after {{STATIC_URL}}jar/plugin.jar in your page. May be java plugin ignores jackson-annotations.jar because of this and you get NoClassDefFoundError.
Here is a similar question: NoClassDefFoundError JsonAutoDetect while parsing JSON object and missing jackson-annotations caused the problem.
