But it was worked well with JDK7. I am not getting what is the problem and how to solve it. And i tried downloading 'jsdg-stubs-jre1.5.jar' which contains sun.swing classes and copying that jar to WEB-INF/lib folder but no use. How to solve it please help me. TIA!
"accessClassInPackage.sun.swing" which signifies that in Webstart it is not allowed to use the package sun.swing. You need to sign your applet, and with latest jdk 8 security, will block any applet signed with an untrusted certificate authority.So if you self sign this applet put low the security settings.untill it executes. As an example here.
The thing with java 8 is that we have the security level ranging from high to very high ,while on java 7 it ranged from medium and above.The setting was only intended to block malicious or unsigned apps in java 8.However sometimes it may cause trouble with active X controls.If your app is running using low setting ,good otherwise i suggest java7, unless you dont use enhanced features like lambda expressions and other stuff
