calling addMouseListener in jscript throws ClassCastException

[Jon-Paul Dobson]

Hi,

We have an applet that implements the MouseListener interface but when
trying to add the applet to the glasspane of another applet a
classcastexcept ion is thrown.

This all seemed to work fine when using JDK1.3.1_08 but since using
JDK1.4.2 it does not work.

The class implementing the mouse listener interface is defined using:

public class MapListener extends JApplet implements MouseListener,
MouseMotionList ener

and created within the HTML page using:

<applet width="600" height="0" code="MapListen er.class"
name="MapListen er" MAYSCRIPT="true "> </applet>

The MapListener object is referenced in jscript using:

var applet = parent.mapFrame .document.MapLi stener;

and is added to the glass pane of an applet named IMSMap using:

parent.mapFrame .IMSMap.getGlas sPane().addMous eListener(apple t);

This line however throws a jscript exception with message
'java.lang.Clas sCastException: javax.swing.JPa nel' and with name
'RangeError'

We are using IE6.0.2800

Any light anybody could shed on this would be very greatfully
received.

Thanks,

Jon-Paul.

Never heard of Java cooperating with JavaScript?

Read the article carefully before you respond.
