IT Hit Ajax Library - MODApplet.class Not Found

When I try to open .txt, .pdf or .odt by calling:

'ITHit.WebDAV.Client.DocManager.EditDocument(sDocumentUrl, javaApletFilePath)`

I noticed with Fiddler a GET request on /MODApplet.class with a 404 Not Found response.
Is it normal ?

Additional information:

I first tested the library on a simple configuration and everything worked fine so I didn't use Fiddler to look at requests and responses.

Since I have changed the configuration I have problems when editing .odt, .pdf and .doc but I can't figure out where it comes from.

Yes, the request to /MODApplet.class and 404 Not Found response is normal. This is done for maximum web browser compatibility as far as I remember. But make sure the request to ITHitMountOpenDocument.jar is fulfilled.

As soon as you mention reconfiguration you may need to cleanup Java cache on a client computer, pleas see the screenshot:

If you changed the authentication schema you may need to clean the cached credentials, please see "Credentials and Authentication Schema Caching" here.

  • Regarding .odt files: LibreOffice and OpenOffice does not provide any web browser add-ins or protocol extensions to open documents without Java applet. However LibreOffice/OpenOffice documents can be opened via Java applet directly from server with no problem.

  • Regarding .pdf documents: Hypothetically Adobe Acrobat provides web browser add-ins to open documents directly from server. From our experience it never worked properly, you always get an error. Again Java applet should be ok with it.

  • Regarding .doc documents: There should be no problems opening .doc files both via web browser add-ins/protocol extensions and Java applet. Please also take a look at this article.
