How can a java applet terminate cleanly with Java 1.6.10 or newer?<br>
<br>
== Details<br>
I'm not much of Java programmer, but we have a applet we support.<br>
<br>
We launch it in its own browser window (Firefox / IE / whatever) from<br>
a web-portal page.<br>
<br>
In the applet we currently have a pull-down menu that allows the user<br>
to exit the application by calling system.exit()<br>
<br>
It has a nasty side effect of closing all browser windows, but we've<br>
been living with that for while.<br>
<br>
As of Java 1.6.10 or above no longer allow calls to system.exit()<br>
<br>
So we need to redo our code, but we can't figure out a clean way to do it.<br>
<br>
We have attempted having the our applet terminate by simply<br>
redirecting back to the portal page. The redirect works, but if we<br>
try to relaunch the applet it fails due to initialization issues. We<br>
assume the JRE is not properly being reset by a simple redirect.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions welcome.<br>
<br>
FYI: We definitely have to support XP based clients, but I assume this<br>
is fairly OS agnostic.<br>
