We are using Visigenics ORB in place of RMI so I can't comment directly on RMI. However, I and several others have downloaded the Netscape1.1 patch. We have several instances where we have gotten "classDefNotFound" errors. I have traced it down to the JDBC driver, but unfortunately I have several other Transactions that work using the same jdbc driver. Needless to say it all worked fine in the appletviewer(Sun). I am looking for a something from Netscape that describes what the patch actually supports and what it left out. On another note, I thought I had seen a posting several months ago that indicated that there was a Communicator4.xx port for FreeBSD, I may be mistaken. If there is I would appreciate a shove in the right direction as to where I might uncover such a thing....

Date: Thu Aug 28 17:02:54 MDT 1997 Lines: 15 I didn't see any other recent messages on this, so I thought I'd post... Netscape finally released the developers release of its full 1.1 support, you can get it from: http://developer.netscape.com/software/index.html?content=jdk/download.html I tried it out against some of the sample 1.1 applets at the Javasoft site, and it worked great - but I was wondering how it worked for larger apps, and if anyone has encountered any major problems with it. I was especially curious if the RMI support worked well now. ---> Kendall Gelner (kendall@rmi.net) Unfortunately, it's only for Win95/NT at this time, but that will change pretty quickly I suspect, now that the 'standard' platform is finished.
