I've been working on an applet using deployjava.js and it works fine with 32 bit JRE. Now I'm trying to test it with 64 bit JRE, and the applet runs on 64 bit if I open the JNLP file directly, however it doesn't work when I try to run the applet in my web application (using 64 bit IE11 - 64 bit JRE - Windows 8.1).
I've tried to open (in IE11 64 bit) another website with an applet and it runs in 64 bit JRE, so it has to be something about my own applet and configurations. With my applet, the page ends up redirecting to Java download for 64 bit Windows, unless I have 32 bit JRE installed (so that the applets run on 32 bit JRE only).
Have anyone encountered this kind of issue? Java code is supposed to be able to run in both 32 or 64 bit JVM, however I'm not sure why my applet would not run unless there's 32 bit JRE.
