Alright! Problem solved. Hope this helps everyone else with Java applet issues in their Cake views while debug is 1+
I don't understand the solution and don't know squat about Java, but I found the solution here: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6506467 I followed the "add files" workaround as follows: - created META-INF/services folder in the same folder as my applet - with that new services folder, I created the following empty files: -- javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory -- javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory -- javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory And now my applet loads in debug mode! No idea why, but hooray. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
