Applet Generic Error when reading newly issued EID cards. about eid-applet HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi @Shravya89. What version of the eid-applet-service are you using on your back-end? The photo digest is checked on the server and not in the eid-applet itself.

from eid-applet.

We are using eid-applet-service-1.0.4.GA.

from eid-applet.

Then that will be the problem. The support for SHA2 hashes was introduced in version 1.1.0.RC3.

I suggest you upgrade your backend to version 2.0.0.FEDICT as well if possible. This version has some breaking changes so it might not be possible to do so. In that case use version 1.1.4.

Both artifacts are available in the eID maven repository at https://maven.eid.belgium.be/.

from eid-applet.

We got the certificate revocation error so we upgraded backend to verison 2.0.0.FEDICT.
So we are using 2.0.0.FEDICT.
DO we upgrade eid-applet-service-1.0.4.GA?

from eid-applet.

That is correct. Use version 2.0.0.FEDICT there as well.

from eid-applet.

Ok

So we should use eid-applet-service-2.0.0.FEDICT.jar and eid-applet-package-2.0.0.FEDICT.jar right?

from eid-applet.

Yes, you can see eid-applet-package as the client part and eid-applet-service as the server part of eid-applet. You have to use the same version of both: they use a specific protocol to communicate.

from eid-applet.

Thanks.. :)
I replaced the jars with 2.0.0, but on our server we have java version "1.5.0_22" and it is throwing bad version in .class file,
This issue is because the latest EID jar has been compiled with other version of java i guess.
Can we get the jars compiled with lower version of java.

from eid-applet.

I tried running my application using the version 1.1.4.

Got the below error -

The isEmpty() method was added to java.lang.String in Java 6, which means it is not available in your JRE.

Is it possible for you to upgrade to a more recent Java version? (Java 5 is no longer supported by Oracle as well.)

from eid-applet.

No It is not possible. We have connectivity with others systems as well so it will be difficult to upgrade

Can we just get a fix for the photo digest error in the current jar that we are using.

from eid-applet.

I have discussed this internally and we no longer support Java 5. Our code base was switched to Java 6 some years ago.

Since the source code is open, feel free to create your own build of eid-applet-service with a Java 5 compiler. It is best to start from the tag 2.0.0.FEDICT and make the necessary changes from there.
