        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        java version "1.4.2"
        Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
        Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)


        FULL OS VERSION :
        Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

        EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
        Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 [Version 6.0.2800.1106]
        IBM HTTP Server 2.0.42

        Plug-in JRE configured as "JRE 1.4.2 in C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2"


        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        When downloading a web based application containing java applets the java plugin occasionally throws a ConcurrentModificationException when the applet jar file has been updated at the web server. Application startup fails when the exception is thrown.


        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        Attempts to produce a pared-down version of the web application suitable for inclusion here have failed to reproduce the problem. Even our web application does not cause the problem to occur in a repeatable manner, although the problem does occur daily.


        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        A ConcurrentModificationException should not be thrown.
        ACTUAL -
        See stack trace for details.

        ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :

        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced occasionally.

        ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
        The main focus of the web based application, from a java perspective, is that two applets are being accessed from a single JAR file. See the two <object> tags in the following launch page content for details:

        ---------- END SOURCE ----------

        CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
        The current workaround involves clearing the plugin cache every time before starting the web application.
