Java applets taking too much time to load

Question

I am using the Sentinel EMS from Safenet. The local tomcat6 website uses the java applets for their hardware key management. I installed the latest jre7 u45 from java.com. My problem is the java applets are taking too much time to load in an offline environment (applet shows the progress bar about 8 - 10 minutes). When the machine is connected to internet, the applets will load in less than 1 minute. Is there any setting to change the behaviour of java or is it a problem of tomcat?

Note:The safenet people replied it is the problem of jre installation and I need to re-install. I did re install 2-3 times, but no chance to rectify the problem.

I think there is some gap in communication . I am trying to answer your question below, hope this helps

Certificate verification is recommended by JAVA since JRE 7 update 25 for security reasons, you can visit http://www.java.com/en/download/help/revocation_options.xml

There is a Workaround which is not recommended by Java

1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Java
3. Goto Advance Settings
4. Find "Perform certificate revocation checks on"
5. Select "Do not check (Not Recommended)"
6. Click Ok

After this restart all Browser instances

Note :- For Intranet or Localhost you can use this workaround as you know that certificates are valid, but for internet please revert back to default settings
