Adding a KeyListener to java applet

I'm going to post this again, because I didn't really understand the last answer.. I know how to add KeyListeners to textfields and buttons, etc, but how do I add it to the applet itself.. I want to do this because I have a painted box on the screen and I want it to move its position everytime I hit the up key.. But I can't add the keylistener to anything but textfields and stuff. I dont know how to do it. Can u please help.. Someone told me JApplet.addKeyListener(this); but I tried it and it didn't work.. It gave me an error cannot find symbol JApplet, I dont have a variable for my whole applet, and I'm not sure how to create one either. Can anyone help?

I'm going to post this again, because I didn't really
understand the last answer.. That's no excuse for cross posting.

Adding gravity into a Java applet

Hey guys,
I have an array of 10,000 dots (ovals) on my screen, and I am trying to make a simple physics simulator, that simulates gravity between these dots. I would like them to interact.
I'm not really sure where to start, Im not sure if there is a Java method that does this, but anyhow, can someone please explain to me how i would go about doing somthing like this.
Thanks in advance!

Have a thread in an infinite loop that loops through each dot.
Everytime it checks a dot, it adds x amount of speed to the object (obviously down, seeing as gravity is pulling it down).
Hope this helps.Except that he wants gravity between the dots (i.e. as in between the Sun and the Earth).and 10,000 masses require each of the 10,000 to compute the interaction with the other 9,999 so there are about 100,000,000 calculations per iteration.I guess I should have further refined the quote, as I was taking note of "down" part. ;-)
Edit: And the "down" makes it sound as though he is talking only about adding in one direction, rather than adding in the direction from which the next dot is coming, and simply adding one does not, of course, take proximity, or mass into account, which it would need to.

Adding an image in a java applet

Hey everyone... I am using Jbuilder and trying to add an image or background image in my applet. The image is in the folder the java file runs out of. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me..

I use this to add an image that I have saved in the applet folder
Image image;
public void init() {
image = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "auburn.jpg");
and I get this error when I try to run it in Jbuilder:

Adding a java applet in Apex page

Hello, I am trying to add a java applet to my page. This is what I do. I create an html region with source ;
<applet width=300 height=300 codebase="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#DrawingLines.class"></applet>
and I upload DrawingLines.class file as a static file.
When I run the page I see the java cup sign (with running circle around) but not the applet. Does this have to do anything with the browser security? My knowledge of Java is very limited, but I thought this should work.

I just feel like I have to answer this and I hope this is the last post in this thread.
"I find it amusing that you have come to this forum demanding free technical support, and have posted over 200 times, but you yourself have never once answered somebody's question and gotten a helpful or correct reward"
First of all, I have helped people on a few occasions , I don't know what kind of "helpful or correct reward" you are referring to but yes I have given useful answers and gotten "thank you" from a few members.
Second, most of my posts are from year or more ago when I was learning Apex, I have very few posts in the last 6-12 months.
Third, if nobody asks the questions then there will be no answers => there will be no forum. The very existence of this forum is based on people asking question so why should I be ashamed to "demand free technical hellp", isn't this what most people are doing here?
The rest of your post is just words pretty much not saying anything (you might wanna try a carier in the politics) so I am not going to address it.
Have a wonderful day.

Removing the 'Warning Java Applet' Status Bar

Hi,
I've written an applet that does not require access outside the sandbox so doesn't need signing. However, it pops up an instance of Window, and because it's not signed the window has a status bar across the bottom which says 'Warning Java Applet' or something similar depending on the browser. Is there any way to remove this status bar without signing the applet or changing the security settings of the browser. I guess it must be added to the window so maybe it's just a component that can be removed, but how?
Thanks in advance

Today the Security Warning sign appeared at the bottom of my computer screen - how do I get rid of it. I do have Java whose icon used to be in the lower right hand section of my screen - along with all the other icon programs that I have.
Now the icon is no longer down on the bottom right of the screen, but in the middle with a Security Warning -(the wording) next to the jave icon.
This is really annoying me - how can I get rid of it, and - why did it appear here?
Anxiously awaiting your reply.

Java Control Panel wont open at all and any Java Applets crash web browsers

Hello,
I recently installed a fresh fully updated copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I have not for the life of me been able to get Java working at all. Java version is the latest JRE 6U31. I only have Internet Explorer 9 installed but I doubt it is a browser issue since I cannot even open the Java control panel. I have tried using the 32 bit version of Java, and the 64 bit. Anytime I try to open the Java control panel with either 32 bit or 64 bit, I get an error message (click link below to view error message):
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h204/gobigjeff/Java%20Error/javaerror.png
I can only bring up the Java Control Panel using the command “javaws –viewer” . Anytime I try to load a web page with a Java applet in either 64 bit or 32 bit, it freezes and crashes. I am running Internet Explorer 9 and have tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit browser versions. I saw Java’s recommendation to only use the 32 bit version so I have mainly been trying to get the 32 bit version working 1st, with no success. I have tried ALL of the following steps, and have done some exhaustive research on this problem. It seems others have had this issue as well, with no solution to be found:
•     Uninstalled and reinstalled only Java 32 bit JRE 6u31 multiple times (Used Javara and reg cleaner to remove all old Java traces)
•     Uninstalled and reinstalled only Java 64 bit JRE 6u31 (Used Javara and reg cleaner to remove all old Java traces)
•     Uninstalled and reinstalled bit JRE 7 (Used Javara and reg cleaner to remove all old Java traces)
•     Used SFC /scannow in safe mode to verify Windows files
•     Ran spyware and virus scan with no issues detected
•     Added all java processes to windows firewall
I am out of solutions here. If anyone has had this problem with Java or knows what I need to do to fix the problem your advice would be greatly appreciated. I don’t think reinstalling windows is the solution because this is a fresh install.

I figured it out. I changed the installation folder to C:/Java and it finally worked!

Socket communication failure between Java applet and C++ application

I have a java applet that connects to a C++ application via Java's ServerSocket and Socket objects. THe C++ application is using the Winsock 2 API. The applet and application are running on an NT workstation (SP 6) and using IE (5.5) For a very simple C++ test applications the communictions work fine. Once more code gets added to the C++ application the portion of the socket that C++ listens to seems to close. Upon performing a recv call the return value is a zero. Microsoft insists this is a sign the Java side has shut down the socket. The Java applet can still receive messages from the C++ app but C++ cannot receive responses from the Java side. Java throws no exceptions and an explicit check of the socket shows no errors. Again, what puzzles me is that it works for simple C++ applications. Are there any known conflicts between Java and C++ in this regard?
I have inlcuded the basic java code segments below.
/ run Method.
* This method is called by the Thread.start() method. This
* method is required for the implementation of the Runnable interface
* This method sets up the server side socket communication and
* contiuously loops looking for requests from a external
* socket.
* @author Chris Duke
public void run(){
     // create socket connections
     boolean success = false;
     try {
         cServerSocket = new ServerSocket(cPortID);
         System.out.println("Waiting for client to connect...");
         cClientSocket = cServerSocket.accept();
         System.out.println("Client connected");
         // Create a stream to read from the client
         cInStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
           cClientSocket.getInputStream()));
         // Create a stream to write to the client
         cOutStream = new PrintWriter(
           cClientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
         success = true;
     }catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println("CommSocket:Run - Socket Exception(1) " + e);
         success = false;
     // if the socket was successfully created, keep the thread running
     while (success){
         try{
            // check socket to see if it is still available for reading
            if (cInStream != null && cInStream.ready()){
                // check for an incoming message
                String message = ReceiveMessage();
                // Send message to listeners
                Event(message);
            if (cInStream == null){
                success = false;
                System.out.println("CommSocket:Run - shutdown");
         }catch (IOException e){
            System.out.println("CommSocket:Run - Socket not ready exception");
            break;
// SendMessage method -
* Sends a text message to a connected listener through port specified by portID
* @author Chris Duke
* @param String message - This will be the message sent out through the server
* socket's port specified by portID.
   public void SendMessage(String message){
      cOutStream.println(message);
      if (cOutStream.checkError() == true)
        System.out.println("SendMessage : Flush = Error");
      else{
        System.out.println("SendMessage : Flush - No Error");
   }

a very simple C++ test applications the communictions work fine. Once more code gets added to the C++ application the portion of the socket that C++ listens to seems to close.
This quite strongly implicates the extra code in the C++ App. The firstly thing I would try would be telnet. Try connecting to both versions of the C++ Application and manually reproducing a proper exchange.
a recv call the return value is a zero. Microsoft insists this is a sign the Java side has shut down the socket.
A correct implementation of recv should return the number of bytes received, or -1 for an error. A zero return indicates no bytes received not a socket closed/error. This sounds like FUD to me.
Are there any known conflicts between Java and C++ in this regard?
I can see no obvious faults, though the code is incomplete, I don't think it's an sockets implementation issue, at either end, it sounds more likely to be a protocol/handshaking bug in the C++ App.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN JAVASCRIPT AND JAVA APPLET: US$20 AWARD FOR SOLUTION!

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN JAVASCRIPT AND JAVA APPLET PROBLEM (Easy Filter Java Applet) -
US$20 TO ANYONE WHO CAN RESOLVE THE PROBLEM
To forum visitors:
I am prepared to pay a standard shareware fee of US$20 to a user who can resolve this technical problem.
If your advice resolves the problem, I'll forward the payment to your postal address (include your
address with your reply, and also your email address)
I am attempting to enable a HTML button (using Javascript's onClick command) to directly input a number into one of the parameter text boxes in the Easy Filter Java applet (ie, enter a new color value number in the text field of the standard Colors Multiplicator Filter interface).
The applet is Freeware and can be downloaded at: http://www.javazoom.net/applets/easyfilter10/EasyFilter10.html
(It is a very effective bitmap display and editing utility)
To achieve this, I am trying to access the part of the applet that defines and sets the textbox. The text box is defined in the .class file by accessing the parameter details in the genericfilter.txt file (accompanies the .class files). I need to access 'private String appletInitialize()' and then one of the 'textFieldParameters' which sets the textbox.
I understand the basic syntax for referencing the applet:
document.appletname.setString("An example"). However, accessing the text fields in this applet is more complex!!
Please can you recommend the correct Javascript syntax to achieve communication with the applet.
Thank you for your kind assistance.

How to run a Java applet on a website.

Hi,
I am trying to run the code below [DrawLines.java|http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mjmcguff/learn/java/01-drawingLines/]
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class DrawingLines extends Applet {
   int width, height;
   public void init() {
      width = getSize().width;
      height = getSize().height;
      setBackground( Color.black );
   public void paint( Graphics g ) {
      g.setColor( Color.green );
      for ( int i = 0; i < 10; ++i ) {
         g.drawLine( width, height, i * width / 10, 0 );
on my website . I compiled it using JDK1.6.0_21 on Windows 7 and generated DrawingLines.class (My site is hosted on a linux server, is this an issue since it was compiled on Windows?)
I created a html file:
<applet width=300 height=300 code="/shanegibney/classes/DrawingLines.class"> </applet>Then I created a new folder called 'classes' in my public directory.
I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /shanegibney/classes/DrawingLines (wrong name: DrawingLines)
     at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)

Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /shanegibney/classes/DrawingLines (wrong name: DrawingLines)I'm sure adding a java applet is very common. Does anyone have any ideas why this isn't working? It can be seen here .
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Shane

I believe it's interpreting some of the code attribute as a path. Try this:
<applet width=300 height=300 codebase="/shanegibney/classes/" code="DrawingLines"> </applet>

Some Java applets do not work after silent installation, solved by toggling "Enable Java content in the browser" - Why?

We have about 1,800 workstations running Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) running various versions of the Java JRE from 6 update 32 through 7 update 51. Most are on 6 update 45. We would like to standardize on Java 7 update 51 (32-bit) and get everyone updated to that version for security reasons.
For the past two weeks, we have been having trouble with our installation pre-pilot. What we are seeing is that our procedure successfully closes any open Internet Explorer windows and Java-related processes, uninstalls all old versions of the Java JRE, and then claims to have successfully installed Java 7 update 51. The Java Control panel works. We can even take Internet Explorer to Verify Java Version or Java Tester - What Version of Java Are You Running? and confirm that the Java applets on those sites are loading (though the latter only works after adding the site to the exceptions site list); however, when testers try to access our Kronos Workforce Central 6.3.10 system, the Java applets used by that system do not load.
We have tried the following things, none of which worked:
Clear Internet Explorer browser cache and cookies.
Clear the local Java cache.
Reboot the computer.
Reset Internet Explorer settings, including personal settings.
The one thing which does work is going into the Java Control Panel, going to the Security tab, unchecking "Enable Java content in the browser", pressing Apply, pressing OK on the pop-up window, checking the "Enable Java content in the browser" box again, pressing OK, pressing OK on the pop-up window, and then restarting Internet Explorer. It is only after this point that all Java applets, including the ones used by Kronos Workforce Central 6.3.10, work.
What I need to know is how I can automate the procedure of reinitializing the "Enable Java content in the browser" checkbox after installation or am I doing something wrong or missing a step in the automated installation that is causing this to happen?
We are using Microsoft SCCM 2007 R3 to accomplish this upgrade, and everything is being run on the client machine using the SYSTEM account. First, the PowerShell script "javaclean.ps1" is run, with part of the command-line process changing the PowerShell script execution policy to Bypass. This script handles the closing of Java-dependent applications and Java processes and uninstalls old Java versions.
javaclean.ps1:
#Find all Java products excluding the auto updater which actually gets uninstalled when the main install is removed.
write-host "Searching for all installed Java versions" -ForegroundColor Yellow

if ($javas.count -gt 0)
    write-host "Java is already Installed" -ForegroundColor Yellow
    #Get all the Java processes and kill them. If java is running and the processes aren't killed then this script will invoke a sudden reboot.

    $processes += Get-Process -Name "jusched" #-erroraction silentlycontinue
    $processes += Get-Process -Name "jp2launcher" #-erroraction silentlycontinue
    if ($processes.Count -gt 0)
        foreach ($myprocess in $processes)
            $myprocess.kill()
    #Loop through the installed Java products.
    foreach($java in $javas){
        write-host "Uninstalling "$java.name -ForegroundColor Yellow
        $java.Uninstall()
After this script is complete, SCCM calls a the VBS script "install.vbs" to perform the actual installation of Java JRE 7 update 51.

Help on this issue would be much appreciated!

It turns out that this is actually a problem with Kronos Workforce Central. We had the "site.java.plugin.CLSID.familyVersion" setting in that application set to "clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA", which is the Java CLSID for Java 6. After updating this value to "clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" (the Java universal CLSID), this problem did not occur upon the automatic upgrade of Java.
We have both Java 6 and Java 7 in our environment, and did during our Kronos implementation, so I don't know why we were using the Java 6 CLSID in the first place.
Case closed!

Update 10.6.8 and the combo pack v1.1 but java applets still not working

Checked all the java settings in the browsers and in java preferences and they are correct.
Tried both Firefox 5.0.1 and Safari 5.0.5 (6533.21.1) neither worked. Runing Java SE 6 (both 64 and 32 bit) version 1.6.0_26-b03-384
Even tried to uncheck and disable then re-enable java and restart, cleared cache, etc. Tried it all.
Thought the combo update version 1.1 would help. Nope didn't do anything.
Wanted to upgrade the OS today, so installed all current updates. Never upgraded the OS because I want to have this fixed first.
I don't use time machine since I don't store my folder system locally, so I can't revert back before the OS updates. Don't want to reinstall the OS, actually can't even remember where I put it. Any suggestions? When is the issue going to be fixed?
Checked around on a dozen or so message boards, seems like this is happen quite a bit. Even heard upgrading to the new OS has the same issue.
So, fustrated. Need the java applet working asap.

None of those things you mentioned were what I suggested.
I'm guessing the "ctrl click in printer preferences" means you Reset the Printing System?
If so, that is what I would have suggested if deleting it by selecting the ( - ) button and then adding it with the ( + ) button.
But, if HP has a fix, it likely needs to update its drivers.

Java Applet Constantly Asks for Authentication

With have a ADF application on Weblogic 10 that has occasional access to a Java applet. The Java applet is loaded whenever it's needed and not loaded whenever it isn't in a facet. The applet is currently in the public_html/applet folder.
When we set the SSL configuration to requiring a client certificate, when the Java applet loads, it'll constantly ask for a client certificate even though the user already presented the client when hitting the website:
Request Authentication Identification required. Please select certificate to be used for authentication.
This is annoying to users and the Java Applet doesn't need authentication. Is there any way we can disable the authentication or remove the prompt?
Here's the embedded applet code:
<applet height="1" width="1" code="applet.Applet.class"archive="/app/applet/SApplet.jar" /><param name="permissions" value="all-permissions"/></applet>
Things I've already tried:
1) Setting the Applet up on HTTP instead of HTTPS; I get a warning about mixed content and still get the authentication pop-up.
2) Created a minimal applet that only types out "HELLO WORLD" in the console, still get the authentication pop-up
Here's the console window:

Java Applet IIOP Call-In with Release 3C--How do we speed updownload ti

We have successfully implemented a simple Java Applet that calls into
Forte Services via IIOP. However, the duration of the download time for
Applet and its required class files is UNACCEPTABLE in a typical
INTERNET environment where 28.8K modems and multiple hops around the net
are not uncommon. We dialed into our network at 28.8K (but no hopping),
and found that download times varied from 1.5 - 2.0 minutes. This is
unacceptable, even by internet standards. We have been using the
Visigenic Visibroker product as the ORB.
After doing some investigation, we've come up with several ideas to
speed up download time:
1. Figure out how to use the Visigenic components (CORBA/IIOP class
files) that come bundled with the latest version of the Netscape
Navigator browser, so that they don't have to be downloaded
2. Figure out how to use ZIP files. Here's what I've read: "Since the
introduction of Netscape Navigator 3.0, you can specify an uncompressed
.zip file as an addition to the code base of your application. By
specifying a ZIP file, the browser will load your applet's classes from
a specified ZIP file before it searches the code base. This ZIP can
improve applet download time by reducing the number of HTTP connections
required to fetch applet code. As an added benefit, Netscape caches the
single ZIP file so that it will not reload your applet unless the date
of the ZIP file has changed."
3. Figure out how to use JAR files. Here's what I've read: "JAR
stands for Java archive. It's a file format based on the popular ZIP
file format and is used for aggregating many files into one. Although
JAR can be used as a general archiving tool, the primary motivation for
its development was so that Java applets and their requisite components
can be downloaded to a browser in a single HTTP transaction, rather than
opening a new connection for each piece. This greatly improves the
speed with which an applet can be loaded onto a web page and begin
functioning. The JAR format also supports compression, which reduces the
size of the file and improves download time still further."
Unfortunately, we've been unable to get any of these approaches to work.
Has any one used these or other approaches to speed up applet download
time? Or, does anyone know of consulting firms that specialize in this
sort of thing?
Thanks in advance for your help.
