How to Debug multiple Applets in a IDE

Hi,
I am relatively new to Java. At work, I have a client-server style application where applets are deployed to the clients in an html page.
Background:*
The sequence is something like this:
- Client goes to the relevant url
- The returned html page has an embedded login applet
- Upon successful login, an html page is returned that has two embedded applets
- On the client side, navigation buttons within the applets take them to other applets
On the server there is an application running that listens to the relevant socket (that the client sends data to) and sends out appropriate responses and data.
Question:*
How do i setup this system in any IDE (any IDE is ok with me) so that i can do the following:
- Step through and debug the applets (appletviewer doesnt work because it seems to work with independent applets only. In my case, all the applets have relationships among them. eg. unless the login applet successfully completes, the other applets cannot work... etc)
- Visually view / edit existing applets UI (something like a WYSIWYG tool)
Thank you so much.

Hi,
I am actually, working in an applet too, and I also need to debug it. With Eclipse you will easily get it, just click with Right button on the project�s name and choose: Debug As-> Java Applet. You can arrive also by: Debug As-> Open Debug Dialog. At the end you will have a window where you will be able to add the applet parameters in the Parameters tab. Finally you only have to set breakpoint (double click in the left side of any code line) and with F5, F6 and F7 you will get the absolute control. I don't think you've problems even you run multiple applets.
Hope it helps you (sorry for my poor English).

How to Debug Java Applet called in a BSP Component

Hi All,
In CRM Marketing->Segments->Graphical Modeler
A click on settings button will load a Java Applet window.
The settings window displays some elements. I want to translate a text displayed in that Java Applet window.
Please let me know the ways to debug a Java applet loaded from BSP Component or ways the data is loaded into Java applet from SAP.
Your help would be appreciated and points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot in advance.

For the newbies, like me:
Instruction to setup and debug an applet in Eclipse IDE via your Browser
Java Console Setup for Applet debugging:
1. Open up the Java Console Application by double clicking on it at C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\javacpl.exe
2. Select the Java Tab
3. View Applet Runtime Settings button
4. Enter in the Java Runtime Parameters the following: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=5555,server=y,suspend=y
5. Note: the port address 5555 can be anytime you want. You will need to enter whatever number you select into Eclipse IDE.
6. Note: if you don�t need to debug code in the Applet�s init() method, then use....suspend=n (Not tested yet.)
Eclipse setup for Applet debugging:
1. Open up Eclipse and create your Applet. Once you are ready to debug go to the next step.
2. Select the top level Run menu
3. Pick the Open Debug Dialog� option
4. In the left column select Remote Java Application
5. Then select the �New� button to create a debug configuration for the remote session (the new button looks like a page with a yellow plus in the upper right hand corner)
6. Give your session a name. I used the class name followed with the work remote for example: mainclassnameRemote
7. Set connection type to Standard (Socket Attached)
8. Host to localhost
9. Port to 5555, or whatever you used in Java Console Setup step 5.
10. Due not check the �Allow termination of remote VM�
11. Due not close this window.
Start debugging:
1. Go to your Applet html launch file and launch in a browser
2. Then go back to eclipse and select the debug button
3. Eclipse should now throw you into the debugger mode.
4. If it hangs, just retry again. It seems to work ok most of the time. A few time I need to close the browser and start over and then it seems to work.

How to debug serlvet and EJB using IDE

Anybody knows how to debug Servlet and EJB through standard IDE, like
Symantec or VisualAge? Does the attach to process works?
Thanks.

1) Download and install the jpda package from sun (Java Platform Debugger
Architecture, it contains the jdwp.dll, this has to be in your %PATH%
variable).
2) Start weblogic with something like this:
%JDK_HOME%\bin\java -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y
,address=8000 -ms64m -mx64m -Xbootclasspath:%JAVACLASSPATH% -classpath
%WEBLOGICHOME%\classes\boot -Dweblogic.class.path=%WEBLOGICCLASSPATH% -Dwebl
ogic.home=%WEBLOGICHOME% -Dweblogic.system.name=MyServer -Djava.security.man
ager -Djava.security.policy==%WEBLOGICHOME%\weblogic.policy weblogic.Server
3) address is the portnumber (in this example 8000) for the remote debugger.
Attach to the VM with arguments -host <hostname> -port <address>

Urgent: How to run Multiple Applets from a URL

Hi,
I am developing an applet that needs memory more than 64MB and I have used -Xmx to set it to 128 MB.
On my web page, I have 3 applications that use the same JAR file of the applet, but the problem is all applets are opened/loaded in same heap space by JVM. So, when I load first applet, it uses 80 MB and when I start 2nd applet, after using 40 MB, it throws OutOfMemory exception.
Is there a way to start each applet with fresh 128 MB heap space rather than all applets sharing 128 MB heap space?
Thanks,
Ajit

That's some hefty requirements for an applet. I believe that the only way to do the Xmx thing on the client side is to have them manually add it in the JVM arguments section of the Java Plugin Control Panel.
The browser/plugin is going to use the same JVM to run all 3 applets in a page. I've never seen a way to tell it to do otherwise. The only separation is the applet contexts, but that is more of a security manager grouping thing.
Maybe you should look into how you can better manage your data so you don't need so much memory.

How to debug multiple swf

I am developing an application that has and Login Form( first swf ). On successful Login, I am showing the main application ( second swf ).
I need to debug the second swf (the main application). Can anyone please tell me, how to do that?
The second swf (main application) is dependent upon the first swf (Login form) as it creates session. So I cant run/debug the second swf independently.

If your main app is the second SWF and you cannot easily debug it, in this case because is perhaps is loaded by the login SWF, then I would suggest rethinking the architecture to a degree.
Modules are great, but maybe just have a login component that the main app uses. Much simpler.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Debug an Applet ? How ?

I probably cant see the wood for the trees, but no mater how hard I try, I cannot debug an applet class. Whenever I right-click and run I get
init:
deps-jar:
compile-single:
run-applet:
Warning: <param name=... value=...> tag requires name attribute.
Warning: <param name=... value=...> tag requires name attribute.
Warning: <param name=... value=...> tag requires name attribute.
Warning: <param name=... value=...> tag requires name attribute.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
I have followed the help guide and have the html file in the src directory. I can run the html file ok in a normal browser. but for the life of me I cannot see where or how to either attach the debugger to the applet process, or even run it and hit a breakpoint.
I canot run it like a normal application as there is no "Main Class" and trying to set that up is a nightmare in itself. I have only just started using the IDE and although it has similarities with .NET (hope thats not a bad word here) it does seem to be a lot more complex when youre trying to recall everything you forgot from years ago.
Can anyone explain is an easy straight foward basic language what I need to do ? I find the help files assume that one already has a vast amount of background. The learning curve for me is very steep at the moment.
Thanks for your time and help.
Kess

Quote:
Copy the MyApplet.html launcher file from the build folder to the package where the applet class lives in the src folder (in this case, to org.me.hello). Make sure that the MyApplet.html launcher file has the same name as the applet class.
Note that later it says....
Note that applets run in the virtual machine of the IDE's default web browser. The IDE uses a different virtual machine and therefore applets are not included in a web application's debug session. Debug the applet within the Java project, as explained above.
So, if you create the htm file and add in some parameters, it becomes a web application and the caveat is that no breakpoints can be set and you cant step into the code.
Which is the problem I am having.
Of course none of the examples or help pages only ever give the most simplest of the "Hello Word" examples, and it would appear that doing something a little more complex is beyond the help articles.......
I am still stuck, and would much prefer someone to state excatly how to debug an applet.....
I cant believe this beyond some of the experts here.
Thanks for your comments so far.

How to debug applets

I'm a new at this.
Can anyone suggest of a way to debug applets. I'd love
to trace through statements in the code. How can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Look into documentation provided by your IDE, it should provide example on how to dynamically debug an applet. Typically you would provide the html file (that loads the applet) name as a configuration parameter

Debug an applet that has a run-time (logic) error how?

hi,
I have an applet that has a non-terminating loop in it...I found it after eye-balling my code.
How would one debug an applet? I have bought sooooo many books on java, & NONE provide/identify a process for debugging applets. I use JTextPad & would appreciate a method i can use to debug applets....ppppllleezzzz

TheStijn is correct about stepping thru code - you'd need a development environment. However, the better of these for use in a commercial environment are usually expensive (>$1000). The free ones are not so good (although given that WSAD is based on Eclipse and I think WSAD is pretty good, maybe you could go for Eclipse). They also take some time to get to grips with.
You could instead litter your code with System.out.println() statements to see what it is doing. These can be viewed from the browser's Java console. On IE, you enable the console by doing Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Scroll down to "Microsoft VM" and select "Java Console enabled". Then the console is visible (after re-starting IE) from the View menu (at the bottom).
With Netscape (4.7), you do Communicator > Tools > Java Console. You can also view it on other browsers thru similar mechanisms. Hope this helps in the short-term.

Debugging applet with Netbeans IDE 3.6

First of all,hoi to everyone,this in an excellent forum.
I guess this is the appropiate subforum to post my query,if not feel free to move it.
Well let's go,i'm developing an applet,using Netbeans IDE 3.6.Problem is,i can't debug it.. i've set in the .class file of the applet the properties that are needed (applet debugger),but it doesnt work.
It just executes the applet normally,without debugging.
I was using opera 7.51 as browser,but 've switched to IE for better compatibility..so it isnt the problem.
Any idea of what should i do ?
Thanks

How To: Debug missing Drivers in MDT

The definitive post on missing drivers in MDT (most comprehensive list I've done so far)…
Please to NOT post questions from this thread, instead create a new thread.
How to debug Network Driver Problems
One of the earliest hurdles an MDT administrator will come across is the management of device drivers, specifically networking drivers. With most other drivers, like Audio, printer, and video drivers, a quick call to Windows Update or install over the network
will resolve the Installation. However unless the Network (and storage) Drivers are installed into Windows from the start, it will be much more difficult to install the rest of the system.
This post should help you get started if you find a machine that did not install a device driver properly, and you want to know how to find and import the correct drivers.
Installing network drivers in the
full OS
Step 1 - Try network connection again
It's possible that you might get a DHCP error from MDT, but when you try again later to connect the Deployment Share it works! This may be caused by a slow or malfunctioning DHCP server in your network. Re-check your DHCP servers, ensure that PortFast is enabled
on your routers. If all else fails get your network administrators to document the DHCP delay. A long delay in modern networks is unnecessary.
Step 2 - Verify connectivity
You may not have a driver problem but a network problem. Check the physical connection on the computer (Network installs on MDT *REQUIRE* a wired network connection, no Wi-Fi). Open a web browser. Check the IP Address (ipconfig.exe /all). Ping the Deployment
Server, manually connect to the Deployment Share. IF you can't connect to the Deployment Share, neither can MDT.
Step 3 - Find the Correct Driver Package
Before you load the driver into MDT, first verify that you have the correct driver. There are scenarios where you may *think* you have the correct driver, but the driver will never run because the package is designed for a different OS/SKU/Platform/whatever.
Install the driver package by:
  ○ Open the Device Manager (devmgmt.msc).
  ○ Find the network device in the list (ensure this is the wired device, not the wireless device)
  ○ Right click on "Properties" and click on the "Details" tab.
  ○ From the "Details" tab, select the property "Hardware Ids" select all the values, and copy to the clipboard, it would be a good idea to save for later. Should look something like:
      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&SUBSYS_21F317AA&REV_04
      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&SUBSYS_21F317AA
      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&CC_020000
      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&CC_0200
  ○ From the "Driver" tab, click on "Update Driver…", click on "Browse my computer for driver software" locate the driver package on the local machine or USB Drive, and install the package.
  ○ You should get a confirmation that the driver package was installed.
  ○ IF you do not get confirmation, MDT driver installation may not work.
Windows will install the driver starting with the *.inf install package, and will typically include a *.sys (binary) and a *.cat (digital Signature). If the driver package has been re-packaged into a *.cab, *.zip, or other compressed *.exe file, the
package must be extracted first. This is a hard requirement for any driver used by MDT and/or SCCM. All driver packages that are signed by Microsoft (WHQL) will be installed from the *.inf file, and you should only use devices that have the Microsoft WHQL
Logo as a sign of quality.
If you need a help on where to find driver packages for your devices, the 3 largest Computer OEM manufacturers supply drivers grouped by Make and Model that are easily imported into MDT and SCCM. See:
http://deploymentbunny.com/2014/07/08/back-to-basicwhere-to-find-drivers-for-servers-and-clients/
Step 4 - Load driver into MDT
If you have more than 20 driver packages, or if you anticipate you will have more than 20 drivers, you should start grouping your drivers in sub-folders for organization. One popular method is to group by Computer Make and Model. Ensure that you are using the
correct Driver Selection Profile in your task sequence. If you are unsure, disable any selection profile(s) to ensure the driver is installed correctly.
Step 5 - Run the full MDT installation
During installation MDT will perform the following:
  ○ Run the PNPEnum.exe utility and capture output to PnPEnum.xml. The VEN_Xxxx and DEV_Yyyy from the "HardwareIDs" property above must be present in this list. Otherwise we won't have a match.
  ○ Search through the %DeployRoot%\control\drivers.xml file looking for a match for the HardwareID. MDT may filter the search based on the folder search type.
  ○ MDT will copy each matching driver to the local c:\drivers directory using the xcopy.exe command. You can search (grep) for the string "xcopy" in the ZTIDrivers.log file, that will get you list of all driver packages matched by MDT.
  ○ MDT will allow the machine to boot into the NEW OS, and Driver Installation will begin in the OS. IF there are multiple drivers found and copied locally, the Windows (not MDT) will determine the best one. The c:\windows\inf\SetupAPI.*.log files
will detail which drivers copied locally were installed (or *not* installed).
Installing Network Drivers in
WinPE
Step 6 - Try the network connection again
(See above
Step 7 - Verify Connectivity from within WinPE
Verifying network connectivity will be a bit more difficult in WinPE, since we have a limited User Interface, so all investigation must be done in the debugging mode (Press F8) cmd.exe
  ○ Try connecting to the Deployment Share:
  c:\> net use * \\MDT\DeploymentShare$ /u:UserDomain\UserName *
  ○ Try pinging the Deployment Server:
  c:\> Ping.exe MDT.Corp.contoso.com
  ○ Verify that you have an IP address ( ipconfig /all ) If you have an AutoConfiguration address - Driver OK - WinPE can't reach the DHCP server. If you have "Media Disconnected" - Driver OK - Physical adapter not plugged to network. If
no devices are listed - Driver bad - Driver not installed.
  ○ Check the x:\windows\system32\WpeInit.log - This log will show the network driver (if found) being installed.
Step 8 - Verify driver packages are getting included into WinPE
Firstly, verify the correct driver package from within the full OS above. By default MDT will import *all* Storage and Networking drivers into your WinPE image. However it is possible to change the subset of files copied via "Selection Profile" or
other method. Cross check your WinPE Driver Settings.
  ○ From within the MDT console, right click on the root of your Deployment Share and select properties.
  ○ Click on the "Windows PE" tab, and the "Drivers and Patches" sub tab for both x86 and x64.
  ○ Your Network Drivers package must be in the "Selection Profile" if enabled.
Finally verify that the correct Network Driver package is being copied to WinPE. If necessary this may include setting up a debugger to watch the MDT Provider build the WinPE Image from scratch. My preference is to use the SysInternals
http://live.sysinternals.com/Dbgview.exe tool.
  ○ Open up the MDT console.
  ○ Download and run the DbgView.exe tool.
  ○ Update the deployment share in question.
  ○ The DbgView tool should show what drivers were copied to each WinPE Image.
Other
Whenever you add a driver into the MDT console, you must update the deployment share for that drivers to be added to your WinPE Image. If you are unsure, select "Completely regenerate the boot images." to ensure the drivers is imported. Additionally,
you must copy the updated LitetouchPE_x??.wim and *.iso files to the other consumers of the WinPE image like WDS/PXE and or any USB offline media.
Note that some Broadcom NetXtreme class of drivers have a multi-function driver architecture that may have difficulty loading in WinPE. Ensure that you load the "RIS" class of drivers from Broadcom in your MDT environment.
Note that by default MDT does *NOT* support the installation of Windows over Wireless network devices (Wi-Fi). The MDT installation sources must either be available through wired networking, or offline (USB Flash) media.
This post does not discuss origination of drivers within MDT ( Chaos vs. Total Control ), that is a different topic.
http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/112/MDT-2013-Lite-Touch-Driver-Management.aspx
Further Help
If you are still having problems with drivers in via MDT, ask the experts in the MDT Technet Forum:
Include a short description of the problem. Including the Make/Mode if necessary.
Include the HardwareIDs from the Device Manager (Devmgmt.msc) into the post (from above).
Copy your known good driver package (step 3 above) to OneDrive.
Copy the following log files to a public site like OneDrive and include the link:
  ○ PnpEnum.xml (from Client)
  ○ Bdd.log (From Client) - or at least the ZTIDrivers.log file.
  ○ c:\windows\inf\SetupAPI.*.log (from client)
  ○ %DeployRoot%\control\Driver*.xml
  ○ %DeployRoot%\control\SelectionProfile*.xml
  ○ %DeployRoot%\control\settings.xml (if problems in WinPE)
  ○ x:\windows\System32\WpeInit.log (if problems in WinPE)
  ○ If the MDT server is not including your driver package in WinPE include the DBGView log.
This post is by Keith Garner - Keith was a developer on the MDT team where he developed the ZTIDrivers.wsf script, he also worked for the Windows Hardware Quality Labs as a technical PM on Driver Quality, and developed samples for the
Microsoft Device Driver Kit (DDK) specifically around the area of Device Driver installation in the OS (Windows NT 5.0, 2000 and Windows XP). (So yes, I know drivers :^).

OK. I have redone the drivers for WinPE which has reduced the image size by about 200MB. Unfortunately the problem persists.
Is there anyway to turn on some sort of boot logging so I can see what driver it is failing on?
I am also still seeing the weird behavior of it working over PXE but blue screens when booting from USB. Can anyone explain that?

Netbeans debugging an applet

I have a class called JScriptBroker which extends Applet.
I have a class SearchPeaple that extends JScriptBroker and therefore is an applet.
How do I tell netbeans it is an applet because it keeps bugging me the main method is
missing?
Allso I cannot debug an applet that uses JSObject, this is because the applet cannot be
run with the appletviewer. None of the html elements are visible in the appletviewer.
Adding the applet to a jsp or html page in a web project doesn't solve the problem
because breakpoints in the applet are ignored. The following is from the help of
NetBeans
Applets run in the virtual machine of the IDE's default web browser. The IDE uses a different virtual machine and therefore applets are not included in a web application's debug session.
I havent used Netbeans for about 3 years now but I do remember it used to be
possible to debug an applet in the html/jsp file of your choice. Does anybody know how to
do this?

Thanks for your reply, i see I made a mistake in my post

How to debug DAQ VIs (problem with data)

I am trying to debug (and understand) the attached VI. I’m not asking anyone to analyze/debug it, since it is far more than an example; I am new to these forums and feel like asking such a thing would be inappropriate.
I would like advice on how to debug it. I am also going to describe my problem to see if the cause may be obvious to someone.
The outputs of the "Angle Calc" sub-vi are fed into a state machine. The state machine actuates outputs to move a motor and measures changing angles. It first moves up/down, then left/right. The attached VI is called by a top-level VI and the front panel is not usually open. For some reason, when the front panel is opened, it behaves differently when it is called. The behavior only changes for the right/left movements.
Here's where I'm hoping someone can point out some better debugging methods for me.
I have been using the Express Write to LVM File VI and the Convert to Dynamic Data function to write acquired data to text files for analysis after the acquisition has completed. Are there better methods recommended for doing this? I wish I could run through the code while recording the execution and then step through a playback of it!
As for the specific problem I am having...
In the "Right Find Stall" case, the signal wired from the "Angle Calc" VI (array size 100) is connected to a Max/Min Array function. When I log the data coming from the Min/Max function, I see an alternation between valid data and 0 (i.e. 12.2, 0, 13.3, 0, 14.0, 0, 14.5, 0...). When I log the data being fed into the Min/Max function I do not see 0s.
A guess of mine is that the array is empty and therefore no data is logged but Min/Max returns a 0 (not sure why this would happen). I also have no idea why this would ALWAYS happen with the front panel opened. I have seen the effect with the front panel closed, but never to the same degree; usually just a seemingly random zero or two but not a pattern of every other point...
Thanks all,
Dave

Functional_Test.vi ‏2710 KB

Angle_calc receives array controls in and passes array indicators out. It performs a trig function and a bit of multiplication.
I'll check out the Write to Spreadsheet File VI, haven't used it in the past. If it will allow me to write text out that'll be enough reason for me to stop using the Express VI.
I've used Execution Highlighting and stepping before but with the data acquisition by the time the application makes it around to the next read the DAQ card has sampled a ton of data and the data coming in is no longer useful (a different state should be active by then).
I do think the problem is related to the computer slowing down with the front panel open. I've logged the 'backlog' number of the Read function and found that the number in there is greater than 0 much more often when the VI's front panel is open and that I've seen relations between the 0s that I discussed earlier and the backlog going above 0 (usually the scan after a non-0 backlog seems to be a problem).
I need to familiarize myself with the DAQ basics, the buffer, backlog, and relation to sampling rate, etc.
In a simple VI I just wrote, I noticed that if I increased the sampling rate high enough, data being acquired into a chart cuts-out on a regular basis; instead of a smooth line, I see small dashes or dots of data (spaces in between). I don't understand this- I would expect data to be lost but not "no data" to be read in. I think understanding what is happening here would be helpful.
