Problem with appletContext.showDocument()

Hi All,
I'm facing a problem with opening new URL from applet.
The Java code
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
public class OpenBrowser extends Applet
implements ActionListener {
public void init() {
     System.out.println("In init");
Button button = new Button("Bring up URL window");
button.addActionListener(this);
add(button);
System.out.println("init complete");
public void destroy() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
String urlString = "http://java.sun.com/";
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL("javascript:openScreen('"+urlString+"')");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
System.err.println("Malformed URL: " + urlString);
OpenBrowser.this.getAppletContext().showDocument(url);
HTML code
<HTML>
     <HEAD>
     <script>
     function openScreen(url)
          alert("Test Applet call Javascript");
          window.open(url);
     </SCRIPT>
     </HEAD>
     <BODY>
     <FORM NAME="form1">
          <APPLET codebase="." code="OpenBrowser.class"></APPLET>
     </FORM>
     </BODY>
</HTML>
The whole idea is to open a new browser on click of the button on applet.
This is working with Windows 2000/JRE 1.5.0_02/IE6 SP1 Q837009 but not with Windows 2000/JRE 1.4.2/IE6 SP1 Q837009.
Awaiting your comments.

but not with Windows 2000/JRE 1.4.2/IE6 SNot working is too fague. Is it giving major minor version error than make sure you
compile the code to be used with 1.4 or 1.3 and higher.
javac -source 1.3 -target 1.3 .....
If the MSJVM is running your applet than stop using the applet tag and convert your html
page to use the object tag.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin\HtmlConverter.exe
If anything else provide us with a full trace of the problem:
To turn the full trace on (windows) you can start the java console, to be found here:
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4...\bin\jpicpl32.exe
In the advanced tab you can fill in something for runtime parameters fill in this:
-Djavaplugin.trace=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
if you cannot start the java console check here:
C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
I think for linux this is somewhere in youruserdir/java (hidden directory)
add or change the following line:
javaplugin.jre.params=-Djavaplugin.trace\=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option\=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
for 1.5:
deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0.args=-Djavaplugin.trace\=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option\=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
The trace is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\your user\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\log\plugin...log
I think for linux this is somewhere in youruserdir/java (hidden directory)
Print out the full trace of the exception:
try{...}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}

What's wrong with my AppletContext.showDocument?

ive been having a hard time figuring out my problem and i think its time to let this problem out to the world. im trying to call a certain html file to be shown on a certain frame of another html file, after a Java-made button is clicked.
to clear things out, here's the code:
<code>

the code above is good for one button only. i have made a dozen of these but im just testing one button for now to get the solution right.. the other would be later...

Problem with showDocument

I am having an applet that i lauch through WebStart. After doing some operations the applet launches a webpage. This i am achieving with the help of appletContext.showDocument((url, string) method, where the string can be "_self" or " _parent" or "_blank" to indicate whether the web page has to be launched by in a new window or in the parent window etc. But whatever option i give as the string parameter the web page gets launched in a "new window". I want to launch the webpage in the window that launched the applet. How can i do that? When I try using showDocument when the applet is embedded in the webpage it works fine! Please help me with this problem!

Unfortunately, there is no "window that launched the applet". A Java Web Start application or applet is launched (sometimes by a browser, sometimes not) as a seperate process, and has no connection to the browser when it is running. Most of the AppletContext showDocument args therefore have no meaning. The applet is not actually running in the browser, but in the download window, so any showDocuement requires launching a new browser. (which may use an existing browsers instance, depending on the browser and version)

AppletContext.showDocument() no longer working correctly

I am using appletContext.showDocument(), and it is not working now, I have IE 5.5 sp1, windows 2000 sp2. It still seems to work for others. Here is the code:
String location =
"http://mysite/controlcgi.dll?cmd=Restart";
URL url = new URL(location);
getAppletContext().showDocument(url);
When the url gets to the webserver, it appears the params are encoded - "cmd+ADO-Restart". I tried using the URLEncoder to encode the params first, but that did not work. Anyone with an idea?
Thanks
Kelley

I found the problem, I did not have the content-type defined in the web page where the applet was located. I added <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
and it started working fine. My best guess is that before IE 5.5 sp1 IE would default to this content type. Thanks for the help.

Any problem with Runtime.exec()

I am required to launch a local exe from an applet. At present I am using AppletContext.showDocument().The problem with this is that in netscape a box is popped up forcing the user to save that exe file. The requirwment is to run it directly without any message being asked.
A workaround is to use Runtime.exec(), it works, however I have heard that it is not platform independent.
(1) Is there a better solution than Runtime.exec() ?
(2) If not could you give me some info on Runtime.exec() and the problems associated with it ?
(3) Is there a way to use AppletContext.showDocument() without the message being asked ?
Shikari.

First of all, Java is platform independent language, and has many security restriction in it's applets.
so from an applet you can't excute a program using "Runtime.getRuntime().exec()".
coz. there is security restriction on that.
for the "AppletContext.showDocument()" this methid is for displaying the specified document on the client browser, so it can't excute a client program.
if u need to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() you have to get the client agreement for that.
see the applet security restriction for more info.

Intermittent Problem with Business Event.

Hi,
I have a problem with a BES Event. My suspicions are that the event is intermittently nor firing. It's custom code subscribed to '*.apps.ar.hz.PersonProfileExtAttr.Update' (an EBS Person Profile Extensible Attribute Update).
In the first lines of the custom code an audit is written to a table. For some one the updates to the Extensible Attribute no audit is written.
The table HZ_PARAM_TAB is cleared for the item
Q: Is there a way to prove that the BES Event did/did not fire?
Thanks in Advance,
Kieran.

Kieran,
Never experienced any performance issues when setting this profile option. However, you may review the following documents.

Problems with Netscape...

Hi friends,
(Apps: 11.5.7 DB: 8.1.7)
In selfservice I have a link to an image stored in database ... when I do click with Internet explorer, it shows the image withput problem but.. if I try to do it with Netscape (6.2) It appears a page with ascii chars... Any idea of this?
It doesn't occurs with Firefox...(it runs ok)
Thanks,
Jose.

Jose, Netscape 7.2 is certified with:
- Oracle Applications patch 9 (11.5.9) or later
- Oracle Developer 6i patchset 15 (6.0.8.24.x) or later
- Oracle Applications Framework 11i.FWK.H or later
- Windows XP/2000
- JInitiator 1.3.1.x
NOTE: Netscape 7.2 is no longer supported by the vendor. Oracle will continue to offer support for this browser with E-Business Suite on a 'Best Effort' basis only. Consequently, where issues are due to problems with the browser, we may, where necessary, require customers to upgrade or change their browser to resolve the issue.
No future certification of the Netscape browser is currently planned by Oracle. Firefox browser by Mozilla.org is certified for E-Business Suite.

Strange Problems with XDK v10 Beta Version

Hello together,
I encounter two strange problems with the new 10.1.0.0.0 Beta release of XDK. I already posted them in the Beta Release Testing Forum, but got no replies, so I decided to start another try here. Maybe anyone can help me...
I upgraded a fine-working XSQL web application from XDK 9.2.0.4 to the new 10.1.0.0.0 Beta release of XDK. Since then, two bugs came up, which are reproducible by will:
1.)
When processing XSQL insert-requests, the error given below is thrown. I already found an entry in the bug database that says that exactly this error should have been fixed since 9.2.0.3 (see http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=230695.1), but no it seems to be there again.
This is the stack trace:

When I reload the same page, it works. However, this is not really a good state for productive use.
Any ideas? After days of research, I'd be very glad for any help.
Thanks alot,
Eckhard

Once again me:
I guess I should partially revoke for the second topic: The error described above under 2.) seems to be rather a Weblogic versioning problem than a XDK bug, as it only occurs when deploying the application to WebLogic 7.0 (instead of 6.1, which was used before). Maybe I should search the BEA docs for an answer.
However, the first bug is still a problem to me...

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.
The code works fine under a console, code is supposed to exit when the client (the other server )disconnects. the problem is that but the clientworker side of the code still works. which under console it doesnt.
public class Server{
ServerSocket aServerSocket;
Socket dianosticsSocket;
