Question on "use java .... for [applet]" option in IE

posted April 30, 2003 09:27 AM
If a plug-in is installed, IE includes an option under the advanced tab, similar to this: "use Java 1.4.1_02 for [applet]"
Im trying to understand exactly what this is. Sorry if what I'm saying is obvious... If your HTML has the [applet] tag rather than the [object] tag, IE will use the sun plug-in? If true, and since the [applet] tag does not automatically down load a plug-in, the client would have to have this plug-in already installed?
Is is also true that this advanced option in IE does not have anything to do with an applet using the [OBJECT] tag. If the [object] tag is in the html, then the browser will always use the plug-in regardless of whether the IE option is checked?
Thanks for your help! Soon I'll have this applet technology down, but still many questions...

New versions of Internet Explorer will automatically grab the Java plugin specified to run applets that are coded on webpages using the <APPLET> tag. The plugin would have had to be pre-installed on the machine - as it will not automatically download the plugin to do this. Only the <Object> tag will do that.
And yes...this only affects the <APPLET> tag. Any OBJECT tags you will encounter that require a specific JDK will still prompt you to download that if you don't have it and will use that version, regardless of whether that advanced option is selected.
You can also do some configuation with newer plugins via the icon located in your Control Panel.
Good luck with applets... just wait until you have to implement one for the Crackintosh. ;-)

  • How to use offset for select-option parameter ?

    Hi experts
    could anybody please let me know how to use offset for select-option parameter. i can able to use offset for table fields, variabiles and all , but don't know how to use for parameters.
    following is my code
    SELECT-OPTIONS: s_prctr  FOR vbsegs-prctr OBLIGATORY.
    here "prctr"  length is 10.
    i'm using two tables  1. vbsegd-bupla
                                    2. vbsegs-prctr
    here prctr+6(4) = bupla.
    "Bupla" length is 4
    SELECT belnr gjahr bukrs bupla sgtxt buzei FROM vbsegd INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_vbsegd FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_vbkpf
                                                                 WHERE belnr = it_vbkpf-belnr
                                                                   AND gjahr = it_vbkpf-gjahr
                                                                   AND bukrs = it_vbkpf-bukrs
                                                                   AND bupla IN s_prctr.  
    the above statement is not working as prctr and bupla lenths are different. here i want to use offset.
    SELECT belnr gjahr bukrs prctr sgtxt buzei FROM vbsegs INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_vbsegs FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_vbkpf
                                                                WHERE belnr = it_vbkpf-belnr
                                                                  AND gjahr = it_vbkpf-gjahr
                                                                  AND bukrs = it_vbkpf-bukrs
                                                                  AND prctr IN s_prctr.
    this is working as prctr and s_prctr lengths are equal.
    could anybody please help me out in this.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards
    satish

    Below code will work for you.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: s_prctr  FOR vbsegs-prctr OBLIGATORY.
    RANGES: s_bupla FOR vbsegd-bupla.
    s_bupla[] = s_prctr[].
    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM s_bupla.
    SELECT belnr gjahr bukrs bupla sgtxt buzei FROM vbsegd INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_vbsegd FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_vbkpf
                                                                  WHERE belnr = it_vbkpf-belnr

  • Can I use Java for PI database?

    Does anyone ever used Java for PI dababase? Is it possible?
    I know PI has an ODBC driver including core SQL conforming to

    solution possible?
    Thanks a lot.
    (PI database is the database developed by OSISOFT for plant information database.)

  • Using Java for dynamic web page content

    I've currently got a Perl program that I'd like to convert to Java. It merges two files that are stored on a web server and generates a "dynamic" HTML response.
    For example, if I have the following files on the server:
    File1:
    <Comment1>This stuff</Comment1>
    <Comment2>That stuff</Comment2>
    File2:
    <HTML>
    <Comment1><br><Comment2>
    </HTML>
    When I go to the URL
    www.mysite.com\cgibin\merge.pl?file1&file2
    the Perl program will produce a web page saying:
    This stuff
    That stuff
    The major obstical for the rewrite: NO JSP ALLOWED. It's not allowed by the ISP.
    Now for the questions:
    - Could this be done using Java?
    - How could I initiate the Java app and pass it the parameters? (applet tag, access Java inside Perl, use Java Script somehow)
    - Will an applet tag even work for this since the final page is generated completely from other files?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    If your ISP don't support JSP / Servlets,
    1.use any server side technolgy, something like ASP.
    2.Read the files and transform them as Strings (or StringBuffers).
    3.Pass these Strings as parameters to the applet (if you are forced to use java technology, otherwise you can do it using ASP itself).
    4.Construct the required format (content) in your applet.
    Don't forget that the stuff will be in applet but not a complete web page. The ideal solution is asking your ISP to provide JSP engine.

  • Question of using Struts for the J2EE pattern

    I am now using Struts for the development. I have 3 questions about J2EE
    pattern by the use of Struts:
    1) How can I use Struts to create the Front Controller? In the book
    descibing Front Controller, it is a servlet file which receives the request
    and then dispatches to the appropriate view according to the request.
    However, in using Struts, should I use the same way? However, I found that
    in using Struts, I can call the controller class which subclass
    ActionServlet, all the views forwarded are declared in the
    struts-config.xml. Am I right in this method?
    2) In the project, there is a Front Controller which dispatches the request
    to the appropriate view (jsp file). Of course, I use Struts to do this.
    However, I expect that the user is impossible for going to the view (jsp
    page) directly by typing the address of the jsp file. I hope that the user
    can go to the view through the controller only. How can I do this?
    3) There is a problem by using browser - when a user browses a site, he can
    press the 'back' button to the previous page, and then click the 'forward'
    button also. How can I prevent this by using Struts? I found that in some
    sites, when the user clicks the 'back' button, an error page displays. How
    can I do this? Thanks!
    Many Thanks!
    Stephen

    I'll take a stab at number 2 and number 3.......
    2) You could have the controller object place a "flag" in the request that is dispatched to the JSP. Make the JSP check for that flag to ensure that this request came from the controller object. If the request comes from anywhere other than the controlle object, you can display an error page, or you could redirect them back to the controller. You could also use the HTTPSessionObject to place flags for users and have the JSP check there.
    3) Keep a log of the user's activities in the HTTPSession. Whenever a page is invoked, have it check to see if the user has already been here, and if it is appropriate for the user to be here again.
    Hope this helps!!
    I'm not really a java programmer, I just play one on TV.

  • Using Java for Web Pages

    Is there any way to completely avoid HTML for Web pages? can Java be used entirely for sites?

    (X)HTML cannot be completely avoided, this is the only one markup language which the web browser can interpret to display websites. If you want to avoid writing plain vanilla HTML and scriptlets and want more interaction with Java, consider a MVC framework like JSF or Struts.

    Seriously: as said, there's no charge.

    I'd have to agree with JElliot, generally the benefits of running web-enabled applications server-side outway the use of client-side applets. There are several factors to consider, but most notably...
    * Code Security
    It is not difficult to decompile Java bytecode back into something which closely resembles the original source. There are a host of decompilers out there, some even include deobfuscation algorithms to make short work of any obfuscation. If your client-side applets contain valuable intellectual property which is worth an investment in trying to reverse-engineer, which they probably do considering your comments, then you can pretty much kiss your market edge good bye.
    Running apps server-side through something like a web interface are inherently more secure you are providing the applications services, but not the app itself (barring any attempts to hack your server or physically break in and steal its HD :)
    * Ease of maintanence
    Due to the centralised nature of a server-side app, installation and maintanence of your app is alot easier. (Im currently designing a web-based app that is going to service some pretty large engineering firms, the thought of attempting to install and upgrade every app on every computer within such firms is a little scary).
    * Ease of access
    If designed to support exsisting browser technology, there is no need for installation of propietry software. This is a big selling point for companies who really dont want to spend thousands of dollars and many hours installing software onto hundreds of machines. It also means that the software can be accessed over LANs, WAN, VPN, or the Internet. (Like roaming profiles, only it works). One client asked us about a particular peice of software "Is it web-based". When we answered yes the response was a definate "we'll take it".
    Mind you there is a couple of downsides to server-side stuff, namely the complexity jumps up a few notches due to the need of multiple tiers within the app just to have some sort of abstraction and workability in it all. Your often limited in interfaces as well, but in most cases people just want something that works, not something neccessarily pretty. One of the hardest concepts I've found is the idea of application state. Bassicly with web-based stuff you don't have any, and youve got to build it yourself. You can often strike a middle line, with all sorts of business logic performed server side, and only rudimentry GUI stuff in applets.
    I wouldn't feel too guilty about it all. Like all things, there is a learning curve, and just getting your head around this conceptual stuff is half the battle. Once you've worked that out, then the easy stuff is coding it. The most annoying thing is when you look back in six months time and kick yourself for not realising half the stuff you know then now.

  • Questions about Using Itunes for Nano. New User

    Hi everyone! i am a new ipod user that is new to the itunes software. I have a few questions regarding making playlists and transferring them into the ipod nano and deleting songs from the ipod nano thru itunes or the device. Can someone provide a link or a detail procedure? i've tried already and i can't figure it out. Thank you!

    If I understand what it is you want to accomplish correctly, you can do this if you turn off automatic synchronization. Connect your iPod and click the iPod Options button at the bottom of iTunes. Click the Music button and select "Manually manage songs and playlists." You can then delete specific tracks and playlists directly from the iPod, In addition, iTunes will then not automatically remove the tracks from the iPod if you delete them from iTunes. Note that you'll have to drag songs from your library or playlist to iPod in the Source list to add new tracks.
    For further information, please see page 22 of your iPod nano manual.
    Hope this answers the question.

  • Using Java for scripting in games - which technology to use?

    Hi, I'm currently in the process of implementing a java scripting implementation for a 3D game engine. Any suggestions on which java technology to use? It will handle high level game specific logic and a gui. So there will be a native implementation of awt created as well. I'm starting off with win32 and will port to mac and linux later.
    I'm thinking J2ME-CDC, but then theres CDLC, the personal edition, and so on. CDC and CDLC are nice since the jvm code is included but the CDC one needs to be ported to win32 (anyone already do this?)

    J2ME is designed for small consumer devices such as mobile phones, pda, pagers, set-top boxes and so on.
    You'r designing something for windows, mac and linux so I'd suggest standard edition rather than micro edition.
    I'm confused as to what you want to do though.
    Also, "porting" a java program shouldn't really be an issue (unless you've used lots of JNI or Runtime stuff).
    Basically though I don't really understand what you want to do, I did have some idea, but then you started talking about Micro Edition.
