Refreshing Swing Applet
I have an applet (javax.swing.JApplet) running with textarea. I am updating the text area for each successful process. When the application is running, if any other window is opened, then minimised, the applet window will have the print of the opened window. I mean, that will not show the exact applet window it is suppose to show. even i tried repaint(), validate() methods to refresh it.
When there will be always a process running updating textarea. how can i refresh the applet ?
repaint();

Swing applet refresh problem in JRE1.6
Now , i met a problean in java swing project which troubled me for a long time, that i want to ask for some suggestions, I really very very thank you.
The problean is :
we use the swing in the applet , and run it with JRE 1.6, we find that the interface often disappear and appears blank when refresh the page , but when we use the mouse to over the control which in the interface ,then this control will appear . Then we try to reduce some not used codes/packets in this project , then we find that this phenomenon will appear less often.
This defect will not appear in JRE 1.4 and JRE 1.5. And also it will not appear when just run it as a desktop program.
I don't know if it is a bug in JRE 1.6 or it is due to our program. Can you give me some suggestions ? Thank you!
More information like following document :
=================================================================================================
2, Problem happen condition :
Applet with swing;
Run in JRE1.6 environment;
Open or refresh the applet web page;
IE, Netscape, Mozilla , almost all explorers.
3, Problean describe :
Open the Start.html page and click the �Pre-Provisioning Tool� button to open the PPT.html page. There is a configuration applet which uses swing in the PPT page. When we open or refresh this page , the applet often disappear and show blank. And when we move the mouse over the position of the control which in the applet , these controls then will appear again. But if we use the buttons which in the applet to open and back to the applet tab page, it will not show blank.
At last we find that this problem is a very common problem when run applet in JRE1.6. It may happen whenever you run the applet which uses swing controls in JRE1.6.
And I find that we use �Ctrl + Alt + Del� to lock the computer and then login in again when the page is blank, then the page will turn ok and the applet will appear.
This prolem just happen in JRE1.6 environment . If in JRE1.4 or 1.5 it performes good.
4, What cause this issue :
Until now , we have no successful and perfect solution to solve this problem completely. And we still don�t know the real reasons that causes this issue.. We find that there are some people in internet also met this issue and has no solution.
But we can give some options to try to find the real reasons. And we also have been try some time :
It may a bug for JRE1.6. We can sure that it is not a bug for explorers, because it happens the same in all explorers. If it�s a JRE bug , I think we can only to waite the newer version JRE to solve this issue.
It due to our program. If this is true, I think we may modify the program to solve this sssue. But I�m afraid that it may need us to modify too much.
5, What works we have been try :
5.2 For our program : We try such ways :
1) If the project too big and too much to download : We remove the not needed modules that in TCOTool project. .
Result : This problem happened less often
2) If some methods are not compatible between JRE 1.4/1.5 and JRE1.6 : I try to modify these method to fit JRE1.6 and compile the project by jDK1.6. (Methed such as show() to setVisible(true), hidden() to setVisible(false) )
result : This problem happened less often but it�s also will happen.
3) If operator too much when open PPT/SUT : such as load xml file too much times and so on.

Welcome you to send mail to [email protected]I will start by stating that I really have no idea what the problem could be. I will add to that by stating that I am going way out on a limb here.
That said - have you checked all your browser settings, cleared your cache and all the other things one usually does when an Applet acts quirky?
Also, have you tried the Applet tag instead of Object just for a test?
Sorry I can't do better than that, but w/o seeing the code, it's going to be difficult for anyone to help I think unless they have had a similar problem. -
Which command i use to run SWING APPLET
Hi friends,
i m a new in swing technology i got and problem when i run swing applet .
i make a file and complie it with -deprecation it work and make a .class file but how can i run this applet [i use jview command , appletviewer command but it can't work]
i hope that someone hellp me.Just as a matter of interest and i know its a stupid question, but did you create a html file to access the class file/jar
Here is some example code of an applet html page
Hope it helps...
Also have you put it in a Jar file?

Swing Applet - Internet Explorer - Focus issue - tool tips
Hi ,
We are using Swing applet in IE Browser , except this swing component rest of the components in the browser are HTML/DHTML components.
and we are having issue focus issue with this swing components ,
once immediately after launching the swing applet , the UI components are having some focus issue , if I bring the mouse on top of the swing UI components , we couldn't able to see the tooltips(flyover text) of those Swing UI components.
However if we click some where on the Swing applet frame , we are able to see these tooltips(flyover text) .
It looks like a kind of compatibility issue between swing and IE browser .
I am trying to find a solution for this issue , so that once after launching the applet , tooltips will work without need to click on the applet bar.
Can somebody share some thoughts on this issue??
Thanks,
Bonthu.As a wild guess you are mixing Swing and awt components which is a big no-no and among other things can cause repainting, refreshing issues.
If you want more help then that you need to post some code that shows us what you are doing. -
I have 2 simple swing applets running simultaneously. When I refresh the browser window in which one of them has been launched from, I get the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D.<init>(SunGraphics2D.java:211)
Any ideas? I'm testing with IE 6.0, JRE 1.4.0_02
I'm assuming that the problem is thread related, but can't seem to resolve the problem.Thanks for the help, but I'm still having problems.
I've trimmed the code down even more, and still have the same problem. It works fine as long as I have one instance of the applet running at once. Here's the HTML/Javascript that I'm using to launch the two instances.
Another weird behavior is that the applet that I'm popping up in exploitationFrame.html has no problems when I refresh. Only the applet which is displayed in the main browser has problems.

URGENT!!! Swing applets
Hi guys!
I've an applet in a HTML page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Demostración de Listas Ordenadas</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

The applet is a Swing applet.
In the SortedList.jar(it�s already in the server) I've packed the files that SortedListApplet.class uses.
The content of SortedList.jar is:
SortedListApplet.class
...(directories with other files)
Is that correct??
Netscape 6 can't load SortedListApplet.class!!
Please help me!!!

Unable to download images in a swing applet (1.3.1) behind proxy
Hi
One of my client have a proxy server and firewall and when they try to access my webserver
then all the AWT applet are downloaded and rendered on client properly. However, the swing applet written
using JDK 1.3.1 is downloaded and rendered but it doesn't display anything properly as images
are not down loaded. I have used media tracker to add images to it like oMediaTracker.addImage( oImage, index );
and then oMediaTracker.waitForAll();

etc
I can't set the plugin at client to use automatic script just like IE browser uses. This option is not supported in JRE1.3.1. Looks to be supported in JRE1.4.1. My client doesn't want to set manual proxy ip and port in plugin as they don't want to reveal this info to everyone within the company for security reason.
Q.2. Why some classes like PanelBeanInfo.class, JAppletBeanInfo.class are downloaded
from my server while it doesn't exist at my webserver. Any thing stupid IE or plugin doing
at client. Any Idea?
Thanks in advance for any help.
RatanThanks to Mike and other friends who already replied on this topic.
Here is my research analysis:
Answer to Question 1:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The solution is to bundle all the images with JAR. Bundle with jar whichever needs it. However, it might require duplicacy.
Image img = null;
try
img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(fileName));
catch (Exception e) { }
In this case make sure that you have image at the same location where you access it. For example if you have to access an image in package class com.awt.ui.MyClass then your image should also be at location ..\com\awt\ui
Note: It will require image duplicacy in your JAR but it solves the problem. It gives the advantage of fewer download from server.
Answer to Question 2:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IE treats applet as an active-X and try to look for these classes in your JAR. SUN has stopped its support in JDK1.3.1 and plus. What one can do is to create dummy classes with these names and bundle it with your JAR. You have to create these dummy classes if you enable Basic authentication on your web server then browser will try to look for these classes on the server and continue to prompt you for login and password. It might bother your customer un-necessarily to enter login and password too many times prompted by plug-in (plug in).

How to run swing applets in a browser??
I understand it is a typical question and there lot of articles on it. I tried but am confused. I installed JRE1.3 which has java plug-in along with it which supports swing applets in a browser.Once i got that plug in i also downloaded html converter but am confused how should i run my swing applet.Can anyone please explain in simple steps as to how to achieve this objective..Thanks much in advance..an example would be of real big help
ThanksThe below links will help you.

Best IDE and how-to create HTML for a swing Applet
Can you help me out? I've been using, and teaching with the old Symantec VisualCafe product from long, long, ago. It still works fine & I can even use it to build JFC/Swing Applets etc. But a few things have occurred. For one, a way back, Symantec sold VisualCafe to WEBGAIN - who now has gone out of business and sold it to a company called TOGETHERSOFT - who doesn't support it any longer.
This isn't really a big deal to me, because I can still build and deploy applets that are pre-swing easily enough. (as can my students)
HOWEVER... I'd like to be running with the LATEST Java (I think it's 1.4.01) and I'd LIKE to use whatever is the best development environment I can use - especially one I can recommend to my students. Do you know what that should be?
What's more, I'd still like to take some JFC/Swing created applets (even if compiled with the older VisualCafe IDE) and generate the HTML to allow 1.4 enabled browsers to run them (this is the case for the schools versions of Explorer and Netscape). Now, the HTML I have INSTALLED for the students used the HTML converter - back in 1.2 to produce the HTML at the bottom of this. This code no longer works now with current browsers. Do you know HOW one makes a jfc/swing compiled applet run on the latest browsers?
Any help or direction you can give would be appreciated.
thanks,
Bobby Berns

<!--"END_CONVERTED_APPLET"-->Bobby,
It's been a while since I've used the HTML Converter, but if I had to guess I'd say you need a newer version than what you have. Also, doesn't the converter allow you to choose which JDK you want to use (in which case you could select 1.4)? Again it's been a while so bear with me. Another option would be to put all the Swing classes into a .jar file (typically called swingall.jar) on your server and include that file as an attribute in your applet tag like this:
<APPLET CODE="yourApplet.class" ARCHIVE="swingall.jar">
This way you don't have to use the Java Plug-in, however the initial download time of the .jar file can be significant.
As for an IDE, I've always been happy using a text editor like UltraEdit. However, I've heard good things about Forte, and hey, it's free!
Regarding Christina's post, that solution will only work if the Applet does not use Swing components (and Bobby specifically said it does). By using the <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags, rather than the <APPLET> tag, you force the browser to use the Java Plug-in (rather than the browser's default JVM).
Hope that helps,

hi there,
I am a student at the University of Portsmouth in the UK in my third and last year. I am doing my dissertation as a game using applets for a client at the university of which there consits four prototypes. One of the main specification points is that it should work on an apple mac, therefore I am using Swing applets. however with my first prototype it works fine on windows in windows Explorer, firefox and Netscape but i cant get it to work on Mac os 9 or X even with the latest version of java installed on the machine. Can anyone tell me why this is so, I would be very gratefull.
As I cant post the whole applet here as a file download I will just put some code snippets of the main program classes.

This link states Mac OS X 10.4 now supports Java 5.0. It does mention nothing about Mac OS 9 or previous version of OS X. The problem you may be facing is that your Mac is running only 1.4.2 or less. The class files compiled for Java 5.0 can't run in non 5.0 versions of the Java Virtual Machine. Java 5.0 was a major release for the Java language and thus the change in numbering (though it took a little bit for this to change).
Anyway you should confirm what version of Java you have installed on your Mac.
At a command prompt:
java -version
The above URL states that the previous 1.4.2 Java version is not uninstalled, and this could still be the preferred version to use for Java applications even after installing Java 5.0.
The URL above states there is a utility to set your apps to use Java 5.0 as the perferred Java version. Who knows maybe this is all you need to do. I hope this is the case, then it probably is an easy fix, otherwise you may need to rewrite your app in Java 1.4.2 to get it to run on your version of Mac. -

How to use Flash buttons/animation in a Swing/Applet?

PDF document in a Swing Applet?
How can you display a PDF document in a Swing Applet?
I have implemented a document archiving solution that provides a Swing UI to search a database for available documents. All the documents in the archive are in the PDF format. To accomplish this I use an html frameset where a Swing applet is displayed in one frame and the PDF document is displayed in the lower frame. I use LiveConnect to have my javascript communicate with the applet. My applet calls a javascript function that causes the URL of the lower frame point to the PDF document. This works fine, but I would rather use an all Java UI instead of depending on the browser and javascript.
How can we get Adobe or Sun to address this need? -
Swing applet view problem in IE
Hi,
I am new to Java and have to develop a web enabled tool where the servlets in my Solaris-Tomcat web server is manipulating with data in an oracle database. The client code is on Swing Applet, which is to be opened in Internet Explorer 5.5 from Windows NT platform.
In view of this, I have written a small swing applet and it is not opening in IE. I heard that I need to use HTML converter to run Swing applets in IE. But, Is it enough to download the HTML converter for Solaris and install it in the server and convert the html pages where <applet> tag is included? Or , do I need to install the HTML converter for windows to all the client machines?
Please help. This is very urgent.
Thanks in adance.You can use this html code :
<html>
<body>
<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" WIDTH = 695 HEIGHT = 525 codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0">
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = MyApplet >
<PARAM NAME = CODEBASE VALUE = "." >
<PARAM NAME = ARCHIVE VALUE = "MyApplet.jar" >
<PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
<PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="false">
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>
replacing only the dimension, the code value and removing or modifying archive value.
Don't modiy the classid. This code indicates to the browser to use the Sun Java VM instead of its own vm.
I hope this helps,

Dear,
Is there any way to use swing applet in IE.
Thanks,If you are trying to make your code workable with Microsoft's VM, then I'd say you are looking for trouble. That VM's version is 1.1.4, if I'm not mistaken.
Better stick to the JRE 1.4 with the plugin.
