Hello everyone.
Yesterday I made a post about a conversion of an application to an
applet that my boss has requested. Thanks to all those that responded.
In my post I had two concerns:
1. Being not that familar with applets and having been about 4 years
since I'd written one, I needed input about getting properties from an
applications properties file that could be accessed or modified in some
way by the applet. Tons of great ideas from you guys, and THIS issue
should be considered closed.
2. My other concern involved Netscape 7.0 running under Tiger with the
applet. If I tried to access some of the menu bar items (like search,
home, etc) the applet would lock up and sometimes mess up the Netscape
window. Behaviour was VERY erratic. Being a bona fide paranoid, I
assumed it MUST BE MY WORK causing this. Our applications and applets
use synchronization between the actual "run()" method of the drawing
thread which calls "repaint()" and the "paintComponent()" method rather
than relying on the SwingUtilities class methods "invokeLater()" and
"invokeAndWait()". It worked well with every browser under Tiger EXCEPT
Netscape 7.0.
In any case, my machine is connected to a firewire drive that has both
Jaguar and Panther partitions. For the sake of backing up the data AND
doing some testing I copied my code to those directories, recompiled
(they're all using roughly the same version of Java 1.4.2 with minor
release variations) and guess what? THEY ALL WORKED FINE!!!
This begs the following questions:
1. Is this a Java problem with 1.4.2 under Tiger?
2. Is this a Netscape 7.0 problem?
3. Is this a Tiger problem?
Should I report this as a bug, and if so, to who? Netscape, Apple, or both?
I'm reporting this problem for two reasons:
1. In case any of you guys encounter the problem and, like me, assume
you've done something wrong.
2. To report the bug to the right people/company.
Once again, thanks for all the help you guys have given me.
Bill V.
