I too am interested in the JDK for alpha linux.  I have the binary
distribution from Uncle George.
jdk116_alpha_21164a_linux_bin_v1.gz
jdk116_alpha_linux_classes_v1.gz

But found some problems when trying to use habanero on top of it. 
Further, I'd be interested in getting the diffs so I could try them on
jdk117 and help out with the alpha port.

Jon,

It appears to be running java_ns...?

I dont have v2 but the README.linux for v5 states:

"You will not be able to run any AWT based applications with the nonstatically
linked java interpreter, so only set NS_JAVA for non-GUI based applications.
[For the curious: in the bin/i586/green_threads/ directory, the executables
(java for the static version, and java_ns for the non-static version) are kept.
"

I got the same error message by setting NS_JAVA=true in a otherwise good
setup...

question about installing

1998-10-18 Thread Sunny Sandhu


Hi, 

i'm not sure if this is the right email address to send a question of
this nature to, i apologize if it isn't.

I just downloaded the file jdk_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86-tar.bz2 and i am
unsure how to install it.  I am new to Linux, and i am aware of the
command 'tar zxvf filename', but i get an error message that it doens't
look like a tar archive.  i tried renaming to a .Z and .tar extension
but it didn't work.

thanks.

First you should have bzip2 package installed in you machine. If you are
using RedHat < 5.0 try
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/i386/bzip2-0.9.0b-1.i386.rpm
if RedHat > 5.0 
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-5.1 (or 0)/RedHat/RPMS/bzip2-0.1pl2-1.i386.rpm 

If you have other linux distribution try
http://www.digistar.com/bzip2/bzip2-*.*

After this try:

bzip2 -d jdk...tar.bz2
and you'll obtain the tar file. Run: tar -xf jdk..tar and you'll
obtain that you wish.

Another way (if you have a RedHat distribution installed on your
machine) is to install the jdk rpm's from:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/i386/jdk.rpm ( RedHat <= 4.2)
or
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/hurricane/i386/jdkrpm ( RedHat >= 5.0) 

Good luck,

Yup, that is what would happen.  If you want to use the dynamically
linked Java with AWT you need to set DYN_JAVA=true.  This version will
need to have Motif shared libraries on your system.  Normally you would
not set either DYN_JAVA or NS_JAVA if you want to run AWT and do not own
a copy of Motif.

NS_JAVA is mainly there so that you can run non-GUI Java applications without
X-Windows installed.  Such as server-side applications/servlets.  This
reduces the size of the memory used and does not require that X be installed
on the system.

.tar.bz2 files are much like .tar.gz files only they are compressed using
bzip2 rather than gzip.  bzip2 is rather new and not "fully established"
yet so many systems do not have this installed.  Tar also does not directly
know about bzip2 (at least the versions I have)

So, you need to get BZIP2 to decompress the file and then run that through
"tar -xf".  Otherwise you could download the .tar.gz version of the file.
It is the exact same tar file only with gzip compression.  This normally
is very easy to extract since tar tends to know how to deal with this
if you use "tar -zxf" (the -z tells it to use gzip filter)

Re: libawt.so purgatory

Thanks to Mr. Watson and Mr. Sinz for replying. Yes, changing the NS_JAVA
environmental variable worked. At some point in the install procedure I had
set it in an attempt to resolve an earlier difficulty... but instead of
unsetting it, I unset, as my earlier note suggested, JAVA_NS. Heh.

Thanks again.

installation?

1998-10-18 Thread Clint Miller

Hi there -

I'm an experienced linux user but brand new to java.  I've followed the
directions in the linux java faq
(http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/docs/faq/FAQ-java-linux-3.html#ss3.2)
for installation on (a rigorously patched) i386 RH 5.1:
--(snip)--
$ tar zxvf /tmp/jdk1.1.6.tar.gz
$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ export PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.1.6/bin:$PATH
$ appletviewer \
/usr/local/jdk1.1.6/demo/awt-1.1/lightweight/OpenlookButtons/example.html
--(snip)--
All easy enough, except that the jdk_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz file
doesn't seem to contain a "demo" subdirectory or anything called "awt". 
Just "lib", "bin", and "include".  Are there other files I need to get
and install for a complete installation?

Additionally, there is a "biss-awt" subdir on the ftp site with multiple
versions and I'm confused about which (if any) that I need and where (if
anywhere) I would put them under the "jdk116_v5" subdir.  They also
contain no "demo" subdir.

One more thing, what are all the other files in the "i386" directory:
rt_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz 
jre_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz
i18n_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz 

What are they, are they required, and where do they get installed?

Please enlighten me.  I'm really confused and just want to write java
GUIs.

Thanks!

Sending objects down a stream problem

1998-10-18 Thread Glenn Valenta

I'm almost sure this is one of those problems cuased by
my misconception of how things work in Java v.s. C++,
but I have run this thing around for days without resolve. 

Maybe someone can see the obvious

I'm trying to send a serialized class down a network pipe and am 
only getting the first one on the other end. The rest seem to vanish.

The concept is to have a gpsStat class serialized and sent down the
pipe each second to a client that will display it. My code appears
to be working for the most part except that the object sent from 
the server to the client never changes from the first one I sent.


On the sending end I have:


gpsStat y=new gpsStat();   //make object to serialize
while(true)
  {//fake data into gpsStat
   y.month++;  y.day++; y.year++;
   sleep(500);   //fake pause to simulate GPS reciever

   objOStream.writeObject(y);  //send it
   objOStream.flush();  
   }  


while(true)//keep printing out objects as they arrive
  {
gpsStat g=(gpsStat)objIStream.readObject(); //get object
System.out.println("server returned -> "+g.toString()); //print
object
  }

Anybody see my mistake?

[code deleted...]

You are trying to send the same object down the same (already open)
object output stream.  The serialization stuff keeps track of what
was sent already and does not send it again.

You can either send new objects or close and open new streams for
each one.

You can use ObjectOutputStream::reset() instead of closing/opening new
streams.

Printing from applet using Netscape

Java people,

I'm trying to print from my applet ran in Netscape 4.05 ... My
applet is in a signed jar and uses a plugin ... Running the
applet and trying to print, I get the message (from the Java
console):

Invalidating certificate principals in [http://blah-blah-blah/,]

What needs to be done before I could get to print from my
applet?

Than'x for all the help ... :-)
