Re: Retrieving a fully qualified hostname under NT

1998-11-16 Thread Mark Hofmann

Thanks alot for your help,

looks like we've found something which isn't really
write-once-run-everywhere like ...

I don't like to implement something just because the java-port
for a particular OS does NOT do what it should (according to the java-doc
getHostName() retrieves the FQHN).
For me, this behavior of NT shows at least one of those two things:
a) NT is not a _real_ OS
b) M$ doesn't like Java (or is Sun doing the port for NT ??)

But this belongs to a different list

It should terminate if you override the destroy() method and call 
dispose() in it. I'm not sure if you need to call setVisible(false) and 
stop(), but it should not hurt.

I have an example at http://fieldrep.ed.umuc.edu/~crecord/
Click on the pinball game and verify that the quit button and close 
buttons work. You can also check out the source of the 
PinBallGameApplet.java.

dispose()? I browsed through the api docs and found no reference
to dispose()!

dispose() is a method of the Window class, which is extended by 
the Frame class. This causes a frame that has been created by an 
applet to "go away". This is what I use when I have an applet that 
created a frame. Opps, this may not be the answer to your original 
question. Sorry.

Accepting sockets ?

1998-11-16 Thread Rob Nugent

Hi,

I am trying to write a server program that accepts a large number of
socket connection. However, when the number of sockets goes over about
250, the accept call either blocks, or throws an
InvalidArgumentException.

I did wonder if this is related to the maximum number of open file
descriptors allowed ? However, the problem occurs on NT and AIX as well
as Linux.

My server code can be summarized as follows:

import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Serv
{
ServerSocket ss;

public void go() throws IOException
{
  ss = new ServerSocket(9876);
  int i =0;
  Vector v = new Vector();
  while (true)
  {
   System.out.println(">");
   Socket cs = ss.accept();
   System.out.println("<");
   v.addElement(cs);
   System.out.println("Accepted " + (i++));
  }
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
   Serv s = new Serv();
   s.go();
}
}

Can anyone suggest what I need to do to address this ? Thanks.

Rob

You certainly have glibc.
I suggest you get
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/hurricane/i386/jdk-sn-1.1.6-1.2glibc.i386.rpm
which should install without any drama. If you have a fast connexion, you
could even do this:
rpm -i   
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/hurricane/i386/jdk-sn-1.1.6-1.2glibc.i386.rpm
 

If you want online docs, your solaris docs are fine.

ps Quite likely you have libc as well: I understand it gets installed as a
compatibility measure as glibc isn't binary-compatible with libc. This
command will tell you:
   rpm -q libc glibc
and maybe return
   libc-5.3.12-24
   glibc-2.0.7-19

Why no audio player for java-linux?

1998-11-16 Thread Chip Grandits

I was wondering if the Blackdown port for linux supports sound.
I have never been able to get a single sound out of java-linux.
I am using a debian linux distribution with glibc
I have a soundblaster AWE64, but with the basic driver that treats it like an
SB16
I am able to hear sound with various command line utilities and netscape
plugins.
I can dump messages to my audio devices (/dev/dsp and /dev/audio) and get sound
I made sure that appletviewer (actually a simlink to .java_wrapper) has setuid
root so it can access those devices.
>From the properties menu selection I set unrestricted class access
I downloaded an example program from O'Reilly's Java Examples In A Nutshell
which uses the simple AudioClip.play() to produce a sound.
Whenever I run the appletviewer with an applet that uses AudioClip.play() and it
comes to to play the clip
I get the following message sent to the terminal

no audio device
audio player exit

The applet stops.

I suspect this error message means the implementation I have is incapable of
producing sound.
I cannot find any mention of sound problems with java anywhere on the internet
nobody answers
any question I post related to this in newsgroups.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Why no audio player for java-linux?

1998-11-16 Thread peter . pilgrim

Absolut Nonsense.

Have you tried using one of the examples from the JDK demos, if you downloaded 
them. I think one of the applets in the Graphics subdirectory has something 
which plays audio sounds.

Is your sound card properly configured. The only game I know that used sound was
`XGalaga'. I think the problem lies with your software treating AWE64 as a SB16.

It may help to download the latest sound driver that you can get from Open Sound
System, then recompile the linux kernel. I think it is `www.opensound.com'

Activator and JDK 1.1.7+TYA?

1998-11-16 Thread Mario Camou

Hi,

I'm probably asking a dumb question, but hope springs eternal...I'm sort of
hoping the README isn't up to date...

Can Java Activator run on JDK 1.1.7+TYA? (or even without TYA). I don't relish
having to have two distinct JDK versions on the same machine, what with all the
problems with environment vars pointing to the wrong version.

According to the Java Activator README on blackdown:

Versions

The Runtime-plugin for Linux is available on both glibc and libc5 platforms. The
following configurations are absolutely neccessary:

glibc

  Steve Byrne's 1.1.5v5 glibc port of the jdk (jdk1.1.5v5-980311.tar.gz)
  libc-2.0.6.so
  libdl-2.0.6.so
  ld-2.0.6

The output of 'java -version' should return "cls:03/11/11-08:49" n

libc5

  Steve Byrne's 1.1.5v6 libc5 port of the jdk (jdk1.1.5.tar.gz)
  libc.so.5.4.44 or greater
  libm.so.5.0.9 or greater
  libdl.so.1.8.5 or greater

The output of 'java -version' should return "Linux_JDK_1.1.5_v6"

M I've allways wondered why there isn't a JARPATH environment variable (or
something of the sort), where each .JAR or .ZIP within is treated as being on the
CLASSPATH. This way it wouldn't be neccessary to add new .jar's to your CLASSPATH
every time you want to install a new class library or application - just dump it in
your JARPATH.

On a related note, wouldn't it be nice if compiled runnable/executable classes
(those with a main() method) had a different extension to other classes's (lets say
.eclass or something). This would be completely transparent as far as the language
is concerned and both executable/non-executable classes classes would be treated
the same by the VM/classloader. The .eclass extension would allow legacy file
managers, etc, to identify runnable classes and associate them with the VM,
allowing users to launch them by double-clicking.

Perhaps it would also be cool to be able to specify a default runnable class for a
.jar file, allowing users to invoke an application (which comes distributed as a
.jar) by typing java 

IMO, the cross-platform capabilities of java are seriously hurt by all the hoops
that end-users have to jump through (setting up classpaths, .sh/.bat files, etc)
just to get someone elses application to run. Admittedly, java installshield and
the like do do a good job of setting this stuff up, but a more general (and built
in) solution is required.
