Java Forum / First Aid / November 2005Check of GUI layout requested..
I have a GIF animator GUI that I am working on, but since uploading the latest version, I have failed to see the new UI when launching it using WebStart. I was wonderrring if folks could tell me where the draggable toolbar[1] appears in this UI[2]. Across the top (old version - 0.1 in the help), or along the right-hand side (new version - 0.2)? Note that to see The Giffer on-screen, you will need to .. - Download about 60-90 Kilobytes of classes. - Accept two separate 'Do you trust Me?' dialogs. If you don't (trust me), don't waste your time/bandwidth. [1] The toolbar contains controls like the Color Quantization Quality slider, and spinners. [2] <http://www.physci.org/giffer/giffer0512.jnlp> TIA Hi Andrew, your app can't start (error 404). Please check your jnlp file.

Just checked the JNLP file, uninstalled and reinstalled The Giffer using the link I gave. It should be one of the files in the (browsable) directory here.. <http://www.physci.org/giffer/> That file again is 'giffer0512.jnlp'. Is it the JNLP file itself that cannot be found, or one of the component jars?

The problem is > they are requesting the old JDK 1.5.0_04 only. ?? Never in any of those files is '1.5.0_04' specified as the java version (I just eyeballed them all again). In all but one file, the mimimum java is listed as .. version="1.4.2+" ..while in a single file '..giffer/giffer0512_1.4.2_03.jnlp', I specify the version as .. version="1.4.2_03" ..for testing purposes, since I can use it to check against my 1.4.2_03 JRE install and ensure my 1.5 focused environment has not accidentally slipped to compiling it for 1.5 (I probably would not have bothered checking, had the author of the image library not complained that he could not see it on his 1.4 Java machine). I cannot account for where the '1.5.0_04' is coming from. On Mon, 14 Nov 2005 16:16:41 GMT, Andrew Thompson <seemysites@www.invalid> wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said : >??

Oddly it seems to work fine for jnlp links, but not for that directory list. I don't see the difference. However, now I have corrected it, it works.

The problem is resolved and I have seen the new GUI on the screen.

(slaps self) It took me a little while, even looking at that, to understand what you meant. I think I have fixed the problems with references to resources[1] inside those (damn) JNLP files. [1] I have never quite understood why a JNLP needs a reference back to itself! After all, if webstart is reading it, it obviously has an URL for the (accursed!) file. The only remaining mystery is why it was *not* either breaking for, or giving some message back to, me. But then I suppose that comes down to WebStart trying to be 'robust' for the end user, and hauling out an *earlier* *version* of the classes that worked!

I'll have to think about it. The best way to re-order the list would seem to be D'n'D. Not sure about the 'delete'. One way is to have a 'Delete (selected)' button on the GUI, though a 'right click menu' to allow delete might be quicker ...or to be able to 'drag' the entry over a 'bin/delete' area.. that might be *best*. BTW - Glad you noticed the NPE (had never occured to me to try it), and the lack of exit(). Both are fixed, ready for V 0.3 release.

Good point, but why have alternate copies, rather than simply link to the original JNLP?

You might bundle the JNLP in a zip along with source. It could get passed around and sit on the shelf a long time. As soon as anyone dusts it off though, they are right up to speed.

I believe WebStart actually keeps the JNLP file somewhere in a cache. Rather than associating those JNLP files with their original locations, Sun decided that you must actually embedded the original location in the JNLP file itself. - Oliver Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
