Andrei Pozolotin commented on PIVOT-743:
----------------------------------------

Greg:

re: "There is no "preferred" way to start Pivot applets." yes, you right, good 
point.

except on macosx they already "preferred" if for you: this applet: (with 
separate_jvm:true)
http://www.carrotgarden.com:8080/webstart-carrot-bug-pivot-applet-static-staging/index-applet-mac.jsp
does load new jvm instance on linux, but on mac you first need to go to control 
panel 
and change java plugin mode to what I call "V2 or next gen or jnlp mode"; 
(else no jdk 6_10 features are available, despite you have 6_24 or watever)

and you never want to ask your apple customers to do that, right? :-)

cheers!

Andrei

>             Project: Pivot
>          Issue Type: Improvement

> Greg, hello:
> 1) in this example you say:
> http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/list-buttons.html
> "Note that this example makes use of the global resource cache to store the 
> loaded images."
> 2) which reminds of the "java evil singleton pattern"
> http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/singletons/
> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/co-single/index.html
> http://beust.com/weblog/2011/03/10/rehabilitating-the-singleton-pattern/
> http://tech.puredanger.com/2007/07/03/pattern-hate-singleton/
> and the consensus seems to be: 
> "Singletons are fine as long as you don't implement them with static" 
> 3) and pivot uses them freely; few examples
> public abstract class ApplicationContext {
>     protected static ArrayList<Display> displays = new ArrayList<Display>();
>     protected static ArrayList<Application> applications = new 
> ArrayList<Application>();
>     private static HashMap<URI, Object> resourceCache = new HashMap<URI, 
> Object>();
>     private static ResourceCacheDictionary resourceCacheDictionary = new 
> ResourceCacheDictionary();
> public abstract class Theme {
>     private static Theme theme = null;
> 4) do you think is it feasible to convert all of pivot into SPI:
>               ServiceLoader<PivotFrameworkFactory> loader = 
> ServiceLoader.load(PivotFrameworkFactory.class);
>               PivotFrameworkFactory factory = loader.iterator().next();
>               Map<String, Object> config = new HashMap<String, Object>();
>               PivotFramework framework = factory.newFramework(config);
> 5) the two use cases that affect me now:
> a) applet reload shares static
> b) pivot + osgi (not sure yet if I can find a workaround; possibly depends on 
> what you do about PIVOT-742 PIVOT-22)
> thank you;
> Andrei
