I'm having an issue with applets, namely the JRE 1.3.1_02 release. I'll be damned if I can find my way to Java list servs main page. Could I please bother someone to drop the URL to the list of interest groups? Or preferably the applet/plugin interest group?
I feel kinda stupid, but I searched the Sun site and came up with nothing better than the forums. **************************************************************************** ************ If you couldn't care less about applets, do not read the (largely off-topic) comment below. I got no reply to this on the Sun site forums, nor the Swing newsgroups. I'm getting a bit desparate, so please forgive me. I have no doubt that someone monitoring this site will have some insight. It involves a change in behavior between plugin JRE 1.3.1_01 and 1.3.1_02. I use servlets to feed my applets all the time, usually with XML, but anyway... I have a browser based application that involves 2 applets (in separate browser windows for user convenience). The two applets are tied via a singleton object and JavaBeans. One applet changes its state due to user activity (moving swing components) resulting in changes made to the singleton. The 2nd applet picks up changes to the singleton because it implements the PropertyChangeListener interface, and consequently changes its state. When I upgraded to plugin JRE 1.3.1_02 from 1.3.1_01, my application stopped working. After a bit of investigation, I discovered that the reason is because both applets instantiated separate "singleton" objects, a most unfortunate result! I have had to instruct my users to keep away from the 1.3.1_02 plugin until I find out what is going on. My singleton follows the design of Mark Grand's "Patterns in Java." Does anyone know if this behavior change was deliberate, or is it a bug in the 1.3.1_02 JRE? Will it be fixed in the upcoming JREs? Thanks for any insight, Dave ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
