I had the very same trouble with Netscape 2.0b2 on Solaris 2.4. Here's
what I found:
Specifying the moz2_0.car directory path is NOT good enough for Netscape
2.0b2. Your CLASSPATH must specify the full path of the file. AND it
needs to be the FIRST path in CLASSPATH. Like so:
- ---------
# NO GOOD:
setenv CLASSPATH /usr/joe/moz_dir:/usr/local/classes
# GOOD:
setenv CLASSPATH /usr/joe/moz_dir/moz2_0.car:/usr/local/classes
#NO GOOD:
setenv CLASSPATH /usr/local/classes:/usr/joe/moz_dir/moz2_0.car
- ---------
The bad news is, this is understandably bad for javac, which correctly
parses CLASSPATH for paths, not files. I've reported this as a bug
to Netscape.
Hope this helps, good luck,
steve.

Am I correct to assume that a Java standalone application developed under the pre-beta release of Java on Solaris 2.3 will run with NO PROBLEMS under Solaris 2.4?
Also how about taking that same pre-beta developed stadalone application and running it under the beta release?
Just checking!

I'm using the Beta JDK on a Solaris 2.5 machine; my CLASSPATH is set correctly,
and so is my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The libhello.so exists so there is no problem

I'm not even able to execute the Replace example due to a similar problem. Is

Subject: Object argument in action() for checkboxes
Hello:
I'm overriding the action() method in a Frame that has a Panel
with some Checkbox items that are part of a CheckboxGroup
as in:
p = new Panel();
cg = new CheckboxGroup();
mm = new Checkbox("Manual", cg, true);
ma = new Checkbox("Auto", cg, false);
p.add(mm);
p.add(ma);
In the action method for the Frame, I'm trying to detect the
selection of the checkbox items as in:
public boolean action(Event e, Object o) {
System.out.println("Event: " + e + " Object: " + o);
if (e.target instanceof Checkbox &&
("Manual".equals((String)o))) {
// ("Manual".equals(((Checkbox)(e.target)).getLabel()))) {
System.out.println("Manual checkbox selected");
}
}
The Object argument to this method is instantiated to a java.lang.Boolean
set to "true" instead of (as in the button object), the label for
the checkbox, i.e., "Manual". It produces a run time cast exception.
Here's the output of the first print:
Event: java.awt.Event[id=1001,x=118,y=50,target=java.awt.Checkbox[0,20,66x20,label=Auto,state=true],arg=true] Object: true
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Boolean
...
The second option (commented above) works. I was wondering if this is an
error.

I already have some applications with Netscape/CGI combination. I am
planning to incorporate Java applets for certain applications which
cannot be done otherwise. One problem I am facing is to access
the database (an OODB), which has a C++ interface. The current
implementations talk to CGI scripts to access the database. To keep this
uniform, I would like to use the same mechanism for Java applets also, ie to
talk to some CGI scripts which will return the required query results etc,
so that I need not have to change that portion of the existing application.
The requirement is how do I use the applet to run a program
whether in C, Perl or Tcl on the server side and get the results back ?
It will be nice if some way I could tell the server to run a CGI script.

That should work (in theory), although there have been a few very minor
API fixes. You can verify whether any of these changes affect your
code by recompiling with the beta environment.

Set your class path to the location of your classes.
i.e. setenv CLASSPATH /.../classes
Also make sure your read path is set:
setenv HOTJAVA_READ_PATH /.../hotjava:/.../jdk
Try that out!

You can verify that the library was successfully loaded (you *are*
calling System.loadLibrary() in a static initializer, aren't you?) with
truss. Something like:
% truss -f -t open -s\!all java <java app and args> |& tee open.log
should show you what attempts Java is making on loading your library.
The open.log file will then show all open attempts, the paths used and
whether the call was successful or not.

I've been trying to play audio clips in a standalone Java application
with little success. It seems the only possible way to do this without
using anything in the sun.* tree would be to import java.applet.* and
then do something like:
play(new URL("http://site.com/soundfile.au"));
or
AudioClip clip = new AudioClip;
clip = getAudioClip(new URL("http://site.com/soundfile.au"));
clip.play();
Neither of these work, I get errors that Java cannot find getAudioClip()
and play(). How might I go about doing this? Thanks.

I guess you use JDK-prebeta or JDK-beta to compile your source code.
"hotjava" does't support applets created by JDK-prebeta or later version.
You can see the applet by appletviewer which comes with JDK-(pre)beta.
If you compile your source code with "javac" comannd which comes with
hotjava, (I think) you can run it on hotjava.

Here is a simple chunk of code that does not

}
}
class Protect {
public static void main(String args[])

}
This code compiles and prints out the name of the

let me do this. name is a protected variable. protected should
mean that inaccesible except to subclasses.
Any ideas or is this a bug?

I would also agree that it can be called a class definition; however,
since no storage space is reserved for this it goes against the
ANSI C definition.
I only care which one is chosen so that we can nail down the
working definitions for declaration versus definition.
I think it currently is:
declaration: Only an announcement to the compiler of an identifier to be
reserved in the current name space. In ANSI C, accomplished with the
extern keyword. For functions accomplished by omitting the function body.
For structures and classes accomplished with type identifier and no body.
definition: An announcement to the compiler of an identifier to be
reserved in the current name space. For primitive types, accompanied
with a reservation of storage space. For user-defined types,
accomplished by specifying the structure or class body. For functions
accomplished by specifying the function body.
How does this sound?
Do any language lawyers disagree?
I am just tired of seeing these terms used interchangeably. They
should have distinct meanings.

I certainly agree with the comment above. It would greatly decrease
development time and provide a `one-stop interface` without having to cope
with ten different operating systems. As a matter of fact, the foremost
*promise* of Java is to run independently on all supported platforms; it is
therefore almost mandatory to provide a generic class like the one
suggested above. I'm actually surprised to hear that it hasn't yet been
implemented yet.
Okay now, who is volunteering? ;)

It may go against the ANSI C definition in some ways; I'm no language lawyer.
However, it does reserve storage for the class in the sense that it
reserves all the storage which is the implementation of the
methods for the class, plus all static members of the class.
Said another way, it reserves storage for all aspects of a class which
do not require additional storage allocation when an object of the class
is instantiated.

If I read the above correctly, the following is a declaration of Foo,
not a definition:
public static void main ( String argv[] ) {
MyClass foo;
}
But it seems to me this is a definition.
Also, abstract methods cannot have a body (unfortunately; should be may not)
As I understand the current syntax and semantics,
it seems to me that a declaration is:
An announcement to the compiler of an identifier to be reserved
in the current name space, with no storage allocation.
and a definition is:
An announcement to the compiler of an identifier to be reserved
in the current name space, together with the reservation of
storage for the identifier.
If we remember to take into account the difference between a class, and
an instance of a class, the above is all consistent. In a class definition,
the storage is allocated for the class itself -- the stuff which implements
the class; not an instance of the class.
A class, in java, is never just declared. It is declared
and defined in one operation. The definition amounts to allocating
storage for all aspects of the class which do not require additional
storage allocation when an object of the class is instantiated.
A class instantiation, such as the "MyClass foo;" above, is a
definition, as it reserves the storage associated with the instance.
An interface, in java, is always declared, but never defined,
since the definition of an interface is dependent on the class
which implements the interface; a definition for an interface
effectively occurs in the context of a class which implements
the interface.
Does this make sense?
And please remember I'm no expert on this -- Arthur or somebody else
should pass judgement on any statements like the ones I made above.

On the subject of dev. tools etc. for Java there is a Java mode for Emacs
It is far from complete (it has been cut up from the C++ mode) but to those of
you who use emacs it is a good start, it has font-lock (syntax hilites) and
other stuff. I got it from my local sunsite (imperial college London) in the
/pub/java/contrib/emacs/ directory
Other mirrors will also have it I guess.
NOTE: Xemacs users.
I cannot get it to work with xemacs my guess is that the default mode that the
java mode inherits from (c++) is not the same lisp package under emacs as it is
under xemacs. I may try to fix this, I'll let you know if I do.
