Okay I can't get Java to actually WORK

I made a new application, set it to Java Stand-alone internet applet and put in a backdrop.

When I run it I get this error

Now I looked at the compatiable extension list, and it says that Java should be able to handle a backdrop so what the hell am I doing wrong here >:V

Okay so I fixed it by compiling it in HWA instead of the newest standard build


...what the hell

But hey guess what the java beta is so awesome it works locally but not on my webhost (which works perfectly fine with aynthing else)

Again, the error is

ClickTeam make your betas useful so that you can actually use them

I am unsure what your doing wrong as it seems to be working for others. I think we would need more information and would need to know what your selecting as your build before uploading it to your host. There are 3 different Java things to choose from.


Are you uploading an applet or something else?

Edit - If its a stand alone Java application I think you need to select Applet -- Trying to decipher your posts about whats wrong.

as I said in my first post, it's a stand-alone java internet applet. I'm using the provided HTML, even.

Hmm I don't know what your doing wrong.

I just thru one up on my cheap powweb site and it seems to work fine. Just a backdrop object

http://www.flyin.com/java_test/test.htm

Have you updated to build 248?

If you could put up some links to your test page maybe the error message would help track it down. (Rather then just reading the error message you posted)

Yes I'm using the latest build, along with HWA.

MFA here:
http://mechaware.net/index.mfa

When I upload it it goes like this:
http://mechaware.net/

I don't get an error message when I visit your page.

Do you get the same error when you visit my page?

Note - I am not using the HWA beta but that shouldn't make any effect on this.

No I don't.

But does my java applet show up on my page? It should be a blue background

Yes I see it perfectly fine no errors.

Really? Because I had other guys look at it too and they all had errors.

What version of Java do you have on your computer?

Yes I swear it works fine I could video capture me going to the page if you don't believe me.

Version 6 update 7 (build 1.6.0_07-b06)

and this is what it appears for me and everyone else
http://mechaware.net/fightnight.png

I dunno it could be a language issue considering it refers to "java.lang" but then again I know nothing about java

I have version 6 build 10 running under Vista

I just went there with IE, Firefox, and Chrome and got the blue background -- Very odd. I will jump over to my XP machine to see if I can see an error.

Is there anyone else who can go to http://mechaware.net/ and report if they get an error or not?

Works fine for me:

Java Plug-in 1.6.0_03
Using JRE version 1.6.0_03 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

Which is a slightly older version. I'll see what happens when I upgrade.

wait it works now, I deleted the catche.

I even figure out what's wrong! I made a java application that scaled an image to 0.01, and it just gave me the white screen. Then when I removed that event and ran the application again it would still be white, but removing the catche fixes this.

What I'm saying is if you do something java doesn't like once, it'll stop working until you clear your catche.

Which is why it explains it didn't work for the other people either, because I showed them the 0.01 scale version aswell.

Whew thats good news I suppose :)

I was just about to beat my head into the desk since your page got the error and the page I made didn't ... it didn't make sense.

Yeah but it's kinda not-cool that if one application makes an error every other application stops working


and when will you fix that you can't overwrite .tar files you've run until a long time after

Okay now it's not working again, and the catche doesn't seem to fix it. And I didn't even change a thing (and I have no scaling).

help

also this time it seems to eat alot of CPU, almost crashing my Firefox

I don't think Clickteam can do anything about the cache its not really under our control its the Java itself on your computer - Perhaps you need to reboot?

I suspect the problem is Java has run out of memory...

Edit: Can you attach the MFA that is causing this problem?

Hmm is it possible a thread is stuck in Java running in the background?

but I don't get why exactly

I mean, I did nothing wrong.
But hey you guys should test it out for yourself
here's the mfa
I added a few things but that shouldn't cause anything.

I dunno about the thread thing, but I will try and reboot as suggested.

Its a beta perhaps you are using an object/condition/action that has a problem without the exact file that can reproduce the error its hard to look into.

I included it above

Hey guess what

I reboot and it work perfectly
this thing is screwed up :V

Works OK for me so I don't know what the issue is...

(Ahh, why didn't I suggest 'have you tried switching it off then on again'? It works a surprising number of times ;)

Another Idea:

If its a cache problem -- if you give your new file a new name does it work?

I uploaded it on my server http://www.flyin.com/java_test/homepage.htm
And its working here for me.

okay I think I somewhat got the issue here

1) I resize my image and java stops working
2) java keeps eating memeory until I reboot
3) I reboot, java works again until I resize

However, it only stops working when I resize to 0.01 or lower.
So yeah it works now, but jesus I had a hell of a time figuring this out :V

Alright, I'm about to throw my java beta out of the window >:V

I keep getting the NullPointerException error at random times, and once it appears, it won't go away. Sometimes a reboot work, sometimes a catche-cleaning work, and sometimes, nothing seems to help it. I tried to remove everything in my application, events, active objects, everything, and it still gets me the errors.
And sometimes (not always) it works switching to HWA, and sometimes back to standard.

tl;dr: java beta is buggy like hell

Perhaps you should try re-installing Java?
That might work...

The link to your mfa does not work. Can you post it back, I need to see the application.
Remember it is a beta. So it has bugs. A lot of people had no problems at all with the Java beta, and they did not say that it was buggy like hell.
Send me you mfa, and I will be able to debug!

Do you have the latest version of Java installed?

Yes I do, as stated about my version is 6 update 7 (build 1.6.0_07-b06) which is the latest.

I've send the file to Francois so that he can have a look at it

It works okay for me at college - an XP system using IE6.

I obviously only kept the working one up

Are you using MSIE for a browser?

If so go to tools, internet options, and go to the history settings button. There you will find a setting that asks if you want it to look at the code every visit to the page. By default it is set to Auto and that can give bad results in some cases. By setting it to every visit to the page it will then pull new data every time you visit. On broadband you will never know you changed it.


This may help the cache issues...
Hope it helps.

Later,
K

No I'm using Firefox like a said a few posts above.

Ah so you did, I see it now, good luck with that issue bud!

it works ok for me windows xp pro + internet explorer 7.
Display is a bit glitchy, though...or maybe that's the way it's supposed to be.
