I can get a JOGL applet up and running on IE or Mozilla but if I ever try to refresh the browser the canvas never gets redrawn. It will restart fine in the applet viewer in netbeans. Anybody have any ideas or can point me to a working JOGL applet that can be refreshed correctly?
Thanks for any help.
Does the JOGL applet test linked from the jogl-demos page work properly?
In general I can’t recommend you deploy with applets. There are too many issues on too many platforms that are not in JOGL’s domain. I would strongly suggest you consider deploying with Java Web Start instead.
The last time i checked the jogl-demos page did not work?
Will jogl and applet ever be compatible?
Thanks
I figured out how to get the refresh to work. By the way I’m not using the animator. I only want the redraw when the screen actually changes. Used a canvas.removeNotify(); in the stop() function of the applet.
The jogl-demos applet test is working fine for me (on Solaris/SPARC). If you are seeing problems with it please indicate what platform, graphics card, and Java version you’re using. Keep in mind that installing JOGL into jre/lib/ext in your JRE may cause problems for both Java Web Started JOGL applications as well as JOGL applets.
Windows XP, Nvidia 5200 128mb,Internet Explorer, Java Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
I did install jogl to jre/lib/ext so that is probably what is wrong.
Where are you supposed to install jogl to?
You’re actually not supposed to install it in the JRE. Ideally you would put the jogl.jar and the jogl DLLs into a separate directory and set up CLASSPATH and PATH to point to them. That will enable Java Web Start and the JOGL applet launcher to work properly as well as let you develop on your local machine. See the JOGL User’s Guide.
