Applet trouble - long pause due to download??

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

Hi,

I’ve had a niggly problem where my applet demo stalls for ages before displaying anything.

Here it is: http://www.keithwoodward.com/straightedge/index.html

I think I’ve figured out the problem- the applet stalls while it tries to download something, because

  1. When I pull out the network cable just after it begins to stall the applet just stays frozen forever.
  2. It only affects the applet version of the demo not the (http://www.keithwoodward.com/straightedge/straightedge.jnlp) webstart version
  3. When using appletviewer on my computer’s local version of the applet then there is no pause, it only occurs when the applet is hosted from my website.
  4. Running the applet using appletviewer.exe with the -Xprof option on the web-hosted applet shows that a lot of time is spent in the method java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0 in the thread which runs the code that stalls. The place where the code stalls is just before the constructor of my game’s View object. Using System.out.println I know that the stall occurs before the constructor is actually executed, and before the class is fully loaded (static{System.out.println();} is printed after the stall has ended and the applet continues).

I’ve got a feeling that the applet is trying to download the jts-1.11.jar when the classloader tries to load the View class, since the View class references code that requires the jts-1.11.jar file, and so the applet pauses while that jar is being downloaded. But this is just a guess :-\

So my question is, why is the applet trying to download stuff halfway thru execution? I thought eager downloading was the default and lazy downloading had to be specified?

Here’s my applet html code:


<applet code="straightedge.test.demo.AppletImpl.class"
        archive="straightedge.jar, jts-1.11.jar"
        width="500" height="500"
        align="center"
        alt="StraightEdge demo applet"> 
</applet>

And the huge -Xprof output from appletviewer. The last lines printed to the console when the stall occurs are 1/4 way down at:
MainApplet: init
: start 0
: start 1
: start .1
: start .2
: start .3.

try putting a in the applet tag.

#3

Thanks! that sounds like exactly the reason why it’s going wrong. You must have wrestled with all this stuff before when making that nifty lwjgl applet installer.

For anyone interested here’s the ‘special parameter’ guide: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/plugin/developer_guide/special_attributes.html

I can’t check if it works yet because even though I added the applet parameter to the html file the stupid browser keeps showing the old version for some reason, even after I cleared the browser cache… grrh! wish I knew how to force it to update… ???

#4

You’ll have to go to the java control panel and clear the cache from there (also restart browser).

The LWJGL AppletLoader took a ton of ppl to do an amazing amount of wrestling, time and hacking at the internals of the java plugin to get just right, but yeh its turned out pretty cool (its basically a mini-plugin now on top the java one). It’ll be even better in the upcoming LWJGL 2.7 release :).

#5

Still doesn’t work, even when I go to a different computer it shows the same old page, I can tell since ‘view source’ shows the old applet tag parameters… but all the computers here use the same university internet connection so maybe that’s the problem. It seems to update after a day or two so I’ll wait.

The lwjgl applet plugin is awesome. I’ve been looking at the options you guys implemented for it to try and figure out how to get rid of the crappy java default settings for applets. It’s unbelievable how hard applets are to deploy and customise. kudos to all of you for making it work. And also for keeping it fully customisable without forcing lwjgl logos down everyone’s throats, unlike the way java logos tend to spattered everywhere without a choice.

#6

The uni proxy probably cached it, if it’s a php page you can add some no cache and always revalidate headers to it.

#7

I have had a similar problem. I found out that the applet loaded fine from one place, <10sec the first time and then ~3sec thereafter. When I deployed it where it needed to be, it took >30sec always! It looked like it was trying to fetch stuff from the server all the time, that existed in a jar that I think already was downloaded. The “codebase_lookup” helped a bit but not much. After spending way too much time on this problem I finally found the solution for my problem and it was called jar indexing.

See http://wiki.games4j.com/wiki/en/Applet (Slow loading applets)

Not sure if your problem will be fixed with this, but it is easy enough to test. It also seems like this can be used to lazy load stuff! Does anyone have experience with this?

#8

Ah now that sounds like my problem exactly! I’ll give it a shot and report back.

Cheers for all the pointers guys 8)

#9

nice informations,

jar indexing aswell as the lookup code base flag should maybe put in the wiki or in the best practice of deploying Applet (I remember seeing this one somewhere in JGO but cant remember where ?)

ps : this flag is also nice to avoid flickering of Applet

<PARAM name="java_arguments" value="-Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true">
#10

crank up the debug level in your java console, you’ll see the sequence and timing of downloads.

segment your applet into an “immediate” part and a “later” part, and load the “later” part
in a separate thread while the “immediate” part keeps the user entertained. It’s a little
tricky because you have to make sure the “later” part is only referred to through interfaces,
so it’s not required to be loaded until actually instantiate it. At boardspace.net, the
lobby is “immdiate” and each game is “later”. A game doesn’t start loading until you
begin the process of launching it.

be sure to index and manifest your .jar files, and be warned that the mechanism is fragile - it’s
easy to screw up your manifest which forces java to fall back to loading the classes one at
a time.

+1

you can also completly load an Applet B using an Applet A as this Applet Booter do

the second Applet (and its jars) are loaded & started after the first Applet have started

#12

Thanks ddyer for the debug tip - I turned the debug level up to 5 in the java console and saw exactly what the problem was 8)

Turns out there were 2 problems, one my fault and the other is a weird applet quirk.

First problem was that the applet was looking for the jts-1.11.jar in the “/lib” directory, but I put the jts-1.11.jar in the same directory as the straightedge.jar. For some reason this works fine with webstart, but not very well for applets. I think the applet looked for the jts-1.11.jar in the lib sub-dir since the straightedge.jar file’s manifest had a line in it that must have been added by NetBeans IDE saying “Class-Path: lib/jts-1.11.jar”. When it couldn’t find it there it then downloaded the jts-1.11.jar from where I put it in the same directory as the straightedge.jar, as given in the archive tag (archive=“straightedge.jar, jts-1.11.jar”).

So I made a new “lib” directory and put the jts-1.11.jar in there. But this didn’t solve the stalling problem! Now there was less error output in the java console debug output, and it still stalled at the same place to download the jts-1.11.jar. The applet seemed to just download the straightedge.jar file, found that it had the Applet launch class (code=“straightedge.test.demo.AppletImpl.class”), then closed the java loading logo and fired up the program, but then it found out it needed the jts-1.11.jar so it would try to download it while stalling my program. For some reason the jars I listed in the archive tag straightedge.jar and jts-1.11.jar weren’t both being downloaded at the beginning, only the first one was.

So then I switched the order of the jars as they’re listed in the archive tag. Instead of archive=“straightedge.jar, lib/jts-1.11.jar” I changed it to archive=“lib/jts-1.11.jar, straightedge.jar”. Now it seems to work fine with no stall. Yay!

From now on I’ll make sure:

  1. I put the lib jars in the lib sub-directory
  2. I list the archive jars so that the jar which contains the Applet class comes last

Point 2 seems pretty dumb to me, it’s strange that the applet doesn’t download all archives straight away ??? I didn’t mark any of them to be lazily downloaded and the default behaviour is meant to be that they’re eagerly downloaded.

For anyone interested here’s my applet console debug output, after making change 1, but before and after change 2:

Output with the straightedge jar coming first in the archive tag, which stalls to download the jts.jar during program operation:

By the way thanks everyone for your help, much appreciated 8) Saved me so much hassle and time :slight_smile:

If I see any more performance trouble I’ll add jar-indexing and try those additional applet parameters, but right now it seems to work fine, well at least on this computer. Here’s my html applet tag for anyone interested:

<applet code="straightedge.test.demo.AppletImpl.class"
        archive="lib/jts-1.11.jar, straightedge.jar"
        width="500" height="500"
        align="center"
        alt="StraightEdge demo applet"> 
</applet>
