Need help getting Xith3D and JOGLAppletLauncer to cooperate

sialivi · April 19, 2006, 9:47am

Hi everyone.

I lost my Java3D, Xith3D and JOGL virginity just 2 days ago so I’m still pretty mystified and I’m definitly still having a hard time keeping apart what concepts actually belongs to Xith3D and what belongs to JOGL. So a big newbie warning is in order.

I put together a little application based on the AseTest, pretty much only changing a few settings and replacing the tank with a .3DS model. This worked just fine and I was very impressed with the whole experience.

But now the problems begin. I’m trying to turn it into an applet. So I got ahold of the JOGLAppletLauncher which as I understand it belongs to a newer version of JOGL referred to as JSR231. It successfully deals with the native jogl files but once it starts my applet, it starts to complain. On this line to be exact:

CanvasPeer cp = rp.makeCanvas(panel, 450, 500, 32, false);

I tried to follow a JSR231 tutorial which created a JOGL applet which used the GLCanvas and everything worked just fine. But I’m having no luck combining the success of the 2; making my Xith3D applet use the newer JOGL and launch using the JOGLAppletLauncher.

I’m really at a loss right now, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

And one more thing; Will future Xith3D releases, once it’s switched over to JSR231, include the JOGLAppletLauncher?

Updated to Xith3D 0.7 but the problem remain…

I haven’t checked the latest xith builds, but you seem to use the wrong peer implementation : the package should be com.xith3d.render.jsr231 (at least it’s what I have here).

sialivi · April 22, 2006, 1:15pm

Thanks for the help Lilian,
I must be missing some JAR in my project though, cause now I’m getting a new exception on the same line.

Yes indeed. You don’t have jogl.jar in your classpath.
Please download the JSR-231 here : https://jogl.dev.java.net/

sialivi · April 22, 2006, 3:09pm

Ok, I’m confused…

I do have JOGL in my classpath, the one that’s included in the third-party distribution. Hasn’t that been updated to include the JSR231 version as of Xith3D 0.7?

eMKa · April 22, 2006, 3:18pm

Ahem… I’m afraid it wasn’t.
That’s my fault. That will be fixed in Xith 0.7.1

sialivi · April 22, 2006, 3:19pm

Ah, thanks for clearing that up

eMKa · April 22, 2006, 3:26pm

I’ve now made Release notes : http://www.java-gaming.org/forums/index.php?topic=13405.0 where I explicit clearly you need to download the JSR-231.

Thanks for pointing that out, sialivi !

sialivi · April 22, 2006, 4:02pm

You almost make it sound like I know what I’m doing

On to my next problem. This only appear with my Xith3D applet, my non-Xith3D jogl applet doesn’t seem to have this problem with accessing user.home

That was when running it from a browser. Running it from the appletviewer on the other hand gives me something completly different:

c_lilian · April 22, 2006, 4:58pm

There are security issues you have to think about when using joglappletlauncher : the jogl.jar and its natives are signed with sun’s trusted certificate, meaning they can do whatever they want on the client side (like creating their own cache for libraries).

usually, your own jar files won’t be signed (so the user won’t have to accept your usually self signed (untrusted) jars) and you have to take it into account (accessing user.home and many other system properties is forbidden). other limited accesses are file io, network connections with other computers (except the one used for downloading the jar files)…

If you really need to access these secured features, then you’ll have to sign your jars (at the risk of scaring the player away).

Hope it helps !

Lilian

sialivi · April 22, 2006, 5:34pm

But I’m not using any security features. The only security related thing is using the JOGLAppletLauncher to install the native libs, but that’s not my code, and the JOGLAppletLauncher worked just fine when I used it to launch a non-xith3d jogl applet. I don’t see what’s different now.

c_lilian · April 22, 2006, 8:15pm

then you must be using an unsigned version of jogl.jar (only official releases are signed, not nightly builds)

Lilian

sialivi · April 22, 2006, 8:25pm

Aaaah, you’re right. This is a nightly. Thanks alot

My fault : i forgot to declare this bug : in my codebase, i’ve surrounded the System.getProperty(…) by a try/catch to ignore it.

(This should be added in the official xith build)

Lilian

sialivi · April 23, 2006, 7:10pm

Guess I’ll have to grab the source and do that as well then. Which file is that in?

eMKa · April 24, 2006, 12:58pm

@sialivi : have you fixed your GLException ? I saw TheFieryShadow has the same bug and I don’t know where it comes from.

Hmm… It doesn’t affect the behavior of others renderers ? If yes, I can add it.
