loading java applets

Post by bgo »

How can you speed up the loading of java applets in Firebird? Everything works, it just takes forever for them to come up.

Would appreciate some info.
Thanks a lot

What is your Sun Java version?
If you are using 1.4.0 or 1. 3 or older, try latest 1.4.2_03.
Startup time was improved from almost forever to affordable (drastic improvement! :D ) when minor update of 1.4.1 in my environment(Win-Me,Cerelon 500MHz).

Am using the 1.4.2_o2 version, Win 98SE, pentium III 700 MHZ.
Maybe what I have is as good as it gets.

Thanks for the response

Anyone know how to use this with firebird? I tried downloading the one from sun and the one from netscape but yet it still the "get java plugin" splash display.

NVM, that reg fix seemed to have fixed it!

Main part of long Java Applet start-up time is "Java Virtual Machine(JVM) initialization" time.

MS Windows always does "Microsoft VM initialization" as boot-up process for IE(=OS component :D ) and "Almost forever freeze" is hidden in long boot-up time.
This is the magic of "IE does not have Java startup time problem" if IE setting for Java is "Use Microsoft VM".

If you use Mozilla, "JVM Initialization" of Sun Java can be kicked by (A) First applet start, or (B) Starting Java Console through "Tools/Java Console" menu.
Unfortunately, Firebird does not have "Tools/Java Console" menu.
There is no choice other than (A) in current Firebird/Sun Java.

Try next.
(1) Set Java Applet page as "Home Page"
(2) Start Firebird
(3) See Java applet page

Please note that you have to torelate "almost forever freeze" in step (2) in return for short wait in step (3).
