Java applet not visible in Chrome
I'm running into some kind race condition in a Java applet, peculiar to Google Chrome (win xp).
I'm writing the <applet>
tag into a popup window.
The problem is characterised by:
- The applet always shows fine in MS IE and Firefox.
- In Chrome The applet only displays about 50% of the time.
- When it doesn't display, the applet actually appears to be silently running perfectly from the Java console! No errors!
- The
JApplet
'sinit()
andstart()
methods are always called. isShowing()
andisDisplayable()
always returntrue
, even when the applet does not show.- When it doesn't show, the
paint()
method isn't called. - When the applet doesn't show, a tra开发者_如何学Cnsparent rectangular area (of the window background colour) where the applet should have been can be noticed when the text in the window is selected. From this I take it that the applet region is correctly placed in the window.
My code:
MyApplet.java
package mypackage;
public class MyApplet extends JApplet {
public void init(){
super.init();
getContentPane().add(new JLabel("Hello"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
System.out.println("init ok");
}
public void start() {
super.start();
System.out.println("s parent:"+this.getParent());
System.out.println("s disp:"+this.isDisplayable());
System.out.println("s showing:"+this.isShowing());
}
public void paint(Graphics g){
System.out.println("painting");
super.paint(g);
}
}
test.html
<HTML>
<SCRIPT language='JavaScript'>
var jarpath='./myjar.jar';
var classname='mypackage.MyApplet';
function opentest(){
applet=window.open('', '', "height=420,width=620");
applet.document.write(
'<html><body>'+
'<OBJECT classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"'+
'width=600 height=400>'+
'<param name=code value="'+classname+'">'+
'<param name=archive value="'+jarpath+'">'+
'<param name=type value="application/x-java-applet;version1.3">'+
'<COMMENT>'+
'<EMBED code="'+classname+'" archive="'+jarpath+'" ' +
'type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3" ' +
'width=600 height=400 ' +
'>'+
'<NOEMBED>' +
'unavailable'+
'</NOEMBED>'+
'</EMBED>' +
'</COMMENT>' +
'</OBJECT>'+
'</body></html>' );
}
</SCRIPT>
<BODY>
Click here to open <A onclick="opentest()">Test</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Output from console
50% of the time I click on 'Test', the new window contains the 'Hello' label. The other 50% of the time, the window is blank as described. The console output seems identical when the applet loads and doesn't load. It seems blameless!

Update
Thanks to Ates, trying the following timeout makes the Applet appear correctly 100% of the time.
function opentest(){
applet=window.open('', '', "height=420,width=620");
setTimeout(function () {
applet.document.write( ... ); } ,
1000 );
}
- As Ates mentions, we now see that our popup window doesn't like immediate
document.write
s! - Is this correct behaviour? Am I supposed to wait for some signal before writing to a document?
- Should I be going about this a different way? Can I add some kind of listener to know when it is safe to call
document.write()
?
applet = window.open('', '', "height=420,width=620");
applet.document.write(...
This could be where your race condition starts. You may be trying to change the document of the newly opened window without the window being properly initialized. A quick thing to try is to let the currently running JavaScript thread "breathe", by deferring the rest of the code to a dummy timeout that will run asynchronously:
applet = window.open('', '', "height=420,width=620");
setTimeout(function () {
applet.document.write(...
}, 0);
This is not necessarily the best way to resolve this issue, but it is a quick thing to try to see if this is in fact the source of the race condition.
I have had some issues with ad blockers blocking my Applets from being visible on occasion. Though it working 50/50 seems odd.
