applet to applet communication: classcastexception

**tsb** · 05-27-2011, 10:31 PM

Hi,
I get the class cast exception when I attempt to do inter applet communication. Please see the attached code.

Java Code:

Applet1_0022
import java.awt.*;
public class Applet1_0022 extends java.applet.Applet {
  TextField inputText;
  Button    b;

  public void init() {
    setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    inputText = new TextField( "", 15 );
    b = new Button("Send to Applet 2");
    add(inputText);
    add(b);
  }

  // JDK 1.02 style evant handling
  public boolean action(Event ev, Object arg) {
    if (ev.target instanceof Button) {
       String textMsg = inputText.getText().trim();
       Applet2_0022 applet2 =
         (Applet2_0022)getAppletContext().getApplet("applet2");
       if ( applet2 != null ) {
          applet2.append( textMsg );
          return true;
       }
       else {
          System.out.println("Applet2 not found?");
          return false;
       }
     }
     return false;
  }
}

Applet2_0022
import java.awt.*;

public class Applet2_0022 extends java.applet.Applet {
  TextArea textBox;

  public void init() {
    setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    textBox = new TextArea( 5, 40 );
    add( textBox );
  }

  public void append( String msg ) {
    textBox.append( msg );
    textBox.append( "\n" );
  }
}

the associated html file.:

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<APPLET CODE="Applet1_0022.class"
        NAME="applet1"
        HEIGHT=200 WIDTH=150>
</APPLET>
<APPLET CODE="Applet2_0022.class"
        NAME="applet2"
        HEIGHT=200 WIDTH=400>
</APPLET>
</BODY></HEAD>

Now the above code runs fine but if I add a jar file for applet1 containing the class file applet1_0022.class it gives a classcastexception.Could someone help me with this.

Please copy and paste here the full text of the error message.

Also add some printlns to show the values of variables that are being cast

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.lang.ClassCastException: Applet2_0022 cannot be cast to Applet2_0022

It works for me.
What else is going on?
What OS, browser and version of JSK?

**tsb** · 05-31-2011, 08:34 PM

did you add the archive file of the first applet to the html file?

**Norm** · 05-31-2011, 09:03 PM

Here is the HTML I used:

PHP Code:

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<APPLET CODE="Applet1_0022" 
        NAME="applet1"
        HEIGHT=200 WIDTH=150>
</APPLET>
<APPLET CODE="Applet2_0022" 
        NAME="applet2"
        HEIGHT=200 WIDTH=400>
</APPLET>
</BODY></HEAD>

**tsb** · 05-31-2011, 09:06 PM

i am also able to run it error free if I do not have the first applet in a jar file. I need this because I have to scale up the code and the first applet contains lot of classes which would be in a jar file. That is when the error/classcastexception occurs.

try with this HTML:

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<APPLET CODE="Applet1_0022"
ARCHIVE="applet.jar"
NAME="applet1"
HEIGHT=200 WIDTH=150>
</APPLET>
<APPLET CODE="Applet2_0022"
NAME="applet2"
HEIGHT=200 WIDTH=400>
</APPLET>
</BODY></HEAD>

**Norm** · 05-31-2011, 09:16 PM

What happens with both applets in the jar file?

**tsb** · 05-31-2011, 09:18 PM

i get the same error

**Norm** · 05-31-2011, 09:26 PM

It worked with both the class files in the jar file with this HTML:

PHP Code:

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
<APPLET CODE="Applet1_0022" archive=TestApplets.jar
        NAME="applet1"
        HEIGHT=200 WIDTH=150>
</APPLET>
<APPLET CODE="Applet2_0022" archive=TestApplets.jar
        NAME="applet2"
        HEIGHT=200 WIDTH=400>
</APPLET>
</BODY></HEAD>

There were NO .class files in the folder with the html file and the jar file.

sir....how can i connect jframe with oracle database.......
my code is like this....
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MasterFrame extends JFrame {

final static String[] labelStr = {"Just a test", "Dummy label", "to fill", "the form"};

// this the master frame... we just fill it with labels an button to show how it works
MasterFrame() {
super("MasterFrame");

// build a dummy panel with dummy labels just to fill the GUI
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(labelStr.length, 2));
for(int i = 0; i < labelStr.length; i++) {
panel.add(new JLabel(labelStr[i]));
panel.add(new JButton("Button " + i));
}
add(panel);
setSize(400, 200);
// create and show the Login form
new Login(this);
}

// to test the whole thing
public static void main(String[] args) {
new MasterFrame();
}

class Login extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
final JButton submitBtn;
final JPanel panel;
final JLabel usernameLabel, passwordLabel;
final JTextField usernameField;
final JPasswordField passwordField;

JFrame father;

Login(JFrame masterForm)
{
super("Login form");
father = masterForm;
usernameLabel = new JLabel("Username:");
usernameField = new JTextField(15);

passwordLabel = new JLabel("Password:");
passwordField = new JPasswordField(15);

submitBtn =new JButton("LOGIN");
submitBtn.addActionListener(this);

panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(4,6));
panel.add(usernameLabel);
panel.add(usernameField);
panel.add(passwordLabel);
panel.add(passwordField);
panel.add(submitBtn);
// to fill the GridLayout
panel.add(new JLabel(""));
add(panel,BorderLayout.CENTER);

setTitle("LOGIN FORM");
setSize(300,100);
setVisible(true);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ee)
{
// validate here the username from usernameField.getText()
// and the password form passwordField.getPassword();
// ususally that would be done from a database but here
// (for testing purpose) we will hardcode the value
// username must be "abc" password "xyz"

if(usernameField.getText().equals("abc")) {
// getPassword returns an array of char[] we have to make it a String
if(new String(passwordField.getPassword()).equals("xyz")) {
this.setVisible(false); // hide myself
father.setVisible(true); // show my father
this.dispose(); // clean my resource
return;
}
}
// send an option pane that does not match
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Sorry wrong Username Password\n Try again");

}
}
}

please help......m in a trouble.......
