How to prevent applet from InterruptedException when the page is refreshed

[sunny5055]

Hi Guys,

Is there a way we can prevent an applet from being interrupted when the user navigates away or refreshes the page ?

I am getting the below error whenever the user invokes the applet and navigates away or refreshes the frame.

My requirement is the make the applet complete it action before it is destroyed or stopped.
I am not sure if this problem is due to new java life cycle. I tried setting the legacy_lifetime=true and I got the same error or java.io.IOException when legacy_lifecycle=true

Life cycle of an applet.
If there are things that need to be tidied up then you can override stop() and handle those actions there.
You cannot prevent the applet from being stopped and then destroyed, because the applet is tied to the page. Anything that causes the page to be changed (and this includes reloading) will cause the applet to be unloaded.

Thanks for the reply. I already tried overridding the destroy and stop methods. But these methods are not called as i see from the java console debug logs.
So it never reaches the override method.

Then applet thread is interrupted before the applet stop is invoked.

Have you still got the legacy_lifecycle flag set?
If so then remove that.

[sunny5055]

Yes i have removed the flag since it didn't solve the issue. Currently my applet gets interrupted once the frame is unloaded.

[Tolls]

And it's a JRE6 it's running on?

If so, then I'm not sure what's happening.
stop() should be called.

Thanks for reply. Yes running on 1.6 u32.
