108363 - Java applet works - but is incomplete

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[dominik.tappe]

The java plugin does not display all the product categories  that it should,
only the first 11.
I'm using java 1.3.1_01 (Sun), and the applet works fine with Opera and the same
Java VM.There are tons of parameters passed to the applet (all the products the
shop is selling), and it looks like Mozilla has a (too small) limit on how many
java-applet-parameters it can handle - perhaps a fixed buffer size.

Attachment: Applet source and test HTML file

Simple test case - attempts to read 100 longish parameters from HTML.  Usually
starts to fail after 4 or 5 parameters are successfuly read, then the rest are
null.

This bug can be demonstrated in various applets.

Check http://www.sar-dog.org.nz/

It is also a problem on Win95 and Linux.

If you reload the frame often enough, eventually you will get everything.

This happens because mozilla starts applet before the whole

<applet> content has parsed (it triggers reflow after is sees

opening tag and this reflow causes applet initialization).

To fix this, we need to defer reflow until <applet> is fully

parsed


(Platform -> All, OS -> All)

per Denis comment changing Platform/OS to All/All

Comment 9

Attachment: suggested fix

[Denis Antrushin]

This bug probably should go to another category (layout?)

Comment 11

[Igor Nekrestyanov]

peter: could you please review proposed 2-line patch?

In fact this problem is not specific for java plugin and 
  defer initialization of plugin untill all its parameters 
  are parsed (for example this may be the case of flash too!).
