Feedback on Java applet functionality?

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

I was expecting to some comments on whether this feature works well in 
Fedora Core 6 test 2 and the current development tree. Anyone tried it 
out with the applets in the wild?

As the very first thing after it was announced my good man.

www.infidelguy.com/chatroom.html has a java applet for using IRC and
that works without a single flaw. I am very impressed.

You mean this CGI:IRC client? It's not Java based. It works even in 
elinks :D

May someone test this IRC client → http://www.pjirc.com/demo.php ? With 
gcjwebplugin I cannot connect and there are problems with typing 
something to the text box. Everything works fine with the closed-source 
Sun's Java applet.

I just tried the NWS (weather.gov) local radar animation applet.  When I
clicked "Trust Applet", firefox froze.  Checking the log, I got an
SELinux denied message for gappletviewer:

audit(1155260238.314:4): avc:  denied  { execmem } for  pid=3260
comm="gappletviewer" scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0
tcontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 tclass=process

I started with FC6t2 and also tried after updating to the latest
rawhide.

I turned off the execmem check (setsebool allow_execmem=1).  With that,
the applet loads and eventually runs, but it doesn't display the radar
images (and it uses a lot of RAM - 464m VIRT and 375m RES according to
top).

I'm checking my local radar loop at:

http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=HTX&product=N0R&overlay=11...

If you run into an applet that doesn't work, please file it in
bugzilla.  We'll get someone to look at the failures.

Tried it with the Cisco PIX Device Manager, did not work but did
not kill my firefox, either :)

How does one get debugging messages out of it?

Try running:

firefox -g

then type "run" at the (gdb) prompt.
