Time to Open First App

Former Member — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 08:48:09 GMT

When I log in to xMII and click on a link to open a web page (any page with an applet on) there is a 10-20s delay before the page content renders.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it an applet cache thing? What can I do to improve it?

Once the first page has loaded everything else works fine.

Thanks

Nick

Nick,

You probably need to fire the waiter/waitress delivering your coffee - I imagine this issue is caused by the Sun JRE taking excessive time to initialize and have the coffee cup appear in your system tray. I've seen this at a customer location, but with their corporate IT managed desktop it was impossible to determine the problem.

Do you have a landing home page that shows up in the main content frame (some sort of splash screen that is the default Tab in the MII dashboard portal)? If you do, you can encourage the JRE to initialize before the user attempts to navigate to the content page with the desired applet(s). Add something like this and it should help kickstart the JRE before the user selects your hyperlink:

<APPLET NAME="xMIIDemo" CODEBASE="/Illuminator/Classes" CODE="iCommand" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" MAYSCRIPT>
<PARAM NAME="Server" VALUE="Simulator">
<PARAM NAME="Mode" VALUE="ModeList">
</APPLET>

It you are on v12 then of course you need to tweak the applet definition accordingly.

Regards,

Jeremy
