Applet and Application Tasks


Running an Applet

Novell JVM for NetWare assigns a screen to the applet and executes the applet. The NetWare GUI is then loaded and the applet is displayed.

While the applet is running, you can toggle between the NetWare GUI and the server console. (For more information, see Toggling between NetWare GUI and the Console .)

For example, suppose an applet called MYAPP is found in SYS:\MYAPPS\. To run this applet, you would enter

applet SYS:\MYAPPS\MYAPP.HTML


Running an Application

Novell JVM for NetWare assigns a screen to the application and then executes the application. If the application requires a graphical interface, Novell JVM for NetWare loads NetWare GUI and displays the application. If the application requires console keyboard input, the -ns option must be used.

While the application is running, you can toggle between NetWare GUI and the server console. (See Toggling between NetWare GUI and the Console .)

To run multiple applications concurrently, toggle to the console and follow one of the above procedures for running a Java application. When the application is finished executing, Novell JVM for NetWare removes the application's window from the screen.

All GUI applications appear in the same GUI screen. The server supports only one attached monitor at a time.


Enabling Symmetric Multiple Processor Support

NetWare 6 allows symmetric multiple processor support-this is the default setting. To force the JVM instance to run on a specific processor, use the -mp flag. Disabling multiple processor support is equivalent to using the -mp0 flag.

If your specific application heavily uses services on processor 0, such as file IO, processor 0 might be faster.

To assign a JVM to processor 0, enter the following at the server console:

java -mp0 <application name>


Getting a List of Running Java Processes

To display a list of currently running processes and their process IDs, enter the following at the server console:

java -show


Shutting Down a Running Java Process

  1. Get a list of the running Java processes

    See Getting a List of Running Java Processes .

  2. At the server console, enter

    java -kill<process ID>

    For example:

    java -kill610

    Replace 610 with the ID of the process to be killed.

  3. To shut down all running processes, enter the following at the server console:

    java -killall
