Message from marcussilfver Most recent post: 10/26/2007 2 authors and 5 replies. I am completely new to implementing drag and drop. I have made a class called DropPanel that extends JPanel. DropPanel implements the DropTargetListener interface. I place a DropPanel as a component of a JPanel and executes my application... The wierd thing is that my dropPanel.drop method is called even if I drop the draggable outside my DropPanel (on the JPanel that contains the DropPanel). This behaviour forces me to do a check in my drop method for the dropPanel's bounds and compare this with the mouse position and reject the drop if it is outside dropPanel. Is it supposed to be like this? read more about drag'n drop: why does the parent also become a droptarget

I have an applet in which I only want to load a particular class if the corresponding content type is required to be rendered by that applet so that the initial applet load is as quick as possible. I have considered using a custom class loader whereby the applet'd start a new thread in the init() method which invokes this loader to download a XYZContentRenderer class in the background for example. But then I thought that I still need to cast the resulting class to XYZContentRenderer so that reference to XYZContentRenderer in the casting'd already cause this class to be loaded when the applet is loaded. So therefore I see no benefit from using a custom class loader with an applet. Is this correct?

Message from Mungo Henning Most recent post: 9/24/2007 5 authors and 6 replies. Hi Folks, Okays, although I'm not the oldest person here I'm struggling to understand an issue in MVC with a Swing JAVA application. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be obliged. Here's the problem: I'm writing a little application and the idea of MVC tickles me such that I want to learn about it and implement it to fully appreciate MVC. Hypothetically, if I have a plain "String" object in my model and a "JTextField" object on my display, I would software connect these by telling the Model when the end user changes the textfield, and using the Observer pattern tell the JTextField (and any other viewers) when the model data changes. So if the end user types the first character in the JTextField then this JTextField nudges the associated Model and says "data has changed; you'd better update your String". The model then updates its String object and then it has to tell ALL its viewers that its data has changed. These viewers include the originating JTextField, hence we get a mutual loop: A calls B and then B calls A which leads to A calling B again... Knowing that others have solved this, how do people break this recursion? I'd think that whomever informs the Model that the data has changed ought not be on the list of Viewers that the model should subsequently contact. MVC sounds wonderful; someone enlighten my ignorance please. Thanks in advance Mungo :-) read more about MVC: how do I stop mutual recursion?

These actions are: ok cancel yes no accept decline apply revert/restore/reset (defaults) close retry next previous up down back help The above are mostly actions that are found in dialogs.
