Programming

Hi Guys,

I am working with Solaris 9 and we are developing the application which will work on different OS.So we develop the GUI using JAVA swings...
we want to display a Splash screen before starting the installation of the application...
1st we develop our application for windows and it is working fine and we are able to see the splash screen as well but when I am trying to do the same in Solaris,it gets the right path with the right image but not showing the splashScreen,it is just creating the frame of the image but not displaying the Image.

So can anyone please tell me why it is happening in Solaris but in windows,it works fine..

appreciate for any reply...

Thanks in advance...

here's my 2 cents :

1) you must make sure the java version you are running on windows is really the same as the one you have in solaris ;

-- otherwise a lot of things surely will not work (and splash screens will be the least of all) ;
-- so be prepared to upgrade your java to the most recent of the two environments ;

2) you better have no native filesystem references (like "c:\some\thing") hardcoded in your application, for there are no such thing as "drive C" within solaris or any other unices ;

-- well, considering java was meant to be Platform- and OS-independent, misbehaviours like this should not happen, but all measures have to be taken for a portable code ;

ok ?

good luck, and success !
