Instructions for setting up Javis to show a nam trace file via a web browser

 

Prologue:

In addtion to individual graphical showing nam trace files on both Windows and LINUX, Javis can display the nam trace file via a web browser. This feature has not been implemented on Nam.

 

I have tested this feature on both Netscape Communicator version 4.7 and Internet Explorer version 4. This new feature of Javis works well on both web browsers. I believe that this feature is also valid for any other web browsers.

 

It is not too hard to set up this feature because Javis's developers already provided an applet called "MainApplet.java". This applet is a part of Javis contacting to a web browser for showing a nam trace file via the web browser. A user can have this applet by downloading the whole Javis package via the Javis Main Page.

 

In order to show a nam trace file via a web browser, a user has to work on an amount of works. The remaining part of this page is donated for instructions to set up this new feature of Javis.

 

Instructions for setting up Javis to show a nam trace file on a web browser:

If users have already set up Javis - standalone version on your machine by following the instuctions in either "How to install Javis (standalone) on Linux based machine" , users do not have to do instr# 1.

However, users should make sure that an applet named "MainApplet.class" is in the directory "~/public_html/javis-0.2". If the applet is not there, users can download it from here.

1. At a machine working as a web server, download a tar file called "javis-0.2.tar.gz" into the directory named "public_html". After unzip and extract this tar file, users would get a Javis tree starting from the directory named "javis-0.2"

Note ! users have to create a structure which is exactly the same as the original Javis tree; otherwise this applet would ot work. Thus, if you have any problems, please check the details of your Javis tree with the one provided below.

2. After creating the whole Javis tree, try a provided html file named "test-queue-color.html". This example html file should be already situated in your new created directory "~/public_html/javis-0.2/". This file is an example showing how to invoke Javis to show a nam trace file via a web browser.

Tips!

1. With any web browsers, you should invoke this html file by putting its exact location on the machine.

2. If this html file does not work, check the locations of files specified in the html file. All of them must compatible to the Javis tree structure on the working machine.
