A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
JavaScript to Java-applet calls in Mozilla 1.4+JRE1.4.2 up to 10 times slower than
JScript to Java calls in IE 6.0+JRE1.4.2.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193282
JUSTIFICATION :
It is very difficalt to write good programs with applets using Mozilla
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Much faster calls of Java-applet functions from JavaScript.
---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
the test.html file
<html>
<head>
<script>
function testfun() {
var applet = document.getElementById("test"); // Mozilla version
// var applet = test; // IE vesrion
var longValue = applet.getLong();
var beginTime = new Date;
for(var i=0; i < 10000; i++) {
longValue--;
applet.setLong(longValue);
longValue = applet.getLong();
}
var endTime = new Date;
alert("Processing time:\n"
+ "begin: " + beginTime + "\n"
+ "end:" + endTime + "\n");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<applet codebase="file:///C:/" // set yours codebase
code="test.class"
mayscript
id="test"
width="200"
height="200">
</applet>
<input type=button onclick="testfun()" value="Click me">
</body>
</html>
the test.java file
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.lang.*;
final public class test extends Applet
{
static int value = 1000*1000*1000;
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString("All right", 50, 100);
}
public int getLong() {
return value;
}
public void setLong(int v) {
value = v-1;
}
}
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Store test.html and test.java files from the details section to your local HDD.
2. Compile test.java file
3. Change applet's codebase to your location in the test.html file
4. Run test.html in Mozilla. Wait while applet is starting. Click the button.
To start the test in IE comment the line 5 and uncomment the line 6 in the file
test.html
