empty main window

Hello,

we've installed mec-as2 build 25 on a linux server.
We've also installed JDK 1.6 - as required.

All the environment is set correctly ( as far as we undterstand it ) including the CLASSPATH and DISPLAY variables

The X-Server is running on a different machine

when we start mec_as2_start.sh, we see the splash screen correctly ( probably it is a single image ) and afterwards
the main mec-as2 window appears.

in the title bar we see the text "m-e-c as2 1.1" and the correct product logo in the left upper corner, but the remainig window area is empty: no main menu, no buttons - simply nothing! ( ok: the background colour is not white, but some kind of gray )

is there another thing to consider? some env. variable? some missing jar?

thanks for any help.

regards,
Thomas

Thomas,

please have a look at the log file in the directory log/as2n.log, is there any "class not found" exception?

Hello heller,

thanks for your response.

We have the file as20.log in the log directory. I think your suggestion as2n.log means n=0.

No, there are no (such) exceptions neither in the logfile nor in the session screen where mec_as2_start.sh was invoked.

We also made already a successful data transfer, to the test-server, but with no possibility to set additional partner... there's no fun :-)

Thomas,

ok, seems to run fine then. Whats about some bugs of java in x forwarding or something like this:

Heller,

as described in the java's bug report that's exact the situation we have: forwarding X11 over ssh

I will check the suggestions there and give you my feedback

By default, ssh do not forward X11 :
remember to add option -X to your ssh forward command.

Compression can help for little bandwith :
try to add option -C to your ssh forward command.

try also to launch another application after mec-as2 launch :
xeyes or xclock for example : it allow to see if problem come really from mec-as2.

Regards
