Problem: Null pointer whenever launcher starts!
Originator:DCS 2/15/99
Status: Closed, DCS, ADFlauncher V 1.6
Problem: OK button doesn't work in ServerDialog box, double-clicking does
Originator: DCS 2/15/99
Status: Postponed, DCS
Comment: This is a linux-only bug, Solaris and DEC UNIX to don't show it, so
I'm assuming it's a JDK bug that will get fixed in a future update. Not our
problem -DCS
Problem: Open an editor on the initial FileAgent's Display, and you throw a Null
Pointer. Doesn't occur on any other displays
Originator: DCS 2/16/99
Status: Open, assigned to DCS
Problem: NO DATABASE SERVERS ARE UP!
Originator: Everybody 2/8/99
Status: In Progress, assigned to ND and DCS
Problem: Agents lose buttons when regaining control of Displays. Must be a
ButtonView bug!
Originator: DCS 2/16/99
Status: Open
Problem: Launcher doesn't update list of agents running on displays when release gets
called on display.
Originator: DCS 2/16/99
Status: Pending, will be fixed in ADFlauncher 1.7
Comment: Launcher can't detect release call -- changing protocols to have agent
termination cause manager to notify launcher to update.
Problem: Displays don't terminate when last agent assigned to them terminates.
Originator: DCS 2/16/99
Status: Open
Comment: Somehow the Display will have to notify the Display Manager, who can
drop the reference to it, causing the launcher to update, and hopefully the Garbage
collector will take it from there. Displays don't currently have a reference
to the Display manager, so that will be changed as well --DCS
Editor Open Bugs
Recommendation: Add the ability to terminate a line anywhere. Draw a
box there. Clicks on the box should edit the name. This name should
go in the external inputs/outputs list depending on what type of port it
is attached to. The name should also be added to the port that it is
attached to as the attribute external_name.
Originator: KDU
Status: open
Recommendation: Make Symbol the thing that is displayed in the center of
nodes. Also, add the type aBitmap so that Symbol can be a bitmap or
text string.
