How to fix Chrome frozon issue when loading applet?

I suffered a lot by chrome when embedding the applet into page during these days.
Fortunately, I figure out what the tricky parts of it:)

1) Firstly, we need get rid of all security issues which should be addressed by jarsigner with the following MANIFEST.MF

Manifest-Version: 1.0


Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: *
Codebase: *
Permissions: all-permissions

Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver
Application-Name: XXXXX
Build-Jdk: 1.7.0_45
Built-By: lzheng
Created-By: Apache Maven 3.0.4
Here is the reference for all applet jar manifest: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/manifest.html
If you know nothing about jarsigner, the chrome frozen issue is out of your ability to resolve it:)

2) After that, the code work perfectly on firefox but randomly freeze the chrome browser which depress me a lot.
Is it a chrome issue? yes and no.
Chrome just didn't handle the exceptions correctly when we call applet method before applet's get actually started. We need to call applet method after applet's start life cycle.

Here is applet's life cycle:
public class Simple extends Applet {

    StringBuffer buffer;

    public void init() {
        System.out.println("initializing... ");
    }

    public void start() {
        System.out.println("starting... ");
    }

    public void stop() {
        System.out.println("stopping... ");
    }

    public void destroy() {
        System.out.println("preparing for unloading...");
    }
}

We need to override the start() function to tell page, the applet  start successfully. 
@Override public void start() { win.eval("onAppletStartHandler();"); //onAppletStartHandler is the callback function defined in JS. }
we put related applet code which are used to get information automatically using applet when page get loaded to "onAppletStartHandler()".


Easy fix, then chrome stuck issue should go away:)

How to fix "ValueError when trying to compile python module with VC Express"

When I tried to compile the python, I always get compile issue as following: ------------ ...

How to run odoo(openerp8) in IDE from source on windows

(requirements.txt contains all dependencies. ) The pip will install the python module automatically. However, the real world always bring us the issues because our C++ compile environment is not setup correctly.  we will get the link error when pip try to install psycopg2 (driver to access postgresql db.).
