Rich Client slow after os x system upgrade

Classic Servoy
1

A client recently upgraded their G5’s from OS X 10.3.9 to 10.4.8.
Issue now is that Servoy Client is starting up very slow and also using the solution takes a lot of time.

We cleared all Java caches, deleted existing jar’s and download the rich client again, but nothing seems to solve the problem.

Anybody experienced this also and/or know how to solve this?

Greetings,

Is the client using 2.2.x or 3.0?

Since you upgraded to 10.4.8, I would imagine that you have the latest version of Java installed, too, or maybe you need to run Software Update to make sure you have the latest version installed.

Also, if you’re running 2.2.x, maybe you need to tell the G5 to run the older version of Java (1.4.2 instead of 5.0). There’s a Java Prefernces app in the Utilities folder that allows you to switch versions. I don’t know if 2.2.x runs better using the older version or not.

Ask them what is in the /Library/Java/Extensions folder. Some jars in there can add to startup time.

Extensions folder is empty, but there’s also a ‘Home’ folder in there. That one contains a list of files with a .1 extension. Do you mean those?

Normally there are only .jar files in that folder. They are automatically in the classpath of any java application running. On a default install, that folder should be empty. So, you might try moving the files out, and see if that has any effects.

Also, when you reinstalled the rich client, did you delete all of the files out of the .servoy folder (insider of the users home directory)?

Do you know for sure they are running the latest version of Java? That can be seen from the help, about menu in Servoy, or by typing “java -version” in the terminal application.

Problem is temporary ‘solved’ by setting the Java version back on the client workstation to 1.4.
Any suggestions for Java 1.5 are welcome, ofcourse…

What happens when you run Software Update? Is there a Java update listed? Maybe the G5 doesn’t have the latest 1.5 version.
