RE: [Cobertura-devel] Use with Applets

[Mick F. <mic...@li...>]

Thanks everyone for input on this. In the end I opted for the following in
my applet:

/**
 * If we're running a cobertura-instrumented Applet, we need to flush out
the data, as not all Browsers
 * call System.exit(0), which is the normal flush trigger. If the cobertura
classes are not available
 * we do nothing - this is the normal situation.
 */
public void destroy() {
    try {
        Class  c =
Class.forName("net.sourceforge.cobertura.coveragedata.ProjectData");
        Method m = c.getMethod("saveGlobalProjectData", new Class[0]);
        m.invoke(null, new Object[0]);
    } catch (Exception e) {}
}


Regards,

Mick.
