Dear Colleagues,
I've a quite nasty problem concerning Java Sing applications - such as
SunONE - running X-tunneled over ssh.
The details:
We've got 3 servers:
serv1 - Fujitsu-Siemens GP7000, Solaris 7
serv2 - Fujitsu-Siemens GP7000, Solaris 7
serv3 - Sun Fire 280R, 8
The PCs on our workplaces running on SuSE Linux. The home directories
are coming from serv 3 and authentication is done by NIS+ with serv3 as
root-master and serv2 as backup-master - which actualy shouldn't matter.
On the servers as on the workplace PCs we are using the locale
de_DE.ISO8859-1.
If we lock into any of the servers via "ssh -X" and stating a java swing
application - e. g. SunONE - all the characters like "{" or "}" which
are selected on German keyboards with AltGr+somekey can't be produced.
Eg.: we want to type a "@" so we type "AltGr+q", but instead of a "@"
only a "q" is produced. All the German special characters "d", "|" a.s.o
for which we don't need to use "AltGr" are working.
And now it's getting weared: if we start a simple AWT-App everything is
working fine? Shall I convince Sun to move their SunONE-GUI to AWT? :-)
I've tried it whit java1.4.1-01 and java1.2.2-14 and lately applied a
patch-cluster.
If I got down in the basement and lock directly into the servers via
console everything works well, too.
I guess it's something related to X the ssh-tunnel and the
keyboardlayouts on both sides of the tunnel. But I don't have any
experience in X-keyboardlayouts. Might anybody have suggestions?
A confused,
Martin Christian.
