EJS loading

[sithy]

Hello again,

Questions:

I have created couple of simulations using EJS and hoping to do more. Is it legal to display the simulations in my site?
Why is it taking this long to display the simulation?
I noticed that even in your forum, simulations take quite a bit of time to display. How can we improve this?

You can see my simulations at the following location.:

http://downloadanswer.com/Simulations.aspx

There are two simulations.  'Reflection and Refraction' and Simple Pendulum. First simulation will display, but it takes a lot of time to download. Second one has trouble. I did some modifications to the html files. I need to check those again.



Regards,

Sithy.

We have switched to EJS 4 two months ago. There are many new features available and it also required larger jar file.
The typical size of EJS is 1.2-1.4M Byte if data analysis/video/translation... tools are all available (which is the current setting).
It will be slow if you have slow connection. It took 8-10 s to fullly load jar file for my browser.
You can remove some of the setting to reduce the file size to about 0.7-0.8M.

It took me 25-30 seconds to load your first page. The following is the error message when I load your second page:

Code:

The jar tag in your applet is "Simple pendulum.jar" .

However, there is a space in your filename. Normally, I will create a file named as "Simple_pendulum".
Please reload your xml source "Simple pendulum.xml" , save it as "Simple_pendulum.xml" , compile it again and upload it to the server. This might solve your problem.
Please use only english alphabet ,number for your file name.  You can use underscore, but do not use " " (space) as part of file name.
Because EJS use your filename to name some of the class and variables.
 
I download your jar file and it is a corrupted jar. May be there are other problem!

Is it legal to display the simulations in my site?

http://www.um.es/fem/EjsWiki/index.php/Main/ConditionsOfUse
Authors can distribute any simulation that they create using EJS, provided a reference to this fact is included, together with a link to the official Web page for EJS: http://fem.um.es/Ejs. It is not necessary to include this reference in all pages with a simulation on it of an educational unit. Including a reference for the whole set in a clearly visible place will suffice.


My thoughts:
Perhaps you should change "Created with Easy Java Simulations" to "Created with Easy Java Simulations with the link.? To help spread the use of Ejs!
