Wanting to post simple java games on a web site

stinkfoot70Apr 30 2018 — edited Apr 30 2018

I've learned some basic java and just started making simple GUI games. I was hoping to distribute them by somehow making them playable via my website. However, I'm confused how to proceed as much of my search results are either outdated or intended for more complex java programs.

The solutions most recommended in my research are applets, Java Web Start, or learn javascript.

I've seen suggestions in articles that both applets and JWS are outdated and are questionable for working on most browsers. Plus, do they both require certification to be able to run online? I'm not prepared to pay certification fees to share some elementary homemade games online.

Or I've heard...learn javascript which sounds like a completely different language. I'm hoping I can find a solution that utilizes all the java I just learned.

What other options am I missing that could work simply and not make a mountain out of a molehill?

Thank you. core

I would also like for the region title of certain regions to be dynamic, or rather equaling the value of some item on the page. I did some digging on Google and found that this was apparently possible in Apex 3, but I'm currently working in Apex 4.
What makes you think that these methods don't work in APEX 4.0? Did you try them?

Use the static text exact substitution method to reference the value of the page item in the region title attribute: 
&P1_TITLE.
Ensure the page item value is set before the titled region is rendered (e.g. using a Before Header Computation).

I tried this in Application Express 4.0.2.00.07 and it works

Could you please give a sample code

Hi,
Here is the example.

Type something like: "Order &P4_ORDER_NR." to the TITLE of the region.
- if item P4_ORDER_NR has value of 01/2012 then the Region Title will be "Order 01/2012".

Hi,

I've tried to handle item value. and I got a problem.

If I use Region Title: Role Description: &P4_POSITION_ID. - it shows : Role Description: 2
but when I inserted Region Title: Role Description: &P4_POSITION. it shows only Role Description:.

where P4_POSITION_ID - is Database column with source Position_ID
while P4_POSITION - is SQL query with source select e.POSITION_NAME from POSITION e where e.POSITION_ID = :P4_POSITION_ID

As I understand problem is when page is loaded P4_POSITION_ID item handle value, but P4_POSITION is empty.
but how to solve it?

When does the following code executes on your page?

while P4_POSITION - is SQL query with source select e.POSITION_NAME from POSITION e where e.POSITION_ID = :P4_POSITION_ID

Thanks
Pradeep

(I changed my handle but it's still displaying the number !!!!)

I don't know when it is executed. I've just created page item P4_POSITION and made it as SQL query.

Actually, value in the P4_POSITION_ID item is from POSITION_ID in EMPLOYEE table, which contains primary key EMPLOYEE_ID and has foreign key - POSITION_ID,
POSITION_ID is a primary key of POSITION table, which contains POSITION_NAME.

What I made is I created link from page 3 using EMPLOYEE_ID to redirect to page 4. There are all items in the page 4, which are in the EMPLOYEE table. But I need to show POSITION_NAME from POSITION table. So I created page item P4_POSITION as I mentioned before.

Do I need to create dinamic action or process before handling Region title?

The value for the item you wish to include in the title must be set at "Before Header" execution point (or earlier). If you're using an automated row fetch, I think you can simply move the row fetch process to the "Before Header" execution point.
