How do I turn on Trace or view the Java Console from the Applet?

To turn on Trace, in the Corvid Editor hit the Properties tool bar button, check the Add Trace Applet checkbox, and hit Run on the tool bar to rebuild the .html file. The new Web page will have the Trace applet on the screen and traces will be written to it as your expert system runs. If you have "Trace To Java Console" on while running as a Java application, the trace text will be written to the Console (Command Prompt) window.

To open the Java Console in Windows, right mouse click on the Java Icon in the System Tray and select Open Console.

If an error message is displayed, the message in the Java Console will give the most information on the error. The Trace will have the steps leading up to the error.

You can copy the Trace text or the Java Console text and paste it into an email when requesting technical support. (In some browsers you may have to use Ctrl-C to Copy the selected text to the clipboard because the Edit menu may not be accessible.)
