Posted on by

Apparently Cisco ASDM is not the only thing that breaks from updating to Java 1.6 Update 10. The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager Console is blank for Home, Monitors, and Reports. Thankfully, Policies, Clients, and Admin still works. Symantec knows about this issue:

Symantec Knowledge Base

Question/Issue:
After upgrading to Java 1.6 Update 10, the remote console for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) does not load the Home, Monitors, and Reports pages.The pages remain blank.

Symptoms:

* Home, Monitors, or Reports pages are blank when viewed using the remote console for SEPM.
* Java (JRE or JDK) 6 Update 10 was just installed prior to loading the remote console.
* Issue occurs only when using the remote console. The pages appear normal when viewing the SEPM console locally.

Solution:
Symantec is aware of this issue and is currently investigating it. This document will be updated as soon as more information becomes available.

Current workaround :

1. Uninstall Java 6 Update 10.
2. Install Java 5 Update 15 or Java 6 Update 7.

ASDM Error

Just installed Java6 Update 10 and logging into ASDM 5.2 does not work. I thought there was something wrong with my PIX when I logged in and saw this:

ASDM is unable to read the configuration from the PIX. Please check the configuration and your connection and then try again by clicking hte Refresh icon.

I think it is an issue with the Java update. This happened before with the previous GUI for PIX before ASDM came out. I’m surprised that the updates within the same version of Java affects Cisco’s GUI tools so much. The surprising thing is that I am able to log in using the Java applet on the http site.

Fixed Width Buttons in Blackberry Applications

I have always struggled with the buttons when developing for the Blackberry. Why? Because they usually come out looking pretty ugly. I have found a class that extends the ButtonField class to provide a way to specify fixed widths so all of your buttons can be a uniform shape. I found the details at Jonathan H. Fisher.


class FixedWidthButtonField extends ButtonField{
private int width;

FixedWidthButtonField( String label, int Width, long style){
super( label, style);
width = Width;
}

public int getPreferredWidth(){
return width;
}
}
