WebNotificationPopup for JApplet

[moizhb]

How can I have Notification popups for a JApplet?

WebNotificationPopup popup = new WebNotificationPopup(NotificationStyle.mac);
popup.setContent(msg);
popup.setIcon(icon);
popup.setDisplayTime(timeout);
NotificationManager.showNotification(popup);

I am calling this inside Japplet and I get the following error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-1" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.alee.managers.popup.PopupManager.getPopupLayer(PopupManager.java:226)
at com.alee.managers.popup.PopupManager.getPopupLayer(PopupManager.java:209)
at com.alee.managers.notification.NotificationManager.showNotification(NotificationManager.java:494)
at com.alee.managers.notification.NotificationManager.showNotification(NotificationManager.java:482)

Not sure if it is designed to work with JApplet.

Since you are using an applet there are no active windows in the application by default and PopupManager cannot automatically find a parent for your notification. So you have to provide it manually in showNotification method:

WebNotificationPopup popup = new WebNotificationPopup ( NotificationStyle.mac );
popup.setContent ( msg );
popup.setIcon ( icon );
popup.setDisplayTime ( timeout );
NotificationManager.showNotification ( myApplet, popup );

This way it should work.

I have added a small improvements for the exceptions thrown in this case.
Though it might not always tell you what exactly is missing.

Anyway, notification should be displayed properly if you will use the method I recommended.
