To Set the Input Method

Note -

This procedure can be performed automatically by the Netra j 2.0 software. See "Defining Boot Server Global Parameters".


  1. Set the javaos.im.url property.

    If your network has a Solaris machine running an Asian language engine, you can provide access to the engine from the JavaStation computer by setting the following JavaOS property:


    -djavaos.im.url=iiimp://
    iiimphost:port/
    input_method
    

where:

hostname is the Solaris host that is running the Asian language engine. port is 9010 by default. input_method is one of the input methods listed in Table 11-5.

  1. (Optional) Set the input method status pop-up option.

The following JavaOS property enables a pop-up window with input method status information to appear on the JavaStation monitor.


-djavaos.im.status.fixpopup=true

  1. (Optional) Set the javaos.im.lookup.button property.

    The following JavaOS property controls how the JavaStation user selects characters when using an input method. If false, when the list of candidate characters is displayed, letters are used to indicate each choice. If true, letters are replaced with buttons so that the user must click on a button to pick a choice. Note that enabling this option will negatively impact the performance of user input.


    -djavaos.im.lookup.button=true

  2. Reboot the JavaStation.

    To reboot a JavaStation, turn it off and then on.
