I am developing some bandwidth utilization monitor tool using jpcap.
what am i doing:-
1. i created a radio buttons panel containing the list of all the network interfaces that is present on system, and user has to choose one of them.
2. a jfreechart panel (dynamic) that will show the real time graph of bandwidth utilization when user clicks GO! button.
problem:-
i have added following in ActionListener in GO! button
try{captor = JpcapCaptor.openDevice(devices[selecteddevice], 65535,true, 20);}catch(Exception e){}
timer.start();
captor.loopPacket(-1,new PacketPrinter());
so when i run the program GUI comes with radiobutton panel and jfreechart panel but when i select an option and press GO! application freezes and chart panel does not show any dynamic updation.
when i commented out the JpcapCaptor.openDevice(devices[selecteddevice], 65535,true, 20);
then when i press GO! button, everything works,for example timer starts and chart panel is being updated.(but as captor is null so it is not capturing any data)
Please Help me!!!
my system is ubuntu 10.04, jpcap 0.7
