URGENT ! Forms (jar file vs directory and classes)

Hi,
Our java developper has made an applet that we have to integrate with Forms.
I said that I need a jar file that I will put in the forms90/java directory.
The java developper want's to deploy instead of a jar file the whole directory and sub directory and all classes under the forms90/java.
My question is, are both deployement giving the same result in term of performance on the client side when downloading the classes or the jar file.
I always tought that jar file was better in performance.
What is the best way to deploy our applet?
Thanks for quick answer.

If you choose jar file client JVM will probably cache your jar. This will increase speed of application loading.
Another benefit is that when you use jar file there is lazy/on demand loading option available (in my experience on demand loading doesn't work out of the box - jar file and all referenced jar files must be indexed). In other words: users that don't use forms that use your applet will not download that jar file (I have used this for FormsGraph example and some custom java application) and they don't have to download all of the jars your jar file references.

How do you create a jar file with txt and classes?

Hey, I'm trying to create code to create a jar file with a text file, but I can't figure out how to add the text file. Here is what I have so far:
try {
            // Name of jar file to write
            String archiveFile = "test.jar";
            Manifest jman = new Manifest();
            try {
                // Create a manifest from a file
                //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                // Construct a string version of a manifest
                StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
                sbuf.append("Manifest-Version: 1.0\n");
                sbuf.append("Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1\n");
                sbuf.append("Created-By: 1.5.0_19-137 (Apple Inc.)\n");
                sbuf.append("Main-Class: Main\n");
                sbuf.append("Class-Path: lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar\n");
                sbuf.append("X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build\n");
                // Convert the string to a input stream
                InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
                // Create the manifest
                jman = new Manifest(is);
            } catch (IOException e) {
            FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(archiveFile, true);// archive file is jar file name
            JarOutputStream out = new JarOutputStream(stream, jman);
            out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("test.txt"));
            out.closeEntry();
            out.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
        }It creates the .jar file with the correct manifest but I can't get it to write the test.txt or anything else into the jar file.

Alright, my question has changed. Here's the code:
try {
            // Name of jar file to write
            String archiveFile = "test.jar";
            Manifest jman = new Manifest();
            try {
                // Create a manifest from a file
                //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                // Construct a string version of a manifest
                StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();

Missing com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework directory and classes

Hello,
I installed crystal report server 2008 and Iu2019m missing the directory and classes in "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework" on the webreporting.jar package. Does anyone know why? Or does anyone know where I can get the complete webreporting.jar package. I extracted all the files from the webreporting.jar file this is why I know this. Thanks

If you don't first refer to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK Developer Guide available on this page:
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary]
for the required jar files, then you're essentially flying blind into a hurricane with fuel gauge on empty.

Help finding JAR files containing a specific class

I Need to find the JAR file containing the java class/type com.sap.engine.frame.ServiceException
<i><b>Frank</b></i>

Hi Frank,
The easiest solution will be searching for class names in Windows search like: Search for files *.jar and contains text xyz.class.
If you find a particular jar then open it using WinZip and you can locate the class file.

Getting file from directory where class files are

hi i want to load a properties file from the directory where my java program is (the class/jar files)
somebody told me that i could use System.getProperty("user.dir"); but it would only work under windows; under linux it points elsewhere.
how can i determine the directory where my program lies? sounds easy but i failed :(

why to hell put it in the classpath? Because that way you don't have to ask the user where the hell he put the file.
and if i would do so the next question: how can my
program modify the classpath?It can't. And it doesn't need to.
isn't there another way to determine the directory
where the app is started from???If you mean the current, or working, directory, then yes there are several ways to determine that. But that directory need not be where the classes are actually stored. In fact the current directory doesn't even have to be in the classpath.
Now, here's the best way to deal with properties files. (IMHO of course.) Put them in the classpath, in the same directory or jar file as your classes. Then to create a Properties object and load it from your properties file named e.g. "default.properties" you do this:Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/default.properties"));

Access jar file from in-memory classes...

I have some classes that I compile to memory and everything works fine until one class that must access some external jar files. I have been unable to access those jar files from disk after trying every suggestion using URLClassLoader. I even tried someone's example to hack the SystemClassLoader which properly adds the jar file paths, but still they can't be seen. The only way it works is if I put the files in the jdk/jre/lib/ext directory. Then everything works fine. There must be a way to load the jar files in memory as well as the class files so they can be accessible. Has anyone done anything like this? Is it possible? Even though the class files are in memory, why would the jar files not be seen even when they are added to the same URLClassLoader's URL's. Thanks.

Sorry that wasn't clear. What I mean is that the classes are compiled to byte code directly to memory and no physical .class file is created. Yes, I'm using my own ClassLoader that extends URLClassLoader and I'm setting the parent to ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(). I also should mention that I'm doing this inside a Netbeans module that is part of a Netbeans Platform application. I don't know why that should matter though, since I'm trying to do everything in memory without creating the physical files. Thanks.

Application in JAR file cant find JDBC classes

Hi,
When I run an application from the JAR file the ClassNotFound exception is throw! When I run from the application classes in the directory the program works. The JDBC classes are in the CLASSPATH, the manifest of JAR file is:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: xxxxx
Main-Class: com.xxx.jhdesk.JHelpDesk
Class-Path: classes111.jar JdbcDomino.jar
I tried to put "class-path" parameter in the manifest but the problem continues.
I need to send only my jar file, and the JDBC classes would be anywhere at the client machine.
Any hint will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Daniel Carvalho

Those two jar files in the Class-Path entry in the manifest file, are they in the same directory as the jar file? (What you put there is supposed to be relative to the jar file, and you have no directory information.) And is there a line-ending character at the end of that line?

Jar file with JRE and lib's

I'd like to create a jar file that also contains the JRE that I want to use as well as some libraries I'm using. Is that possible?
I have created in the past a batch file that points to an specific JRE that I package with my classes in a directory. But this time I'd like to package it in the jar file as well.
Thanks!

URGENT: New JAR file NOT being pushed to web clients.

Greetings...
When our web app first came to market, some of our customers were still using a dial-up connection. Therefore, since one of our web pages uses an applet, it was decided to ship the necessary JAR files to clients on an installation CD, rather than burden our dialup customer with having the JAR files pushed out to them over the line. The jar files are installed in the C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3\lib\ext directory on the client computers.
Don't ask why, but we are now attempting to have our web site push out a new JAR file to just one of our clients, but the problem I'm running into is that if the OLD jar file already exists in the C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3\lib\ext directory, the NEW jar file isn't pushed out by the website. My understanding was that the system would automatically detect if the JAR file on the client was older than the JAR file on the server and would then push the newer JAR file out to the client, but obviously, I'm missing something.
Any help/suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Following is the kludgy ASP code for this...

I guess the problem is, that your local jar file's classes copied to the JRE's ext directory have higher priority. The JRE does not store your applet jar locally and so does not overwrite anything you may have installed, it only executes the jar file given by the browser which may cache it or not.
Why don't you use the Java Webstart technolgy? It's pretty simple to use it. Customers would have to download every new jar version only once and Webstart will take care that the local version is up-to-date every time your app is started.

Help! How to create Jar file for a packaged class?

But when i package it, it doesn't run. Can any one tell me how to make jar file of packaged classes and include images in the jar files too!
Really Thanx!

JAR files for SQLJ and JDBC drivers: what is the best practice?

starting a migration from IAS 10 to WebLogic 11g.
Apparently the jar files for SQLJ are not on the classpath by default.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sqlj/runtime/ref/DefaultContextwhich is the better practice: putting the SQLJ runtime jar into the lib subdirectory of the domain directory, or using a shared library reference? (usage of SQLJ is pretty prevalent in our apps, though we may be getting away from it)
are the Oracle JDBC drivers on the classpath by default?
if not, then the same question: put them into the lib subdirectory of the domain directory, or use a shared library reference?

I'm looking at the setDomainEnv, especially the big note at the top:
>
# WARNING: This file is created by the Configuration Wizard.
# Any changes to this script may be lost when adding extensions to this configuration.
>
and am getting squeamish about editing it...
http://www.bea-weblogic.com/how-do-i-disable-wls-automatically-adding-to-classpath.html looks like the default behaviour is for WebLogic to put $DOMAIN/lib;$WL_HOME/common/lib/ext;$WL_HOME/server/lib/ext on the classpath; there is also a reference to setting weblogic.ext.dirs= when starting weblogic (which means I set the WEBLOGIC_EXTENSION_DIRS environment variable).
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/programming/libraries.html#wp1067450 also refers at the bottom to using the domain /lib subdirectory.
so am I correct that a good practice is to just put the jars I think I will globally need into $DOMAIN/lib, rather than putting them in $WL_HOME/common/lib/ext, $WL_HOME/server/lib/ext, or fiddling with the WEBLOGIC_EXTENSION_DIRS environment variable?

How to read a files in directory and its subdirectories

I wants to read all files in directory, its subdirectory and further till end the files in the subdirectory of subdirectories.
I have some idea the I can do this by using recursive function, using the functions isDirectory(), File.list() etc.
How much you can please help me. (via code of logic)

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MyCon
public static void main(String args[]) throws
IOException
File file=new File("c:/");
openDirectory(file,"");
System.in.read();
static void openDirectory(File file,String indent)
String[] string=file.list();
String path=file.getAbsolutePath();
for(int i=0;i<string.length;i++)
File temp=new File(path+"/"+string);
if(temp.isDirectory())
openDirectory(temp,indent+" ");
else
System.out.println(indent+temp.getName());

How to reference JAR files in stored java class ?

I don't know if it's exactly the right place to post this, I hope it could be :-)
Here is the problem :
I developped a Java class with some public static functions.
To store this class in Oracle, I use the SQL below :
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "SYSTEM"."MYCLASS" AS
// ... (Java source code) ...
This works pretty well with simple functions, but we need to import specific class. Here is for MQSeries : import com.ibm.mq.*;
When using the SQL to put the Java class, we get an error message saying that the class wasn't correctly compiled. It seems it's about the import.
The question is : how to proceed to reference the JAR files needed so that my class can correctly import the needed packages ?
Thanks in advance,

Here is a simple example of code :
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "SYSTEM"."TEST" AS
import com.ibm.mq.*;
public class Test {
public Test() {
try{
MQQueueManager manager = new MQQueueManager("");
catch(Exception e){
In this way, I get message "Warning : Java create with compilation errors".
When I comment the line of the MQQueueManager object creation, it is well created.
Any ideas ?
