Can you manually install a JAR file into webstart?

Hello there,
We are currently using WebStart for our Applet. The Jar file is fairly large in size, so we figured this would save our customers some time when it comes to downloading the applet. This works very well for 95% of our customers. However, there are a few that have very slow connections and they insist that they can not download the applet.
Rather than argue with the customer, "The customer is always right???", we figured it may be easier to provide some of them with the Jar file on disk and have an install script run to manually set up webstart with the Jar file. Is this possible? How can we do this? I originally thought that we could do this manually, but I see that there is a great deal more involved in the webstart cache directory than simply a Jar file. Has anyone ever tried this?
Thank You
Dan

Hi,
We ran into something similar but we are using an application not an applet but I believe it is the same solution. We emailed a self extracting zip file to clients that could not download our jar file. We not only zipped up the jar file but our apps cache folder structure. This worked fine. There is a differenct caching location with the new Java Web Start so you need to be careful. I don't know if it will work for you but take a look at :

How can i manually install the swz files in the assetcache!

I have a computer that has no internet connection, and since i use components from SDK 4.1 and want to run my application anywhere,
i need to do a "manual update of flash" and have it register the external swz files.
If this is not possible, then maybe it could be possible to have all components compiled into one, and only one, swf file, so i can copy that file
to the "offline" pc.
I really believed, that the "merge into code" actually compiled everything into the code, but i must have misunderstood.
I have tried to "reset" the swc components, so they do not use the download url, from adobe, but it makes no difference, and i have edited the flex-config.xml file in the SDK's framework folder, but no luck so far.
Any hints are welcome,
TIA
Allan

Hi Gurdeep
I removed the fpdownload references, and set the use-network=false and the static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true.
i use the rpc_xx.swz, sparkskins_xx.swz, spark_xx.swz, texlayout_xx.swz, framework_xx.swz and osmf_flex_xx.swz libs.
I have a master swf file, compiled in flash builder, and a child-swf that is loaded from the master (using the mx.swfloader), and the child is compiled using the mxmlc commandline compiler.
I am investigating, if the child could be the culprit.
I have tried to find a way to "install" the required components in the assetcache, but found no other way than "copying the swz and heu files" there myself.
It actually works, but it would be nice to do this "the proper way"
Thankx

Nokia 5230 unable to install jad/jar files into me...

i'm unable to install java applications or java games into e:/ memory card.. but i can only install them into phone memory and phone memory is full and phone memory is use when you open application to run.. so i need to put this jar/jad games & application to e:/ memory card.. but it only goes to 75% when installing then unable to install..please help.. many of application unable to run because phone memory is full. do i need something like install properly the memory card to lock into phone or something?

@lionlego
It is time to address why you are so short of free phone memory, do you have too many applications installed or need to clear browser history? Perhaps backup essential data and hard reset device by keyng in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user) which should spped your phone up.

You might consider sharing/exporting/printing to PDF. Then covert the PDF's pages to jpegs pr pngs which can then be used to export to whatever or used directly from KN.

How do you convert a jar file into a java file, ?

how do you convert a jar file into a java file ?
I am new to Java ,but have a little experience in C++ and Visual Basic.
I want to edit and maybe create my own mobile games that are written or converted into jar files.
At the moment I am using Java NetBeans , and Easy Java( the java pad).
However the only solution I tried was to open the JAR file in winrar and see that its made up of png picture files,
midi music files and class files. Unfortunately when I uncompressed the JAR file , there was NO java file to be seen and the JAVA editors Do not show the class file like a Java file. So why is there no extension Java file in the mobile JAR game ?

Are you saying you want to take existing games and modify them? If the creators allow you to modify their source, then they'll provide you with that source (the .java files). If you're allowed to add things but not modify, you don't need .java files. Just documentation, which, again, the creators should be providing.
Or are you saying you want to create your own games and distribute them in jar files? If so, there's no need to turn jars into .java.

Installing a JAR file with NAL

This is in reference to my previous message about trying to use NAL to get
to a URL with System Rights...
In addition to having to install Java to use our new webpage, there is a jar
file that has to get pushed out, too.
It's not available as an executable, but, is there anyway to push out a jar
file with NAL? Does it need to be run, or, just copied somewhere, and, if
so...where?
Thanks!

We have an AGFA Imaging system that puts digitized x-rays, CAT-scans, etc.,
up on a webserver, so that docs all over our hospital can pull them up and
look at them.
The previous system HAD to use the MSJVM, but, last Saturday they upgraded
the system (not really telling us the requirements ahead of time...<G>), and
it had to use the Sun JRE. Sooo....I had to setup an AppObj last Sunday to
push out Java to all workstations, so went to Java.com and downloaded the
latest version, 1.5.x
Well...of course they had to use a certain version, 1.4.1_01, and, it
wouldn't work with 1.5.x at all, so, I pushed that out, then it turned out
that they use a product from Germany (AGFA, you know) named JacoZoom, and a
jar file is asked to be run by the users when they first login to the
website, and, of course...you have to be an Administrator.
Our VA Security Managers like to over-protect us, so, the German site
hosting JacoZoom is blocked, and, rather than drive home and download what I
needed, I thought it would be easier just to push out the URL with System
Rights temporarily (you understand that by this time, Monday afternoon, all
our 400 doctors were up in arms because they couldn't view any images), and
then the trying to push the URL just didn't work.
Sooo...I drove home and got the JacoZoom product (had to buy it), which is a
large executable containing several JAR files when exploded, one of which
was the one that was being pushed out. Running the executable didn't do the
trick (not sure why), and the JAR wouldn't run, even manually, but, I
FINALLY found an email from another tech going through the same hassle, and,
all he did was push a different JAR file to the \lib\ext folder in the JRE
1.4.1_01 folder...and it worked.
I did that, and, it worked, and deployed it all over the building.
Welcome to my world--and, I'm not complaining, because with SMS (which we
have to run, but don't use), I'd still be configuring the deployment
package.
Thanks.

How do I add a jar file into the build path of the compiler?

Hey,
I'm trying to import a jar file into the build path of the compilation process, but it does not find the packages or the classes that are in it.
I think I don't add it right...
          ArrayList<String> options=new ArrayList<String>();
          options.add("-d");
          options.add(targetDirectory);
          options.add("-classpath");
          for(String str:includeDirectory)
               options.add(str);
          if (!compiler.getTask(writer, fileManager, diagnostics, options, classes, compilationUnits).call());
                ....and I've tried this way:
     public void setTargetDirectory(String targetDirectory) {
          this.targetDirectory = "-d " + targetDirectory;
     private void compile(Iterable<? extends JavaFileObject> compilationUnits) throws Exception {
          ArrayList<String> options = new ArrayList<String>();
          options.add(targetDirectory);
          String classPath="-cp ";// tried this also with "-classpath"
          for (String str : includeDirectory)
               classPath+=str+":";
          options.add(classPath);
     if (!compiler.getTask(writer, fileManager, diagnostics, options, classes, compilationUnits).call())
          // throw new Exception("Compilation Error");
     }Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Thank you for your reply,
Q: Are there .class files in that directory in that jar file? (the compiler doesn't ( can't )) look for directories, it can just look for specific files , and scan to get a list of all files matching certain criteria. So if there are no class files, it will say the package doesn't exist, even if there is a directory, possibly containing other files.yes there are class files in the jar, the tree structure:
j2MeDataChunkGenerator_Plugin\(lots of class files)
META-INF\manifest.mf
and thats it.
, your code will only work on windows because other platforms use a different path separator. You should use java.io.File.pathSeparator not explicit ';" when building your classpath. (this is unrelated to your problem, but you should correct it)will do, thanks.
Q: Is that error in your post formatted by your own diagnostics? (we could possibly help you better if we didn't have to guess!!)I would not post my own error code, this text is generated by the compiler diagnostic.
{code}
     System.err.println(" Error details: " + diagnostic.getMessage(null));
{code}
Q: Is line 3 of ImageCroper_Editor.java (sic) an import statement? (we could possibly help you better if we didn't have to guess!!)it is an import error... didn't the error message stated that it is an import problem? wired, I'm sure before it did. anyway it is an import error.
Also you don't show us what the variable includeDirectory is in terms of type, and contents, that might be helpful. (we could possibly help you better if we didn't have to guess!!)It has only one String object: "D:\%Important Documents\WorkSpaces\PacMan\ApplicationManager\Plug-in\Data Chunk Designer.jar"
the last file on the classpath list.
Q: Have you proven this? that i did post, in this long line of text.
Q: Is the compiler finding other classes (in other packages) in that same jar file?No. all the class files are in the jar, they all have entries that start with "j2MeDataChunkGenerator_Plugin\*.class", and since I get 47 errors I guess it does not load any other class.
thank you for you comments, the problem with having these errors, is that I can't even get a piece of information where this error is coming from, only that it is an import loading error package not found, what does that mean? that the jar was not loaded in compilation(no error about this), that the jar is corrupted(no error about this), that the path is incorrect(it is correct I made sure), that there is no such package in the jar(There is), that the compiler does not load the package(does it even do that?), really I can't even guess why this happens, I've been at this on and of all day today, really annoying.
Thanks,
Adam.

How to extract jar files into a folder in the local disk and then import?

hai forum,
will any one tell me how should i extract jar files into a location in my project folder and then how to import the class files for further usage?
Thank you .

I will be graeateful if u could explain this a bit.
Do you want to say that i should craete instance of
ZipEntry like this
InputStream is =
jarFile.getInputStream(entry);
File inputFile = new
File("C:\\myclasses.data");
FileInputStream fis=
new FileInputStream(inputFile);No! You need to write the entry using FileOutputStream copying all the bytes of the ZipEntry InputStream to the FileOutputStream.
>
What about adding into a directory?Do i have to
create on dynamically?Yes! You can use File.mkdirs(). For example
File ofile = new File("your directory where you will place the zip entries" + zipEntry.getName());
ofile.getParentFile().mkdirs();

When you use an executable jar the normal class path
is ignored, but you can put a classpath inside the
jar. The usual trick is to place the library jar
files in a directory inside the application directory
and direct the manifest file to it. The manifest file
live in the jar inside the META-INF directory and
it's called manifest.mf
The two heavilly used entries are Main-class: and
Class-path: lines. Class-path just has a
comma-separated list of library paths.
The jar utility has a special option to load it up.Thanks :) I created a "/lib" directory, placed in the packages in there and redirected the Class-Path: lib/commons-net-1.4.1.jar
and it works,
thank you everyone :)
