Coldfusion 7 MX, upgrading third party library files such as log4j.

How do I upgrade log4j that is installed with CF7MX? I have
an app that also contains log4j, but a newer version. It would seem
that the app I am using is getting a handle on the CF7MX log4j, and
throwing an exception.
I've tried moving my app's log4j to the beginning of the CF
classpath, set in the Admin Console, and even overwriting the older
version with the new, and new with the older, in a fit of
desperation. All attempts were unsuccessful.
I tried the demo version of CF8, and the app runs fine, but
my company is reluctant to upgrade to CF8 just for one app. The
cost of the new software is a factor, but so is regression testing
all of the other apps etc. So suffice it to say, I'm really hoping
to come up with a solution for CF7MX. I looked at the patch for
7.02, but it doesn't contain any java library upgrade.
Also, we don't have the source code for the app that we are
running under CF, so we aren't able to downgrade the logging calls.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How to use third party library (like .dll and .lib files) in flascc?

I have a number of .dll and .lib files of the third party library, which are generated from C++ code.
I read about flascc on other web site says:
"If you want to use third party library in your Flascc project,you must have either the source code or the linkable file which is compiled of the third party library "
Dose the linkable file mean .dll file or .lib file?
AND
How can I use the fuctions in them in my flascc project.?

Native code is not interchangeable between platform.
It means that you can't use library that wasn't build specifically for flascc.
And when they say linkable files they mean libraries compiled for flascc, not any libraries.
So if your libs are for windows, no luck, you have to recompile everything

Any suggestions? i have searched google and this forum but could not find the solution to my problem, thanks

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 :)

Third-party library for J2ME

Can I use third-party library in the J2ME wireless toolkit? and How?
I have trouble using MathFP library provided by http://home.rochester.rr.com/ohommes/MathFP/
with the J2ME wireless toolkit(1.04, 2.1 and 2.2).
If I can not use third-party library with the toolkit, is there any way around it?
Also, I find out that even if I wipe out my CLASSPATH on my windows system, the J2ME wireless tool kit still remember the old CLASSPATH. It means I still can compile Java project with J2ME wireless toolkit, but I can not compile any Java file with command line ( it can not find any Java library!). The bottom line is J2ME wireless toolkit has special setup. And I don't know to use third-party library with the toolkit. If developer can not use third-party library with the toolkit, it would be kind of ridiculus. It would be just like the Visual Studio .NET can not use any other third-party DLL.

Hi,
You can very well use third party libraries in J2ME as far as it is compatible. If u have the source code of the library copy it in to the src directory of the project or if u have only the library then put it in lib directory of the project

Unable to access classes in third party jar files packaged with my ejb.jar

I have packaged some third party jar files in my xxx_ejb.jar file. The third party jar file contains classes that are accessed by some custom classes which are in turn accessed by my bean classes. I get the following error when my custom classes attempt to use any of the classes in one of the third party jar files:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/Ostermiller/util/CSVParser
Shouldn't I be able to access classes in jar files that are packaged with my xxx_ejb.jar file? I see the xxx_ejb.jar file as a resource of the application classloader that contains it but I don't see the third party jar files.

As per the Java EE specification, additional JAR files should be packaged on the EAR level. Only WAR files' WEB-INF/lib folder is scanned for JAR files to be added to the classloader.

How to call third party executable file from SAP as a modal.
I have a drum filling system. I want to call executable file of drum system which take a weight from instrument and write a text file. After completion of this SAP will read that text file and write it to screen.

the best way to do it is using RFC (remote function call)
your drum tool should be compatible in order to do it
if not you can still send a command to operating system in order to execute your tool but this is a second choice

How do i access a third party .class file

Hi,
I am new to both java and enterprise 8, and would greatly appreciate some help.
I have a third party .class file and want to include it in a project so i can call it's methods etc. I can access it by creating an object as follows
thirdPartyClass tpc= new thirdPartyClass();and then create a .class file of my own using javac at the command line without any probles, but if I use the same code in enterprise 8 it reports an error stating "cannot access MyProjectName.thirdPartyClass" could someone please tell me how to reference this file as so far I have not been able to find anything.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the suggestions it appears I was doing more or less the right things but miss reading the error message:
Cannot access keyword.classes.thirdPartyClass
bad class file C:\java\keyword\classes\thirdPartyClass
class file contains wrong class: thirdPartyClass
please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectroy of the classpath.
While looking I have found that the classes do not contian src folders of Javadoc so I will go see if the third party can supply a Jar file or similar.
Thanks

Question about using third party jar files in Java Web Start Environment

Hi everybody, I got a very strange problem and still can't figer out how to solve it. Can anyone help to overcome this problem?? Thanks in advance.
Question: I wrote a simple java swing application to connect to Oracle database. I packed whole my classes and a third party jar file(classes12.jar) to a new jar file named "IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar" and then use command 'jarsigner' to signed IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar. There is no problem when I execute 'java -jar IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar' in the command line.

contents of the manifest file I used to create this jar file are as follows
===================================
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: IRMASSvrMgntGUI
Class-Path: classes12.jar
Created-By: 0.9a (itoh)
===================================
and file structures in "IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar" is
====================================
META-INF/
classes12.jar
DBAuthenticateDialog.class
DBConnection.class
IRMASSvrMgntGUI.class
====================================

If you directly include classes12.jar in IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar, the classloader won't be able to find the classes inside classes12.jar. You should sign classes12.jar separately and include that in jnlp along with your application specific jar. When you're launching your app using "java -jar somefile.jar" then the classpath settings in manifest file are used, but that's not the case when you start using JWS since in this case the classpath is based only on the " <jar href=..." entries in jnlp.

Any third party library ?

java can not fetch the System information. may be its a windows machine or may be its a linux machine. because they depend upon native. though JNI has given some access but that is tedious to do.
I am looking for some third party library which can fetch the System information .
Do you know any such third party library ?
i need CPU and Memory information of the System.
is there any third party library provides that ?

does java 1.5 can help us in this regard ?
i found
In 1.5, you have the management beans. will it be of any use ?

Importing third party XML files into form-based publishing

Hi,
I want to import third party XML files into form-based publishing. My problem is that when I open the files, they are presented as normal XML files.
The 'type' property is not set to "form-based publishing". That's the reason no form is linked to the XML file.
Is there a way to change the value of this 'type' property? Then I can set it to "form-based publishing".
Message was edited by: E. van der Palen

Hi,
You should take into account two things:
1. XML Repository filter
System Administration-System Configuration-KM-CM-Repository Filters-choose XML Forms Repository Filter
edit it and add your repository.
After that you have to restart it.
2. Resource Type.
You should modify cm_resourcetype property to set form-based publishing.
You could edit this xml file using form builder and then set this parameter.

Using Third-Party jar file in database; Where to put license file?

Hi!
I have a third-party product that has a .jar file that references some .so files. I have successfully loaded the .jar file and the .so files are being called successfully, but when the program gets to the part where it reads the third-party license file, it is failing (ORA-3113 and an hs_err_pid<12345>.log and udump file are created. I know the issue is the location of the license file because I am getting the same exact error when I run it outside of the database. (I have been able to run it successfully outside of the database.)
The instructions for the third-party product say to put the license file in the application's runtime directory.
What I can't figure out is this: What is the application's runtime directory when I am running the code in the database?
I thought it would be user.dir which is set to $ORACLE_HOME, but putting the license file there didn't work. I have tried lots of other places under $ORACLE_HOME.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Laurel

Hi Laurel:
Whether or not you can read the license file, sure you will have problem then when trying to load your .so file.

Calling a third-party library from JNI-enabled C++ code

Hi everyone,
I have some existing C++ application code that extracts data from a file in a special format (HDF5). This code uses a static library (third party) to decode the file format. I would like to wrap this application code in a JNI wrapper so that I can call the code from Java. So I have a situation like this:
Java front end -> application code (C++) -> static library (C++)
I have compiled JNI headers and modified the application code accordingly. I created a shared library by bundling the application code together with the static library (using gcc 3.2.2 on Red Hat Linux 9):
g++ -shared hdf5_jni.cc -o libhdf5_jni.so -I<include path> -L<static library path> -lhdf5
(the <static library path> contains the static library libhdf5.a). This creates a shared library which contains the application code and the relevant bits of the static library.
When I call the Java front end, the shared library (libhdf5_jni.so) is correctly found and accessed. However, I get an UnsatisfiedLinkError which I don't understand:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: <blah>/lib/libhdf5_jni.so: <blah>/lib/libhdf5_jni.so: undefined symbol: _Z4formPKcz
at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1560)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1485)
... etc
I have no idea what the undefined symbol "_Z4formPKcz" represents. It's not part of the application code or the static library.
Here's some more info that might help diagnosis:
1) The problem seems to be due to the approach of having a three-step process (Java code calling bespoke shared library which includes unmodified 3rd-party code). I get an identical error (including the mysterious "_Z4formPKcz" symbol) when trying to do something similar with a different 3rd-party static library.
2) When I simply have Java code calling C++ code which I have written myself (no calls to static library methods), I have no problems, i.e. there doesn't seem to be a problem with the way I set up the JNI wrappers or the application code, or in the way I create the shared library.
3) When I simply have C++ code calling the static libraries (i.e. no Java wrapper) I have no problems, i.e. there doesn't seem to be a problem with the application code or the static libraries.
4) The static libraries were compiled from source using the same compiler that I used to compile the application code.
5) I'm using J2SDK 1.4.2 on Red Hat Linux 9, although I've tried other versions of the SDK and had the same problem.
I've done a lot of web searches on the "_Z4formPKcz" symbol and have turned up absolutely nothing (zero Google hits!).
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Jon

Thanks chrisswhite,
I should have mentioned that I tried this too and it didn't solve the problem. You're right though, I should be compiling with -fPIC anyway.

Third-party library

Hi, all,
If my servlet or EJB needs to use some third-party classes, how do I let OC4J know ? Do I have to add everything to $OC4J_HOME/lib ?
Thanks
John

That is one way of doing it. Otherwise can you add the librarys to your application library directory and include the jar file into the ear file.
