Deploying Swing: AJAX, WebStart, local install or what?

We have just finished the configuration of WebCream for our customer. They had a large Swing application that they used to install on every user desktop. They wanted to go web-based but obviously didn't want to spend time rewriting the app. We ended up spending a couple of weeks configuring WebCream and writing custom renderers and in the end the app looks better in the browser then it did on the desktop.
Has anyone else used WebCream or a similar product? We've been very successful with it but I don't hear much about other people using it. Are end users OK with something like WebStart? I'm trying to see what deployment models do most people use for Swing applications, especially your typical database-driven apps.

HT5071 Is it possible to call a locally installed ibook from a hyperlink? What about to a bookmark?

Is it possible to call a locally installed ibook from a hyperlink? What about to a bookmarked page?
I have 2 questions..
1. Can I send a link via email that when launched will open an ibook that has already been downloaded to the bookshelf?
2. If question 1 is possible, can I take it a step further and call a bookmark, i.e. chapter 3.
Our company has it's own appstore and I want to send out links to sections of the ibooks using bookmarks or at the very least take them to the start of the ibook.
I don't need to give them a link to install the ibook as they already have it installed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Chris.

That would be cool, but it's not possible. The ibook is not accessible by URL in the user's bookshelf.

JNLP javaws error: requested version of JRE...not locally installed

Greetings,
First: I am a user not a developer and have very limited understanding of JDK, JRE, and Java Web Start. I just want to figure out how to get these applications to run. I suspect it is a JAVA bug that is peculiar to my particular Windows XP-SP2 system configuration.
My Problem: When trying to run (two different/independent applications) java web start applications, I get the following error.
The application has requested a version of the JRE (version 1.4) that currently is not locally installed. Java Web Start is unable to automatically download and install the requested version. This JRE must be installed manually.+
For reference, the Launch file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</jnlp>
I should note that the required JRE is installed. I have various builds of versions 1.4 through 1.6 installed on my laptop. And my gut tells me that it is not the JNLP file that is the problem. I believe it to be a problem (bug) with java, JRE, or javaws that shows up with my particular PC configuration (which I did not set up but don't believe is particularly unusual).
Another interesting and possibly related problem, is that when I goto the java application control panel (Start->Control Panel->Java) and select the "Java" tab, there is a lower section for "Java Application Runtime Settings". If I slect the "View" button a screen appears with two tabs: User and System. There are no entries under either tab. I can "Add" an entry under the user tab (and find the path to the correct java version etc.) and "Apply" the settings. I cannot add anyting under the system tab (even the my user ID is part of the administrator group and should have full system access). Even after applying this change, I still cannot run the java web start application. If I close the control panel and reopen it, the JRE path that I "added" is no longer listed under "View". This seems odd behavior. It is as if there is some configuration file or environment variable somewhere that is not getting set/saved.
Please....is there anyone that has seen this problem and has a suggested fix. I have googled this problem and found a very few seemingly relevant pieces of info but it seemed more of a developer issue and I do have the background to understand the proposed fixes.
Thanks, in advance, for your assistance.

I have the same error message, just a different java version:
I have Java 6 installed, but the application wants 1.5 or newer :O

Just installed Arch - what now?

I just finished successfully installing archlinux - What now?
I had a quick peek at the wiki but it wasn't very helpful.
Playing around I couldn't get a single package to install - no x.org or kde. pacman kept coughing up a load of errors - for instance when I tried to do pacman -Syu it told me that it couldn't sync with the belnet mirrors for core, extra and community packages. 'failed to synchronize ... transient resolver error '
This can't be a repo problem because I installed it using internet files.
The fact that I can't even start to use it is frustrating - even grub didn't seem to pick up my windows partition even though the grub list looked fine and I installed it to the right harddrive afaik.
Any help? (especially for getting x.org and kde running! (or any packages installable for that matter!))

First: Welcome to Arch!!
The best point to start is the Beginners Guide in the Wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide
By the way: a lot of questions can be answered by searching the wiki.
Regarding your grub problem: Add this to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file:
# Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
The string (hd0,0) points to my windows partition, which is the first partition on the first hard drive (counting starts with 0)
You see i'm sure those lines were in the grub boot list, but I will double check.
EDIT: Ah. They were commented out. Fixed this problem
I tried changing the mirrors for pacman to use, but it still made errors:
Warning current locale is invalid; Using default "C" locale
:: synchronising package databases...
error : failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.parrswood.manchester.sch.uk : transcient resolver failure
It says this for all of them, and did for the belnet mirror as well.
When I try to ping google it says unknown host - does that mean that my network isn't set up properly?

How can a locally installed application br launched from a browser

Hi
I want to launch a locally installed java based swing application from my browser. How can I do this.
BR
Omair

Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I concern, you can't. However, If you're trying to acomplish it using an enterprise or a web application, you could test something like this at some point of your source code:
Process swingProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"java", "-Xmx=256m", "-jar" "-cp", "<classpath-jars-dirs>", "mySwingApp.jar"});
Hope this helps...

How do I change a local install of NW 7 to a domain install (X64 & SQL)

So I was following my notes and it said to log into the server under the administrator to install the NW7 platform. So I did but I logged in as the local Administrator and not the domain Administrator which I have now found this is wrong for our environment.
I have almost a fully configured Development system and I really can't afford to uninstall and reinstall under the domain admin.
From comparing a Domain install to a local install I see I need to
if a have local users pedadm & SAPServicePED (being PED is the system)
I need to create domain users with these names and the same password
create a NT Group SAP_PED_GlobalAdmin
Add the domain group SAP_PED_GlobalAdmin to the new domain users
On the server where the system is installed changed the
SAPOsCol to use the domain pedadm account
SAPPED_00 to use the domain SAPServicePED account
In SQL Server add the 2 new domain accounts and make them both sysadmins and make their home database the system database (in this case PED)
So at this stage all the Windows /SQL config is all done but how do I tell SAP to use the domain accounts and not the local account. I would suspect there is at least a database string her somewhere.
Can anyone help with the last bit.

Cheers
In the end the missing parts where
Delete old users from SQL Server (DO NOT DELETE THE SYSTEM USER FROM SQL SERVER)
Add the new domain users to the local administrator group of the server running the SAP system.

Referencing a "locally installed" Java applet from a server-based HTML page

How does one reference a "locally installed" Java applet from a server-based HTML page (i.e. via the applet, object, or embed tags)? I have seen references in documentation that this is possible, but I have not seen any examples. I have tried a few things, but nothing seems to be working.
Some background...
I'm working on a web site that aggregates Internet video. For many users, I would like the site to work "without" requiring Java to be installed (or any prompts, etc.). This version of the site allows users to stream videos directly over the Internet and does not require any sort of access to the local system.
However, in addition, I have a download manager that can be installed on the local system. Currently, it's a Windows-based "service" that is always running in the background, downloading files, etc. (with plans to later support other OSes).
My dilemma is trying to communicate between my web site running in the local browser (executing JavaScript code) and the download manager. I call this component the "gateway". I need the gateway to be able to do the following:
1) Pass user credentials from the web browser UI to the download manager (so it can communicate with my servers).
2) Check the status of downloaded videos
3) Launch a local media player (such as Windows Media, QuickTime, etc.) (or perhaps tell the download manager to launch the media player).
Under Windows XP, I have an ActiveX control that can do these things. It communicates with the download manager via reading/writing to a shared XML configuration file.
Unfortunately, under Vista and IE7 Protected Mode, ActiveX controls have become very restricted and my gateway no longer works. As such, I am looking at using Java for the gateway (also giving me the additional benefits of supporting additional browsers and OSes).
From my understanding, I believe I can created a "face-less" Java applet, whose methods can be called from JavaScript. Ideally, I'm thinking I could install the applet onto the local system at the same time the download manager is installed. This would give the applet the security permissions it needs to communicate with the download manager.
Thanks for any help and suggestions!

Local Install of Oracle DB 10g Release 2 (10.2) problem

Good day,
I have a small problem. I am attempting to install a local instance of the Oracle database 10g r2 (10.2.0.1.0) on a laptop running Windows XP Pro /sp3. When I installed the database I was not connected to my company network. The installation was successful and I was able to connect to the local DB just fine. Now I am connected to the company network and am getting the error: '*ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor*'. I am able to connect to the databases on the network, but not to my local install. If I disconnect from the network, I can connect to my local install just fine. I realize it is most likely a configuration issue but I am at a loss as to how to fix this. I would very much like to connect to my local install while logged into the network. I have searched the forums and Google for a solution but have not found a situation that closely matched mine and the suggested solutions did not help. Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
