Embedding video in Java Application

I'm a total newbie, trying to decide if Java is the way to go for our application.
We want to be able to create an interactive application with buttons, drag & drop, data input fields, hot spots, etc
AND also show video... windows format, apple format, flash format.
We want our application to be deployable either as...
1 - a standalone app... running on a system not on a network or the internet
2 - a web app
We want the video player to be embedded in the application and not launch a player in a seperate window... thus we want to maintain as much control within the confines of our application as possible.
MY QUESTIONS:
1 - Will the Java Media Framework allow us to embed movies in our application as described?
2 - Is it fairly easy to code such in our Java application?
3 - Any code snippets around?
4 - Re: Standalone/CD distribution version: Can the JMF be installed along with the application so the client doesn't have to "go out and install more stuff" ??
5 - Re: Web - must the user download and install more stuff... other than the Java Virtual Machine to have the JMF work on their system?
6 - Is the JMF multi-platform... Windows, Apple, Unix/Linux, etc like the JVM ?
thanks for any help on this. Will

Yes all of what you require is doable in Java
Try
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/index.html
Check some of these samples
Also for a web version check
http://java.sun.com/dev/evangcentral/totallytech/jmf2.html
(Haven't studied this myself - but should give you an idea or two)
Platform-wise - check here
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html
In terms of CD distribution - you should be able to package most stuff into a Jar file
Not completely sure as there are 'Windows Performance pack' downloads which I think toake advantage of native DLLs
Have a read around the JMF Installation pages - should answer most of your questions

  • Embedded flash player java application

    Hello
    Is it possible to embed an existing flash movie player into a
    non-top-level Swing JComponent in Java (because this is the
    restriction I have from sun's wonderland, where I want to implement
    this player)?
    Are there any tutorials or code examples for doing that?
    Thanks for your help.
    Kind regards,

    Hi All,
               Will eCATT be able to identify the PDF forms embedded in Webdynpro Java applications.....
    Thanks in Advance

    I think it will not. I am almost sure it will not. Any new complex screens are a challenge to eCATT. Flash, Flex and sometimes even trees.

  • Embedding a java application (servlets) in a portlet

    Hi all,
    We have an existing java application that we want to run as a portlet in our portal internet site. The application is a simple search form, which submits parameters (search criteria) and returns results, from there can click on a few other things and open some documents etc. We want all this to happen in the same portlet window, rather than opening out to a new window. Can someone please advise if this can be done? We are running release 1 of 9IAS (and we can't upgrade to rel 2 yet) with PDK March. We would preferably like to do this without touching/reprogramming the java code. I have seen a couple of conficting posts in this forum about this - some say can be done, some say can't be done. Please advise:
    1. Is there some kind of wrapper that can be applied to keep this app inside the portlet?
    2. What other alternatives are there to getting this java app inside?
    3. Are there any step by step guides to doing this?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks heaps, Sarah

    I have tried the URL services, it displays the page fine within the portlet. Just one problem though. The links that are embedded in the HTML will open new windows when clicked. We want them to stay within the portlet. Does something need to be changed in my xml file? I have
    <renderer class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.RenderManager">^M
    <showPage class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.URLRenderer">^M
    <contentType>text/html</contentType>^M
    <pageExpires>60</pageExpires>^M
    <pageUrl>http://www.oracle.com</pageUrl>^M
    <filter class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.HtmlFilter">^M
    <headerTrimTag>&lt;center</headerTrimTag>^M
    <footerTrimTag>/center></footerTrimTag>^M
    <convertTarget>true</convertTarget>^M
    </filter>^M
    </showPage>^M
    </renderer>^M
    perhaps I need a different renderer? I saw another post had something in the xml :
    <inlineRendering>true</inlineRendering>
    that looks promising. Will that deliver the results I'm looking for? Where does it get added?
    Thanks for any replies. Sarah

  • Embedding Internet Explorer GUI in Java Application

    let me preface this post by saying that i have seen the javatip66 reference on javaworld.com and that has considerable merit. i may end up using that methodology.
    what i would like to be able to do, of course, is to embed JUST the "HTML pane" of IE/Netscape (excluding ToolBar and Address Bar, etc) inside a Java application. i am not an MFC developer, so i'm not sure where to begin looking or if JNI will allow me to hack that dll.--or even if that canvas/panel/whatever can be invoked independently to render a document.
    i have several complete, fully working GUI applications that use the javax.swing.JEditor interfaces to display various mime formatted documents (content types such as "text/html" and "text/plain"). unfortunately, the Java implementations of these Editors don't sync with what everyone is used to in IE/Netscape...to the degree that content is intractably mis-displayed (is that a word?)
    worst case scenario, i will invoke a new browser to display content, but i would prefer to frame those browsers in my applications. thoughts?
    note: one of the primary problems is the the JFC classes support only up to HTML 3.2 which is as good as archaic these days.

    i think you just nailed it. i do imagine that this is the correct forum for this, but i could cross-post to the Swing forum. certainly it is going to require switching on the version of Windows. perhaps we can find a general/create a discussion on integrating ActiveX controls in Java. [man, this is just the most bass ackwards thing ever. hate doing this kind of thing, but it's the "state of the world."] (at least until Sun/3rd party gets a reasonable HTML document renderer.)

  • Vst embedded in java application?

    hi
    I am writing here because I was redirected.
    I would like to know if it is possibile and where to find information and resources to do this:
    calling a vst virtual instrument from a java application displaying it in a frame and controlling it by calls.
    thanks

    vst is for "virtual instrument", a technology from steinberg.
    this kind of programs are dlls and are used in sequencer environments like cubase.
    a vst is a dll file that cubase or this sort of software can load and communicate with by function calls. it has a gui too to tweak its parameters.
    so, I ask someone who knows how all this work to please help with some information.
    thanks

  • Embedding JBoss Naming In My Own Java Application

    Hi all,
    Thanks in advance for taking the time and effort to answer my question.
    I'm trying to embed the JBoss naming server in my own Java application. I'm using the code from version 4.2.1.GA. I've thoroughly read the Java code, and found it a little confusing. Among other classes, I've read the code from org.jboss.naming.NamingService and org.jnp.server.Main. I've been trying for days with no luck. Here's a class from my simplest attempt:
    // Server.java
    package miaJs.server;
    import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
    import org.jboss.naming.NamingService;
    import org.jnp.server.Main;
    import org.quartz.Scheduler;
    import org.quartz.SchedulerException;
    import org.quartz.impl.StdSchedulerFactory;
    public class Server
    * Logger for this class.
    private static final Logger logger =
    Logger.getLogger("miaJs.server.Server");
    * Start the server.
    public void start()
    logger.debug("Server ClassLoader: " +
    this.getClass().getClassLoader().getClass().getName());
    try
    logger.debug("Starting JBoss naming server...");
    Main namingServer = new Main();
    namingServer.start();
    catch (Throwable t)
    logger.error("Error starting Java Job Scheduler: " +
    t.getMessage(),
    t);
    System.exit(1);
    try
    // Register a shutdown hook
    ServerShutdownHook shutdownHook = new ServerShutdownHook();
    Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(shutdownHook);
    catch (Throwable t)
    logger.error("Error adding server shutdown hook: " +
    t.getMessage(),
    t);
    System.exit(1);
    The above example gives me the following NullPointerException:
    lljava.lang.NullPointerException

    I've tried the JBoss forum but it didn't help.
    What I really want is a simple in-memory JNDI server that doesn't have external dependencies. I really hope the JBoss naming service can achieve this.
    Thanks again.

    I'm sorry, we don't generally have that kind of information in this forum. I'd suggest asking the developer of the add-on.

  • Build a java application

    Halo,
    I am totally new to java..Iam basically an electronics student..havnt been to the computer science stream much..I am in need of some help in java..in fact the whole code itself..our project requires building a java application that can show a streaming video ( we have an embedded system(an arm board) that will have a vlc or vls server that will stream video from the webcam connected to the embedded system)..Can anyone please help me with building the application??...I heard that pasting a url to our arm board will suffice, but we have to build the application showing the video..
    Thank You in advance..

    you will have trouble getting help for the following reasons:
    1. people here get many requests to "do my hw" and people hate it, so they wont help you, just flame you
    2. your requirements suck. i dont know what an arm board is, infact i have no idea what you are trying to do
    maybe your request is really simple, and someone might help you. Figure out what your inputs and outputs are, in terms of java, and ask again.

    java.lang.NullPointerException
    i met this error every time if i compile a "BIG " project.（with 1G+  image resources）.   And also ,if you  import 500+ images into Flash CS ...you  know ,its prefix is  "Adobe".
    i guess , it's  because somebody not like "BIG " thing.
    So..on  32bit windows  platform ..i  upgrade my JVM to  1.7 ,and..modified  -XSS value . it will help us ..but not 100% resolved.
    Finally ,i upgrade to  64bit platform ..this problem seems  gone.
    I think ,it's  because of the bad RAM Manager  of  JVM. on 32bit windows machine .it's only can manager 1024M ram .(such a stupid VM).   And  on 64bit platform ..JVM seems  to be d normal.

    }This application works with JFrame, but I want to display the JFrame in a webapplication (JSP Page).
    I'm using Netbeans 6.0 (GlassFish) to create webapplication using Visual Web JavaServer Faces.
    So in summary:
    How can i display the drag and drop application into a JFrame (better in a JPanel) in a webapplication (index.jsp)??
    Hope you can help...
    Thanks in advance...

    So have an applet that opens a JFrame... JSP or not has nothing to do with it, since it's nothing but HTML the client gets.
    You can't have a JFrame embedded in an HTML page. And if you could have an applet but don't know how to get that copied code to fit inside (I mean, content pane is content pane), you might want to consider learning how to do that.
