External jar not included in ear

hi
I created a library dc with an external jar in its public part and this library dc is used in a j2ee library dc (like described in [ Howto embedd external Jar in EAR |;).
my enterprise application project uses a web module dc and this j2ee library dc.
so far..but when I deployed the buildt ear and call my application the classes which are in my external jar file can´t be resolved at runtime.
what´s my fault? has anyone an idea?

Why is charsets.jar not included in jre5?

hi,
i recently decided to using jre1.5.0_9-b01 and wondered why my application that has originally been developed with 1.4.2_12 doesn't support the cp850 encoding anymore.
so i browsed the docs at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html
and found out that beside others the cp850 belongs to an extended encoding set included in lib/charsets.jar.
straight to the point, there is no such charsets.jar in the lib directory of the jre5 installation.
as a temporary fix, i copied the charsets.jar from the 1.4.2 installation and my application works fine again.
so, why is charsets.jar not included in jre5?
best wishes,
r.

It is included...Just not installed by default (in a typical install).
You can go to "start/settings/control panel/add and remove programs" and select the JRE. If you get the option to modify or change and you have "supervisor" rights to your machine, then you can select the "modify or change" option (twice) and add support for additional languages. If there is a little yellow "1" in front of the drive icon, it is not installed. You must select the option and choose the first option on the drop down list...follow through to finish. Make sure you do not have any browser windows open (or anything else which may be using the JRE such as Tomcat). The install builds the charsets.jar. Good Luck

Jars not included in J2EE Library DC SDA

I'm trying to create a J2EE Library DC that contains a few jar files (JUnit and JUnitEE) that I want to upload to the J2EE server for usage by a set of test classes.
I created an external library DC, imported the two jar files into the libraries folder, and added both jar files to both a compilation and assembly public part. I then built the DC. Great, the jar files are copied into the hierarchy under gen/default/public/assembly and gen/default/public/compliation. Everything seems to be in order.
I then created a J2EE Library DC, and added the external library DC as a used DC, with a build and run time dependancy.
When I build the J2EE Library DC, the two jar files are NOT included in the SDA file. Nothing I've tried can get the two jar files to be placed in the SDA file for deployment.
Why why WHY are the jar files not in the SDA? What am I doing wrong? I've spent the last while reading everything I can find on SDN about j2EE Library DCs, and it seems that I'm doing everything correctly - or am I?
I'm running SP16. Can someone verify that a) my procedure above is correct, and b) that this does work under SP16?
FYI, I have done this before, but not with SP16 - this is my first attempt. That said, I've always had problems getting the imported jar files to appear in the final SDA file....it's frustrating to say the least. DCs are wonderful things, but man, when they don't work, it's a royal pain in the rear end trying to figure out what's wrong.

Hmmm, perhaps this is part of the problem: here is the defLib.pp file which is automatically generated when you create a J2EE Library DC:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<public-part ....>
     <name>defLib</name>
     <purpose>compilation</purpose>
     <caption></caption>
     <description></description>
     <entities>
          <entity>
               <name>sap.com~test~lib</name>
               <entity-type>SERVER_COMPONENTS</entity-type>
          </entity>
     </entities>
</public-part>
I created a new Server Library DC and changed the purpose to assembly, and then was able to create an entity reference. However, now I get this error:
createPublicParts:
[pppacker] Packing assembly public part 'defLib'
[pppacker] Packed   0 files for entity sap.com~zzz~lib (SERVER_COMPONENTS)
[pppacker] Packing entity reference zzz/jars (sap.com), assembly: ()
[pppacker] ERROR: java.util.zip.ZipException: Access is denied
(sigh)
I'm not sure what SP you're running, but perhaps the later SP's understand the structure of External Libraries, and automatically propagate the references for you....at least, that must be what was happening with SP15, since it worked properly.
I think I'll install SP15 again, and have close look at the generated public parts, and see if I can't detect a difference.

.jar not including .pngs

I hope I am not asking in the wrong forum, I apologize if I am!
I am working on a rather simple puzzle game and made custom .png files for the game pieces. Now that I finally figured out how to get Java to paint it on the board and work properly I'm having a new problem. If I make a .jar and run it from my machine it runs fine, presumably because the .pngs are stored locally on my machine. If I email the .jar to anyone, when they open the game everything is there except for the game pieces (the .pngs). I am not sure if there is a way to include the .pngs into the .jar file, or if I have to do something altogether different, such as encoding the .pngs. Since my question is faily generalized, and this project is written over many classes, I have decided not to include any code. Let me know what code you need to see and I will gladly and promptly post it.
I greatly appreciate any help given or directions pointed.

If I email the .jar to anyone, when they open the game everything is there except for the game pieces (the .pngs). I am not sure if there is a way to include the .pngs into the .jar file, Yes there is. A Jar can contain PNG, GIF, JPEG or BMP files, TXT, RTF, or HTML. In fact, Jars can store anything intended to be accessed by URL or (by virtue of that) InputStream. You will find that most Java methods that accept a File (or the ones that accept a String that represents a file path/name), will also accept an URL or InputStream. This is handy, since a File object can never point to a resource inside a Jar.
So, to make this happen:
- Put the images wherever you want in the Jar. A common approach would be to put them all into a sub-directory like 'images'.
- When it comes time to access them, form an URL to the resource using ..
URL url = myObject.getClass().getResource("images/image1.png");- Then use the URL in place of whatever you are doing now.
...Since my question is faily generalized, and this project is written over many classes, I have decided not to include any code. Let me know what code you need to see and I will gladly and promptly post it.For 3 reward points? No, please don't post your code.
I hope you can figure it out from what I have put above, but I am not very inclined to revisit this thread.

Export JAR from NWDS does not include external JARs imported to project

Hi.
I'm need to develop and run a batch java program. I'm having difficulty getting the application to find the 2 external JARs at runtime.
For compile time, I have physically imported these 2 JARs into the project. To add them to the build path, I selected "Add Jar". I now see the JARs in the project.
I've also update the Manifest file appropriately by adding this line.
Class-Path: com.sap.security.api.jar logging.jar
However, when running the program from the command line, I get class not found errors.
I noticed that the exported application JAR does NOT contain the needed 2 JARs even though they clearly exist under the project.
Am I going about this correctly? Why do external JARs not get included in the application JAR that is created? Can I somehow force them to be included?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
why don´t you just add the two additional JAR files to the classpath at runtime:
java -cp x1.jar;x2.jar -jar yourJar.jar
This is the easiest way to start your Java app.
Have a look at java - the Java application launcher for details.

Adding all the classes and external jars in webservice WAR using servicegen

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how do I include all the classes and my external jar files to the ear/war file that is created using servicegen. I don't see any option in servicegen tag where I can include my classes and jar files to the ear/war file. The war it creates only contains the web service implementation class but I want to all the classes in the service code and jars in the same war. Any ideas on how to do that instead of putting in the classpath.
here is the snippet of my build file
<servicegen
       destEar="${deploy}/myservice.ear"
       warName="myservice.war">
       <service
         javaClassComponents="com.ws.service.TestService"
         targetNamespace="http://xmlns.test.com/tool/myservice"
         serviceName="myservice"
         serviceURI="/myservice"
         style="document"
         protocol="http"
         expandMethods="True">
       </service>
      <classpath>
        <pathelement path="${classes}"/>
        <pathelement path="${lib}/*.jar"/>
     <pathelement path="C:/bea/weblogic92/server/lib/webserviceclient.jar"/>
      </classpath>
</servicegen>
..........................Thanks

Hi,
The work around I am using to overcome this problem is Unzipping th ear/war file created by servicegen task and including all the classes. Then creating the ear file again by creating a new ant target.
I know this is not a neater way, but this works for me.

DownloadService.loadResource for external jars for 1.6.0-19+

First, be kind with my english, i'm french (nobody's perfect...)
I have a JNLP into which i declare a signed jar resource main.jar. This application retreive at execution a list of signed jar names (+a.jar, b.jar+...) that i dynamically load on my need through DownloadService.loadResource. My a.jar, b.jar are cached and it rules! But if i made a new main.jar, a.jar and b.jar, and deploy them on my server, here what's happend:
- main.jar is tested for modification date on server (thanks to "If-Modified-Since" HTTP header), cache date is before this date, so JWS update main.jar by downloading this new main.jar. This is the behaviour described into specs and it is perfect for me!
- but for others resources (a.jar, b.jar) i was excpected the same behaviour but JWS does not seems to check for modification date. So a.jar and b.jar are not updated.
So my first question: Is there a way to tell to DownloadService.loadResource to check for modification date? i could deal with jar version but this basic date checking was great for me...
Except this cache minor problem, external jar download works just fine except i get the warning security problem [Mixing Signed and Unsigned Code |http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/mixed_code.html].
All my jars are signed with the same certificate, so i was a bit confused.
Anyway, i follow indications and put the Trusted-Only: true attribut into the manifest of main.jar.
But it leads to this exception:
java.lang.SecurityException: Trusted-Only loader attempted to load sandboxed resource from http://monserveur/a.jar
     at com.sun.deploy.security.CPCallbackHandler$ParentCallback.check(Unknown Source)

     at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
     at my.package.a$5.run(a.java:348)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)I found some posts that deal with similar problems but it does not give me a working solution. The difference seems to be the fact that i load external jars (not defined into JNLP).
My JNLP is validated though JaNeLA.
I cannot set a.jar, b.jar as resources into jnlp because i retreive their location during execution...
My JNLP also declare:
<security>
        <all-permissions/>
</security>I think i'm a bit confused with the sandbox notion and the Trusted-Only: true attribut of the manifest. I also tried to add it to a.jar, b.jar and not main.jar but vainly. I also tried to set it on all jars but it does not work better.
Is there a way to load external jar without having the Mixing Signed and Unsigned Code warning popup? What do i not well understand?
Sorry to be so chatty...
Thanks in advanced for any answer.

So, I finally succed in finding a solution.
But this solution seems perhaps a barbarian way to solve my problem but it works.
The idea (as far as i understand) is that when you define "all-permission" into JNLP file, then these permission are granted for JNLP ClassLoader. When you load external jar through DownloadService.loadResource, then another classloader is used. It seems that this classloader does not inherit security policy from JNLP ClassLoader.
My solution is to define my own policy:
Policy.setPolicy(getAllPermissionPolicy());
    * @return a {@link Policy} with all permission granted
   private Policy getAllPermissionPolicy()
      Policy policy = new Policy() {
         private PermissionCollection m_permissionCollection;
         @Override
         public PermissionCollection getPermissions(CodeSource p_codesource)
            return getAllPermissionCollection();
         @Override
         public PermissionCollection getPermissions(ProtectionDomain p_domain)
            return getAllPermissionCollection();
          * @return an AllPermissionCollection
         private PermissionCollection getAllPermissionCollection()
            if (m_permissionCollection == null)
               m_permissionCollection = new AllPermission().newPermissionCollection();
               m_permissionCollection.add(new AllPermission());
            return m_permissionCollection;
      return policy;
   }For sure, you can decline this with permission you need. Here, all permission are allowed.
I'm not quite satisfied because it's seems to be a barbarian style solution. But for now, it fits my uses => no warning popup!
If anybody has a more proper way to deal with such an issue, i'll be glad to hear it!
Hope it helps.

Including External JARs for Java Application in OC4J

Hi Experts,
Here is my requirement.
I have developed my Java application using Tomcat Server & Eclipse. In my application I have used some External JARs & imported the classes in my JSP.
Now that I'm using OC4J Server instead of Tomcat I'v no clue as to where I have copy these External JARs for my application to work.
I have installed OBIEE-Client which includes OC4J server. The path where I have placed my application is as below
*"C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app"*
If I run my application the server does not import the classes in the JSP which we include using Import statement using JSP tags (*ex* - <%@ page import = "org.apache.commons.fileupload.*"%>).
This is the location which I found, where I need to put my Java-J2EE application. This OC4J_BI comes with OBIEE.
Kindly help me out on where to place these External JARs exact location in OC4J.
Also let me know if I have to alter any configuration/xml file (if so pls specify the file name & its location).
Thanks in advance,
Venky

You can either include the external libraries in the application, by placing them into WEB-INF/lib, or you can import them into the server as "shared libraries", normally you'd use the "enterprise manager" application to do this. Having loaded a shared library you then add it to the classpath when you're deploying the application.

How to include external jars - URGENT...

Hi:
I am using Eclipse for development.
My application uses some external jars.
This step is simple in Eclipse, one simply indicates where the jars are to the IDE.
However, when I make an executable JAR file from my project, those external JARs are not included.
So when I run my program, everything is fine until the parts that uses the external JARs.
Does anyone know how to include them outside of Eclipse platform?
I am going to see my client in an hour and of course I can't bring my source and install an Eclipse at my client's computer to show them my demo...
please help... thanx...

You add those external jars to the classpath or the jars classpath if you're running the program from a jar. Or put the external jar to JAVA_HOME\lib\ext (IIRC)

Problem using Jar to include external jars in an application

Ok so, I've just completed a project, and i want to be able to jar it up so its executable by just using the jar file. I can do this, and it will load the first screen. However, i used eclipse to develop it so I just added two files to the eclipse path and it all worked. But when I jar up my application (and include the two external jars in my app), and try to use any class that needs the external jar, it dies and says java.lang.NoClassDefinitionError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet
How do i set it up so it actually finds the classes in the external jar?? Its fairly important that i get this to work :)

If this app is not running as part of Tomcat, you have two options. One, as ejp pointed out, is to put the missing jars into your $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext dir. If you've already tried that and it's not working, then the jars your putting there do not have the necessary classes in them. Use 'jar -tf <jarname>' to see a list of the classes in the jar.
The second approach, which it sounds like you've already tried, is using the Class-Path entry in the Manifest file. You must make sure that the jar you're referencing (servlet.jar) has the missing classes in it, and that the jar is in the same directory as the application jar. Another potential gotcha with this approach is to make sure that the jar is not indexed (they're not indexed by default).

Declare external jars in the manifest in a EAR file

Hi all,
I'm using weblogic 7.0, I build a web service from a java class. So here is the ear file :
- myWebservice.ear - META-INF - application.xml
- myWebservice.ear - META-INF - MANIFEST.MF
- myWebservice.ear - web-services.war - META-INF - MANIFEST.MF
- myWebservice.ear - web-services.war - WEB-INF - classes - ...
- myWebservice.ear - web-services.war - WEB-INF - web-services.xml
- myWebservice.ear - web-services.war - WEB-INF - web.xml
- myWebservice.ear - web-services.war - myWebserviceClient.jar
I hope I'm clear... :)
Actually, I would like to add in the 2nd manifest.mf something like :
Class-Path: ../lib/myTools.jar
myTools.jar is not in the ear file, it is just a relative path.
Can someone tell me is it is possible ? If so, how to do so?
I will appreciate any advice :)
Regards.

No, that doesn't work in J2EE 1.3.
The typical approach would be to include the jar file within the EAR and then in the WAR file, specify a manifest class-path.
If you were using WLS 9.x, then it would be possible to deploy the jar file separately as a library or optional package, but this is not available in 7.0

SJWS SP3 - Not including some jars from war file

I have a problem when deploying my application using the new Java Web Server SP3 that when my application is deployed my weblogic.jar and j2ee.jar are not included in the classpath that is created.
I have turned on finest detail logging and it does not say why these jar files are not being included in the path.
They are in the war files lib dir just like all the other jars(about 14 of them).
The only way I can get the app to run under SJWS is to add these other two files manualy to the classpath in the server.xml file.
This app runs fine under JRun 4.0 with no issues.
Why is this server dropping these jars and not even telling me it did it? What can I do to make it include these files in the proper classpath?
Thx
