Finding loaded Class file from particular Jar

Hi,
I have multiple jars containing same class file.
How can I find out that the loaded Class file belongs to particular jar?
Thanks
madan

In most cases it's possible with ProtectionDomain and CodeSource:ProtectionDomain pd = YourClass.class.getProtectionDomain();
CodeSource cs = pd.getCodeSource();
if (cs != null) {
System.out.println("It came from " + cd.getLocation());
} else {
System.out.println("Location unknown.");
}For further information see

Tomcat6 does not load class files from WEB-INF/lib/myjarfile.jar WHY???

I have placed my jar file in c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\lib\myjarfile.jar
But, after restarting tomcat6, when i try to import the class file contained in the myjarfile.jar in a servlet, it says
ProcessFileUpload.java:4: package test.test1 does not exist
import test.test1.*;
^It clearly tomcat's class loading problem.
As i unzipped my jar and placed the packagefolder structure to
c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\classes\testand it works perfectly.
Anyone knows its workaround? please suggest if any configuration changes is required in tomcat or so.
Thanks.

Thank you gimbal2 . There was error in creating the jar file myjarfile.jar.
But, now I have created it again and placed it in place
c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\lib\myjarfile.jarand tried to use one on the Class file included within the jar to compile my servlet. But, still I am getting error at servlet compilation time. I want to place executable jar files in
c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\lib\myjarfile.jar and compile my servlet and execute the servlet.
I DO NOT WANT TO unzip the jar, placing all unzipped files to

Can't load sql file from inside jar file?

hi all
i have a sql file inside my jar file
and i want to get the path of the sql file to use it in runtime command to restore a sql dump file
i used the following but it doesn't work:
the path contains invalid characters such %20% instead of and?
URL url2=getClass().getResource("backup.sql");
String str1=url2.toString().substring(10);
String command="cmd.exe /c c:\\wamp\\mysql\\bin\\mysql -u root --password=anasa library < "+str1;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);is this way is wrong?
or there's an alternative way?

How is the system to pull the data out of the jarfile?
That redirection symbol means to take the information from the file, or here document, or command output that comes after it, but you don't have any of those. It will read that String as if it is a file name, but a file under that name doesn't exist. And, after you've changed it like you have, it doesn't even reference anything inside of a jar file anymore (not that the command could have used that anyway).
If you insist on doing something like this, then you are going to need to read it with getInputStream and write it out somewhere (probably to a temp file) then use that tempfile and delete it when you're done.

How to get .class files from a JAR at runtime

Hi. I wrote a program that load the classes it find in the "prog/components" directory. It enables me to add new components without messing with the code of the main program. Everything worked fine when wrote a batch file - but I want to create a JAR file. In the Batch file I gave the path to those files for the class loader in a loop, and it was "prog.components/" + filename[i] (I get the file names by using a FileFilter).
My question is - how can I obtain the files in the prog/component directory inside the JAR? WHen I left it as it was in the BATCH it didn't work because there wa no prog/component dir outsiede the JAR. What should I do?

Thanks man, that was really helpful! I wrote some piece of code that inserts the file names I want to an ArrayList. However, I wonder how you would make the program list all the files in the "prog.jar/prog/components/" directory? I think your code would be better tahn mine since you've coped with it before. Could you write the code snippet?

Missing class file from tools.jar file!

I have been playing around with the code:
import com.sun.tools.javac.v8.JavaCompiler;
import com.sun.tools.javac.v8.util.Context;
import com.sun.tools.javac.v8.util.List;
public class Compiler {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JavaCompiler compiler = new JavaCompiler(new Context());
List list = new List();
list = list.append("Hello.java");
try {
list = compiler.compile(list);
} catch (Throwable t) {}
I am running into a problem with the statements:
import com.sun.tools.javac.v8.util.Context;
JavaCompiler compiler = new JavaCompiler(new Context());
The compiler tells me that Context does not exist. I checked the tools.jar file
and sure enough Context did not exist! Can somebody point me in the right direction as to what I can do to fix this problem!
Thanks

Put the jar in your class path.

Can't find class file from com.sap.tc....progmodel.context.AttributePointer

Hi. I developed a project with an older version of SAP NetWeaver and Web Dynpro and have now updated to newer versions (SAP NetWeaver 7.1).
I now tried to reimport the project and have 2 errors, i can't solve.
"The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.AttributePointer. Fix the build path then try building this project"
"The type com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.AttributePointer cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files"
Does anybody know, how I can fix these problems?
Thanks, Tobias

Loading property files from a class and not a servlet...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a good solution for loading property files from a class instead of a servlet. I would like to load the property file similarly to how it is done from HttpServlet.
Here is the large picture. I have a tag library that calls a class which needs to access a database. The class needs to know what DB to access so it needs to look at some property file. The problem is that I don't want to hardcode the properties or the path of where the property file exists. I hope this all makes sense.
Thanks.
-PV

I use the getResource method in the java.lang.Class class. Read about this method in the api.
Anyways this is roughly how it's : you must put your properties file in the classpath. Then in your class :
Properties prop = new Properties();
URL url = this.getClass().getResource("/config/db.properties");
prop.load(url.openStream());In this case, you must put the "config" (where you've written your db.properties file) directory's parent in the classpath.

I have transferred a load of files from my PC to my iMac using the migration assistant. The message on both machines say that the process was successful bu tI can not find the files on the mac. Any ideas?

I have transferred a load of files from my PC to my iMac using the migration assistant. The message on both machines say that the process was successful but I can not find the files on the mac. Any ideas?

When you use Migration Assitant it creates another user account and puts your files there. Please log out of your normal account and log into the new account. Had you use Setup Assistant when it asked if you were migrating that would not have occured. You have a couple of options, combine the two accounts (not recommended) or start over, use Setup Assistant and have everything in one user account. Here is a link to Pondin's guide for Lion Setup Assistant tips however if you want to combine the two accounts he has addressed that in

Unable to load properties file from filesystem

Hi,
I have a client swing-applicatiion packaged in a jar-file. The application uses some resource files, including a xxxx.properties file to set defaults for the application. All resource files are included in the jar file and everything works as expected. I load the xxxx.properties file as follows:
is_ = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/resources/xxxx.properties");
Because it is not possibl to change any property values inside the jar-file without recreating this jar-file, i want to exclude the xxxx.properties file from the jar-file and put it in the folder containing the jar-file.
So i have:
drive:/folder/app.jar
drive:/folder/xxxx.properties
Now i read the xxxx.properties file from disk in stead of the 'resouce'-folder within my application (jar):
is_ = getClass().getResourceAsStream("drive:/folder/xxxx.propoerties");
but it doesn't work, the file isn't found.
What am i missing here?
Any suggestions?

The best way to approach this is to include the properties file in the Jar as you originally did. If the user changes any property, save the entire set of properties to a sub-directory of user.home (perhaps based on the package name of the main class). Check for the copy in user.home before using the 'default' properties built into the Jar.
Other places/ways to store the changed information.
- java.util.prefs.Preferences
- Assuming the app. has a GUI and can be deployed over a network, the JNLP API PersistenceService. Here is a demo. of the PersistenceService (http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#ps).
Edit 1:
I did not at first notice that this post was in Java Applet Development.
<li> Applets can also (theoretically) use cookies to store information. This is prone to failure when users disable cookies.
<li> To store information on the local file system (e.g. in user.home) or to use Preferences (AFAIU) would require trusted code.
<li> If the user has the Next Generation Java Plug-In (Java 1.6.0_10+) it is possible to leverage the JNLP API services in an embedded & sand-boxed applet.

Unable to read a .gif file from a jar

I have made an application which requires some .gif images.
I packed all the classes and .gif's in a jar file.
I have used no package statement in files, all are in one folder.
While retrieving the .gif file from the jar I have used..
Image img1 = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("Lock.gif"));
ImageIcon i1=new ImageIcon(img1,"No Users");
but this does not works and throws nullpointer exception.
I have also tried getClass().getResource() etc.
But none of the methods are working..
Plz. help.
Nimesh

Is the class that is loading the image contained in a package? If the resource name does not start with a forward slash, it is interpreted as relative to the package of your class(when doing getClass().getResource())

Reading an xml file from a jar file

Short question:
Is it possible to read an xml file from a jar file when the dtd is
placed inside the jar file? I am using jdom (SAXBuilder) and the default
sax parser which comes with it.
Long Question:
I am trying to create an enterprise archive file on Weblogic 6.1. We
have a framework that is similar to the struts framework which uses it's
own configuration files
I could place the dtd files outside the jar ear file and specify the
absolute path in an environment variable in web.xml which is
configurable through the admin console.
But I want to avoid this step and specify a relative path within the jar
file.
I have tried to use a class which implements the entityresolver as well
as try to extend the saxparser and set the entity resolver within this
class explicitly, but I always seem to sun into problems like:
The setEntityresolver method does not get called or there is a
classloader problem. i.e. JDOM complains that it cannot load My custom
parser which is part of the application
Vijay

Please contact the main BEA Support team [email protected]
They will need to check with product support to determine
the interoperatablity of Weblogic Server with these other
products.

Beginner: Can't convert a hello.class file into a jar file: HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi, I created a hello.java file, converted into a hello.class file by using the java 2SDk compiler. The problem is that the hello.class file is in a directory I created: C:\JavaBuilder\hello.class
I have a problem converting the hello class file into a jar file. I don't know which approach to take. I've looked at tutorials...but I keep getting more confused each time I view the tutorials on creating jar files. Please can someone help..by taking me through a step by step process. Please be explicit and do not leave or assume that I know any details because I'm a new born beginner. Thank you very much, I seriously appreciate it.

Hi i did as you suggested, only with these exceptions:
jar -cvf hello.jar C:\JavaBuilder\hello.class
I did this and got the message: "adding : C:\JavaBuilder\hello.class (in=1150) (out=708) (deflated=38%)"
The problem is that when I tried to execute the jar file...by typing: " java -jar hello.jar" I received the error message: "Failed to load Main-Class Manifest attribute from hello.jar" Is there any way to correct this problem? please help, thank you.

Executing class files from a Java App dynamically

Hi!, Is there any way i can execute java .class files from my Java Application dynamically. I know that java uses Dynamic method Invocation. Is that true of class files generated using some other language compiled for the JVM.
In my case i would like to make a Web browser that interprets HTML and also java applets embeded in them. I would like to use the JRE of the platform execute the applets for me rather than writing the code for my Browser to interpret the class files.
Thanks in Advance.

You just need a custom class loader to bring these applets into your JVM.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Security/Fundamentals/magercises/URLClassLoader/index.html
Then you can use the methods of java.lang.Class to create an instance of such a class. As soon as you have it, you can just treat it as a regular Applet and invoke init(), stop() etc. appropriately.
If you want to execute anything else than conventional Applets, you might consider reflection to find out about methods implemented:

ITunes 10.5.3, Unable to Load Class Data from Sync Services, Crashes Repeatedly

Ever since iTunes 10.5.3 on my Windows 7 x64 box, I've been having serious problems keeping iTunes running:
1) Any time I connect my iPhone or iPad, or any time they attempt to sync over WiFi, I get the 'Unable to load class data from sync services' error. It's worth mention that the iPhone or iPad do actually then proceed to sync correctly, and all media / data is synchronized successfully, as far as I've been able to tell. I've reset sync history, restored the iPhone and iPad, manually moved the SyncServices directory, set both the iPhone and iPad up as new, completely uninstalled iTunes and the mobile device software, re-installed, and *nothing* I do fixes this issue or even seems to impact it. Uninstalling iTunes 10.5.3 and reinstalling iTunes 10.5.2 resolves this error.
2) iTunes 10.5.3 has serious crashing problems on my machine, though I've searched through forums and found a lot of other people with the problem. In my case, sporadically as iTunes access the iTunes store (for example, I can always make it happen by subscribing to the Diggnation podcast and telling it to refresh the podcast), I get a full application crash which generates the following event in the event log:
Faulting application name: iTunes.exe, version: 10.5.3.3, time stamp: 0x4f14cc3d
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17651, time stamp: 0x4e211319
Exception code: 0x80000003
Fault offset: 0x0001280c
Faulting process id: 0x564
Faulting application start time: 0x01cce78789dc009a
Faulting application path: D:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: ecc77400-537a-11e1-b809-00248c196007
Again, uninstalling iTunes 10.5.3 and re-installing iTunes 10.5.2 fixes this issue as well, but I really shouldn't have to do that. Is there any actual solution to these problems other than dowgrading to an older version?
Yes, I'm running current malware protection (and my system is clean) and yes, I've already checked any other obvious culprits to make sure I don't just have a corrupt library or file somewhere that's causing it. My Windows 7 install is completely up to date from a Windows Update perspective and also from a driver perspective (even including the motherboard and chipset drivers). I made sure to do a system file integrity check (sfc /scannow) and it confirmed my install of Windows isn't suspect, but beyond all that I was able to reproduce these failures on a completely separate machine running Windows 7 x64, without any of my media library or data on it -- iTunes 10.5.3 just seems to be bad news on Windows 7 x64 for me, even though I know there are definitely people are using it successfully. I don't get any other application crashes for any other applications, and I've never had an issue like this with any previous version of iTunes...
Last but not least, in case it matters, I'm running iOS 5.0.1 on both the iPhone4 and the iPad2. The iPhone4 is the GSM AT&T model and the iPad2 is the CDMA Verizon model.

OK, I've given up. Uninstalled iTunes 10.5.3 permanently. It's a shame, 10.5.2 works perfectly but 10.5.3 is a complete and total cluster for me.
Anyone with the same problems who hasn't done this already, just uninstall iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Service in your Add/Remove Programs, then re-install iTunes 10.5.2. You won't lose your library or any settings or apps, it will just go back to working again.
I wish Apple would acknowledge this so that I'd at least know it would be fixed in the future.
