How to count number of Java Web Start application downloads?

Hello,
The title says it all. Is there a reliable and secure way to get the number of times my application jars have been downloaded?
Reason: I am trying to determine whether a business model that charges (say) 1 cent, each time a jar is downloaded, is viable.
thanks,
Anil

Hello,
The title says it all. Is there a reliable and
secure way to get the number of times my
application jars have been downloaded?Absolutely, but this will have to be done at the server level. Each time a request for the JNLP file is made, simply log it. But again, I don't think you can/would do this in Java so it's server-specific regarding implementation.
Reason: I am trying to determine whether a
business model that charges (say) 1 cent, each time a
jar is downloaded, is viable.
thanks,
AnilWell, I guess you could log the IP that made the request, because you don't want to charge someone twice if they crash and reload in 5 minutes, right?

    Check your web server's access logs to see how many requests web start is sending for each jar. After you've loaded the application the first time, for each subsequent launch, if you've got everything configured right, you should only see requests for the JNLP file and maybe some gifs because web start should load everything else out of the cache (if you're using the version-based download protocol). Or if you're using the basic download protocol, then you might see requests for each jar file, but even in this case, if your web server is prepared to evaluate the last-updated attribute for each jar request and for jars that have not changed, respond with no actual payload and a header value of Not-Modified, then that should run almost as fast.
    You might also want to consider changing the "check" attribute of the "update" element from "always" to "background" for a couple of reasons. It should allow your app to start sooner (but this means that you might have to launch once or twice after an update is applied to the web server before the update shows up on the workstation). Also, my impression is that "always" is broken and prevents web start from ever checking to see if your jnlp file has been updated if you launch your app from a web start shortcut - launching from a browser is less likely to have this problem, depending on how often your browser is configured to check for updated resources.

  • How to enable logging for Java Web Start on Java 6.

    I'm trying to get logging working in Java Web Start from Java 6. In previous versions I was able to specify a log file in the Java Web Star control panel (or whatever it was called) , but I can't work out what to do in the Java 6 version of JWS. I've checked the docs and searched the forums here and on java.net but haven't been able to find anything.
    Does anybody know how I can get this working?
    Cheers
    Stephen.

    Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't read your e-mail properly. Note: This is a thread in a public forum, not email.
    If it were email, it would be a private conversation,
    between you, me and whoever we add to the addess
    list. ..and you would be paying consulatnacy fees for
    my participation.
    On the public forum, it can be seen by anybody, and
    I don't send you a bill.
    And on that note, when asking for free advice on
    public forums, please read replies carefully (I
    might ask the same of a consultancy client, but
    since thay are paying by the email - it is really
    their own choice).
    ..the problem is that I can't find where the log file
    is being written. Do you know where it writes to?..
    I understand it is specified in the logging.properties
    in the lib of the JRE/JDK. E.G. several locations
    for my current system..
    C:/Program Files/Java/j2re1.5.0/lib/logging.properties

  • How import policy file with Java Web Start

    hi everybody,
    I wrote an application launched by Java Web Start.
    This application encrypt data on the client side and POST them to the server.
    To encrypt I use JCE packages including sunjce_provider.jar, jce1_2_1.jar and
    local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar.
    local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar are not packages, each of them contains
    a policy file.
    When I test encryption on local no problem, but when I test with Java Web Start
    I've got this exception :
    java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError:
    java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot set up certs for trusted CAs
    It's because the application launched by Java Web Start doesn't find local_policy.jar
    and US_export_policy.jar.
    There's a problem in my JNLP file :

    Hi Nicolas,
    If you migrate to JDK1.4 and use the signed Bouncy JAR, you could resolve the problem,
    if you don't want to use unlimited cryptography.
    See my posting on your other question.

    PS. There is a mistake in my other reply, the "local_policy.jar" and the other files must have

  • Java Web Start application failing on my user account

    Hi All,
    I've been tearing my hair out over this for a while and haven't been able to get anywhere wiht it. I've finally cracked and decided to post a plea for help in here.
    Basically, I have a web start application that will not start under my user profile but will under a new account I created. If I try and start it from the terminal with javaws I get "Bus Error" and that's all. Double clicking it gives me a crash dialoge box and the details can be seen here:
    http://pastebin.com/m77b1111f
    As I said before, running it in the other account works fine as does "sudo javaws /path/to/app.jnlp" but I really don't want to have to do that every single time.
    I've deleted the JavaCache folder as well as any ~/Library/Preferences/java.plist all without any joy. Also, I'd like to add that there are a number of other Web Start apps that run without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    Thing is, if there was corruption of something that was system wide, it wouldn't work under a different profile, right?
    Unpredictable as to how lomg it would work on a new account.
    Is this usually the case for a safe boot?
    Yes, it runs fsck_hfs -fy on the whole drive, dumps several caches & so on, the next boot will also take longer than usual as it rebuilds caches & so on.

    I did checked the names again and I found that the makeJar.bat had an "issue".
    It missed the del *.jar and I had 2 uppercase letters like ConvertorValutar, instead of convertorvalutar.jar.
    After that I rebuild the war and deployed and it works :)

  • Java Web Start applications and Gatekeeper

    As more of our customers upgrade to Mac OS X 10.8 or later or purchase new machines we've had to deal with helping more of them work around Gatekeeper for our Java Web Start deployed applications. Many discussions found on the web show the confusion that surrounds this technology and how it interacts with Web Start apps. Most "solutions" suggest various security changes like allowing apps downloaded from anywhere. The one we most often employ is to control-click the JNLP file and choose Open. Then the dialog has an option to "install" the application anyway.
    My take-away from the discussions has been that Gatekeeper is looking for what it considers to be executable code, including JNLP files and Java applets, to be signed via codesign which is stored as an extended HFS attribute and as a result is not transferred over HTTP unless the file is wrapped into some bundle like xip or in a disk image (dmg). Neither of these are a click-and-run experience and move me from the realm of Web Start deployment to just wrapping it up as an Apple app bundle.
    Before OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) was released, Scott K published on the Talking Java Deployment blog an article titled Java applications and Gatekeeper where he suggested the best possible user experience comes from creating an app that is bundled with Java and signed with an Apple Devloper ID using the codesign tool. (Note this is not the same as the code signing from jarsigner in the JAR/META-INF. The article ends, edited, with a statement that Gatekeeper does not apply to command-line tools like java, javac, javah and so on. It has been my experience that it does seem to apply to javaws or whatever is used on the Mac to launch a Web Start app from a JNLP file. It is as if Apple has said they don't trust the Java security model for downloaded dynamic code and are adding an extra restriction that seems to severely limit the "click-and-run" functionality of Web Start or applets.
    Is there anything I can do to get a JNLP file to "just work" for Mac end users like it use to before 10.8 / Gatekeeper?
    Is there anything in the works from Oracle to fix this issue?
    Jacob

    Probably not the case here, but considering it is a development machine it is something to check. The symptoms you describe are exactly what happens when you setup JWS applications to be remotely debugged, and specify suspend=y. In that case, before the application launches, it waits for Eclipse (or some other development environment) to connect to it. I do this all the time and what happens before Eclipse attaches to the process is exactly what you describe. Check the JAVAWS_VM_ARGS to see what VM parameters are being used.

  • Java Web Start Application surprisedly does not start anymore based on new JRE1.7.0_45

    Hi everyone,
    we have to maintain a self-developed Java Application which is running based on JRE1.5.0_51 (x64). Our recent client machines have JRE1.7.0_40 (x64 too) installed in addition to the mentioned (and needed) JRE1.5.0_51 (x64).
    Everything was fine up to the point where we tried to install the newest JRE1.7.0_45 (x64) as the new version for doing the web start magic. The result is that our application (which is/was unchanged!) does not launch anymore. The strange thing is that we do not get any StackTrace, Exception or something else like this.
    The startup process simply hangs :-(
    Nothing has changed (application itself, firewall, network settings, hardware) apart from the new JRE version. It's reproducible at will. If I install JRE1.7.0_40 (x64) the application starts, if I install JRE1.7.0_45 (x64) the application hangs.
    I can say for sure, that in both cases (*_40 AND *_45) Web Start is able to do the synchronizing job and to launch the application base on the correct JRE1.5.0_51 (x64).
    My guess is that in case of an installed JRE1.7.0_45 (x64), the application hangs when it tries to connect to the database (Oracle 11g) via JDBC.
    I found a little hint in the Web Start Console. Therefore I had to switch the trace level of the console to 3 (which includes security, network and basic)
    In case of an installed JRE1.7.0_40 (x64) - which leads to a running application - I will receive the following output:

    These last "network:" log entries will never stop. This will lead to an infinite loop which results in a great memory leak. I have to kill the process via windows task manager in order to get rid of it.
    Does someone out there has the same problem? Are there any new additional security issues which prevent my client to establish the database connection on port 1521?
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any hint on this issue!
    Regards,
    Alex

    Resolution: We still were not able to solve this issue! The only way to get out of this is to install the JRE1.5 as the x64 variant. In this case no switching from 64-bit to 32-bit is needed and everything is on track again.
    But this is still strange and unexplainable :-(

  • "Invalid Keystore Format" with Java Web Start

    I got a user with a "invalid keystore format" problem He's running Windows XP and it happens when our java webstart application is starting up. He had a mix of java 5 and java 6.
    We uninstalled all his javas and deleted his c:\program files\java\jre6\lib\security\cacerts file as suggest by my company's support people and reinstalled java 6 U 22 and he still has the problem.
    The other users don't have a problem.
    How do we get our java web start application on work for him? It a java application and not a java applet.
    He got a new Dell laptop a couple of months ago and it has never worked for him. That model of laptop works for other users.

    the jar containing the native lib (win32com.dll) needed to be under the <nativelib> tag in the jnlp rather than <jar> .. duh!
    fixing that solved the problem :)

  • Java Web Start doesn't run by clicking on the link, how can I fix it?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to make a Java Web Start application, I finished everything, but when I click on the link which is connected to the jnlp file, it only displays the XML code in the explorer instead of running the program. But if i download the jnlp file and double click it, it starts the Java Web Start. Anyone can tell me how to fix this?
    I thought may be JRE installation, but I tried to click on some sample on the web, it works fine for other Java Web Start application, but not mine.
    Thanks you.
    Kit

    Does your webserver know about JNLP? You need to map the .jnlp extension to "application/x-java-jnlp-file".
    See the Web Server Setup section of http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/jnlp/

  • How to package/inlcude C++ .exe and .dll files in a Java Web Start App?

    Hello,
    I have a Java Web Start application that runs fine if the application is only 1 .jar file.
    But I have a need to also run C++ .exe and .dll file from my Java application.
    I wonder if someone could please tell me how to package/include C++ .exe and
    .dll files in my Java web start application?
    Thank you and Best Regards,
    Akino

    You need to place the EXE and DLLs inside the jar.
    Java cannot execute them from the jar. They have to be extracted (see Class.getResourceAsStream) from the jar and copyied into the target machine file system, perahps to the temp directory. Now you can execute them using Runtime.exec() or ProcessBuilder.start().

    Hi,
    I am facing the exact same issue when getting a big jar of more than 7 megs. It seems to occur in some special network configuration that I am not yet able to figure out. It is obviously linked to the fact that the jar is unpacked on the client side.
    Anybody ran into this one and understood the root cause?Please, don't resurrect old threads, and don't use signatures with addresses. I'm locking this thread.

  • Java web start in Windows vista

    Hi,
    1)
    When i tried to launch my Java Web start application in Windows Vista (32bit) With Jre 1.6_06 the java web start did not loaded. the process terminates at certain points.
    By Remote debugging got to know,: It was exiting the application at different points at different time
    At some points it says ClassNotFoundException. No logs at cache location also.
    Is it due to the jars are not loaded properly?? Jnlp is pasted bellow
    2) another problem here is the system did not have the jre installed earlier. how does system identified the jnlp file format if no jre available first time??
    So rather auto download I have installed jre manually and was launching the application
    thanks a lot,

  • Java web start security dialog with Java 7 update 51

    I build a Java Web Start application signed with a valid certificate.
    When I star the application the security dialog appear correctly as show in this figure
    http://www.java.com/en/img/download/trusted_signed.jpg
    My issue is about the "do not show again" checkbox.
    If the attributes href are present in the jnlp tag of the jnlp file the checkbox appear.
    If the attribute are not present, the checkbox doesn't appear and the run needs to be confirmed every time.
    (Example:
    <jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase=
    "http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorialJWS/samples/deployment/webstart_ComponentArch_DynamicTreeDemo"
    href="dynamictree_webstart.jnlp">
    This is a problem because my jnlp file is under a password protected directory and if href is specifed, the Java Web Start application try to retrieve it as the other resources. ( result in access denied because only the browser session is authenticated and the run fails)
    The documentation at Deploying a Java Web Start Application said:
    The codebase and href attributes are optional when deploying Java Web Start applications that will run on at least the Java SE 6 update 18 release or later. You must specify the codebase and href attributes when deploying Java Web Start applications that will run with previous releases of the Java Runtime Environment software.
    What is the right code? With href or without?
    Is this a BUG or a feature?
    How can I show the "don't show again" checkbox without having to specify the href attribute?

    From the documentation at JAR File Manifest Attributes for Security
    If the Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase attribute is present and matches the location from which the RIA is started, then a single host is listed in the Location field for the prompt and the option to hide future prompts is provided.
    This issue is also discussed here: Java Web Start security dialogs with Java 7 update 51 - Stack Overflow
