How to deploy a bunch of jar files

All,
I am just after downloading iPlanet App Server and have been trying to find information on how to deploy a bunch of packaged jar files.
Basically if anyone can help it would be great, my problem is that I have a number of jar files that make up an application that I developed a while ago, I was using the 9ias app server but have decided to try out the iPlanet app server. Now what I need to know is how do I put the jar files onto the server for deployment???I had a look at the deployment tool but it would not allow me to deploy any of my jar files????Also a couple of the jar files I want to put into the class path, so where is that?
Any help would be fantastic
Thanks in advance
J

the first thing, that I suppose you know, is that iPlanet needs an extra xml file. If your jars have this exta xml file , the only thing is to use the iasdeploy command line to deploy your jars fles

How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
When I create the project I get these files:
dist/lib/libreria1.jar
dist/lib/libreria2.jar
dist/software.jar
The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
libreria1/libreria1.jar
libreria2/libreria2.jar
libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
I added the following code to the build.xml:
<target name="-post-jar">
<jar jarfile="dist/software.jar">
<zipfileset src="${dist.jar}" excludes="META-INF/*" />
<zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria1.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />
<zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria2.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="pacco.classeprincipale"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
Of course there is also the project folder:
src/pacco/classeprincipale.form
src/pacco/classeprincipale.java
Can you tell me what is wrong? The error message I get is as follows:
C:...\build.xml:75: Problem creating jar: archive is not a ZIP archive BUILD FAILED (total time: 2 seconds)

How to create and use library JAR files with command-line tools?

Development Tools -> General Questions:
I am trying to figure out how to put utility classes into JAR files and then compile and run applications against those JAR files using the command-line javac, jar, and java tools. I am using jdk1.7.0_17 on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7.
I have posted a simple example with one utility class, one console application class, and a Makefile:
http://holgerdanske.com/users/dpchrist/java/examples/jar-20130520-2134.tar.gz
Here is a console session:
2013-05-20 21:39:01 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ cat src/com/example/util/Hello.java
package com.example.util;
public class Hello {
    public static void hello(String arg) {
     System.out.println("hello, " + arg);
2013-05-20 21:39:12 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ cat src/com/example/hello/HelloConsole.java
package com.example.hello;
import static com.example.util.Hello.hello;
public class HelloConsole {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
     hello("world!");
2013-05-20 21:39:21 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ make
rm -f hello
find . -name '*.class' -delete
javac src/com/example/util/Hello.java
javac -cp src src/com/example/hello/HelloConsole.java
echo "java -cp src com.example.hello.HelloConsole" > hello
chmod +x hello
2013-05-20 21:39:28 dpchrist@desktop ~/sandbox/java/jar
$ ./hello
hello, world!I believe I am looking for:
1. Command-line invocation of "jar" to put the utility class bytecode file (Hello.class) into a JAR?
2. Command-line invocation of "javac" to compile the application (HelloConsole.java) against the JAR file?
3. Command-line invocation of "java" to run the application (HelloConsole.class) against the JAR file?
I already know how t compile the utility class file.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
David

I finally figured it out:
1. All name spaces must match -- identifiers, packages, file system, JAR contents, etc..
2. Tools must be invoked from specific working directories with specific option arguments, all according to the project name space.
My key discovery was that if the code says
import com.example.util.Hello;then the JAR must contain
com/example/util/Hello.classand I must invoke the compiler and interpreter with an -classpath argument that is the full path to the JAR file
-classpath ext/com/example/util.jarThe code is here:
http://holgerdanske.com/users/dpchrist/java/examples/jar-20130525-1301.tar.gz
Here is a console session that demonstrates building and running the code two ways:
1. Compiling the utility class into bytecode, compiling the application class against the utility bytecode, and running the application bytecode against the utility bytecode.
2. Putting the (previously compiled) utility bytecode into a JAR and running the application bytecode against the JAR. (Note that recompiling the application against the JAR was unnecessary.)
(If you don't know Make, understand that the working directory is reset to the initial working directory prior to each and every command issued by Make):

How to deploy a project to EAR file

Hi,
I am a new bee to Jdeveloper. Could some body give me hints how to deploy my project to EAR file as I need to handover that EAR file to my admin to deploy it on the Application server.
I am following these steps
right clicked on the project >> click NEW >> Deployment profiles >> select EAR file from the right hand side and click OK >> given the deployment profile name as Jobmanage
And selected the path as C:\Oracle_Jdeveloper\jdev\mywork\MANAGEJOB\Project and clicked OK >> and given the application name as Jobmanage and pressed OK>>
In the Deploy folder of the project the EAR project is created but it is only 7 KB which is normally above 4 MB.
And it automatically creatig a file underneath RESOURCES >> Jobmanage.Deploy
Cheers,
Krishna

More specifically,
- create a WAR deployment profile (New... -> General -> Deployment Profiles -> WAR File)
- create an EAR deployment profile (New... -> General -> Deployment Profiles -> EAR File)
- double-click on the EAR deployment profile and tick the check box for the WAR deployment profile.

How to compress a bunch of .java files into a single .jar file?

Hello everyone! I am working on a Chinese segmentation job. Someone offers very excellent
such tool. When I copy his example, I find it imports
          import org.apache.lucene.analysis.Analyzer;
          import org.apache.lucene.analysis.Token;
          import org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream;
          import org.mira.lucene.analysis.IK_CAnalyzer;I have downloaded IK_CAnalyzer.jar file which contains org.mira.lucene.analysis.IK_CAnalyzer class.
I find that I need to download lucene, thus I went into the following website
http://lucene.apache.org/#06+May+2008+-+Lucene+Java+2.3.2+availableand downloaded the lucene-2.3.2-src.tar.gz. Aftre unzip, I found all java source files in java directory (and in many other different subdirectories). Now it seems I need to compile all the src files and compress them into a single .jar file while keeping their original hierarchy unchanged
I think I should use jar command and with some additional options.
Can anyone show me how to do that?
Many thanks!
Edited by: aaron9979215 on Jul 12, 2008 5:17 AM

Thanks for reply, I?ve read that tutorial before I post. Howevver, it do tells how to compress a jar file.
The question I have is how to compile two .java file stored in different packages like
rootPackage-->subPackage-->a.java
rootPackage-->subPackage2-->b.java
I want to compile a,java and b.java both and keep their hierarchy like rootPackage.subPackage.a unchanged. If I directly go into subPackage and compile a.java, I think the hierarchy is changed.
What do you think about it?

How to include grouplayout in my .jar file.

Hello,
I have a program that works great on my comptuer and the one in my lab. I would like to deploy this .jar file to other systems, but these other systems are only running JRE 1.5.0_10-b03. The problem, as I understand it, is that swing.grouplayout first appeared in JRE1.6.XX so these older versions don't have the proper librairies to run this.
How do I include the grouplayout class with my .jar file. I have searched all over my HDD and cannot find the grouplayout class file to include. Am I on the right track?
Thanks!

Deploying applications w. Jar files

I'm experiencing extreme difficulties trying to deploy my application using a jar. I use a file and an image in my app, so I want to include them in the Jar file and I want my app to use the files from the jar.
So my question is: how do I do this? And is it possible to do it in such a way that I can (test)run my app without having to create a jar file each time I want to test s.thing.
I found a lot of suggestions on the internet but after hours of fruitless hacking and slashing I ask you for an example that does the trick, and REALLY does the trick... I'm quite desperate :(
BTW: I use eclipse 2.0
Thank you very much in advance!

True, it often is someone's own fault, but after many tries one fails to see his own errors. But your answer does not help me. For example: if I use:
File f = new File("map.map");
FileInputStream fIn = new FileInputStream(f);
ObjectInputStream objIn = new ObjectInputStream(fIn);
while in an IDE I can succesfully run my app. But if I make a jar (which holds the map.map file) and try to execute the same code, I get the error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: map.map (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:103)
at Display.PlayField.<init>(PlayField.java:27)
at Display.PlayField.main(PlayField.java:51)
See, that's my problem :(

Very Easy Question: How to view source code of JAR file

Hi Experts,
1) Can we can see the content of JAR file?
2) How we can we see content of JAR file?
3) I have with me JAR file. It is sap.compcui_gpoadp~ObjectAndDataProvider.JAR. I have to make some changes in the JAR file source code. How I can find the source code?
I tried to see the source code using NWDS. However, I can not see the code.
Regards,
Gaurav

You cannot do this by simple repacking/rearchiving of JAR, because it contains special descriptor with fingerprint. In general, JAR is unmodifiable, however, you can create a new one with modified sources.
You can try to import the JAR in some Java project in Eclipse, for example. Then make your changes and use the Eclipse's Export JAR wizard in order to repack the modified source Java files in a new JAR.

I general, yes, the operation is allowed. However, you cannot do this with JAR deployed on some J2EE server or Portal, for example. Because there are references to it.

Gary wrote:

Yes, sure. Use Import from Archive wizard in Eclipse. Or add the JAR in the class path of some Java project and Eclipse will show you the content of it.

How do i find and download jar files?

I have some old code and it uses import com.sun.java_cup.internal.parser
When compiling gives error on this.
Googleing this shows that its part of the rt.jar file. rt.jar is in the jre/lib folder. That is part of my classpath but still wont compile how do i find what an import belongs to and where can i download these jar files..
Java really is not a friendly language to me.

You don't need to download the rt.jar or do anything with it since it's an integral part of the JRE. If a class isn't there, then because you have too old a JRE/JDK and it's not there yet, or because it was never part of the public API and is gone now.
When I google, I only find references to Java 6. So you probably need that, which means the sources can't be sooo old.

How to put Chinese character in jar file by java.util.jar.Manifest?

Now I want to develop a simple package tool which can modify some property in manifest.mf of jar files,but the Manifest class's putValue method only can correctly save English character.why?
And how can I put Chinese character?
the code is:
Attributes ab = mf.getMainAttributes();
ab.putValue("agent-Name", agent);

Attribute values can contain any character and it will be UTF-8 encoded when written to the manifest, according to Javadoc.
What makes you think that this mechanism fails? What do you see instead of the Chinese character? And what tool/editor/program you use to see it? I did not try myself, but according to the Javadoc there should be no problem.

How to access images in a jar file

Hello,
I am currently developping a swing application that uses icons (gif files) and I have zipped all my classes and images in a single .jar file.
When I try to access those files it doesn't work ... it seems that I am not using the right way ...
Could anyone explain me how to achieve this ?
thanks in advance

I get the Images from jar file to set ImageIcon for my components like this:
ImagesLocator.getImage("imageName.gif");

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
* Load images from correct place (directory or JAR file) into GUI.
public class ImagesLocator
     * Load image from correct place (directory or JAR file).
     * @param imageName name of image to be loaded (with no path)
     * @return loaded image
     public static ImageIcon getImage(String imageName)
          ClassLoader cl = ImagesLocator.class.getClassLoader();
          ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon(cl.getResource(imageName));
          return i;

Ok I was able to make my JAR and launch my application correctly. However whenever I click a button that has a method using my external library I get the following error:

I do not get this error when I run and use my program from within the IDE.
The JAR that has my external library (and has the class for POIFileSystem) is also on my D drive and i referenced it correctly (I think) In my classpath:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
     <classpathentry kind="src" path=""/>

How to retrieve resources from a jar file ?

Hello,
Currently, I have application classes in a jar file, and all other resources (pictures, properties, and so forth..) in my windows folder. I do not have any problem for using them such way. For example to set an icon to a JFrame I have coded :
f.setIconImage("mypicture.jpg");To make installation easier, I'd like to put my picture into the jar file with the classes. Is it possible ? if so, how should I modify my code to make things work ? Should I specify a special path ?
Thanks for all
Gege

Thanks a lot, I'm going to try both ways.What both ways? Both replies are about the same thing -- using the classpath to find resources.
The question now is what about if there is the same file
name in the jar file and also in the directory ? Is
there a search hierarchy ?It will find the first one it encounters in the classpath. You shouldn't have 2 resources with the same name in the classpath -- that's just like having two classes with the same package and class name.
