How to make an standalone java application that uses mysql driver

Hi,
I have an application that makes connection to a mysql database, on my computer, I set on classpath the driver address, so everithing works fine.
The problem is that I want to execute my application from other computers, where the classpath does not have the drivers.
So my question is how can I package the driver? so, everybody can run my application from a Jar, for example.
thanks in advance,
- Susana

Nobody answered me, but I post the solution I found, that maybe can help somebody else with this problem:
I packed all my application sources (.class) and the drivers sources (.jar) with the tool: FAT JAR. It is an Eclipse plug-in. And now I can run mi application from the resulting Jar in other machines without installing the conector.
Bye,
- Susana

  • Standalone java application that calls Db2

    Hi,
    I am trying to use coherence in my standalone java
    application that makes JDBC calls to Db2.
    The sql statemet is like below:
    select lastName,firstName from employee where empNo=2224;
    In the application,I would read from the flat file say
    200 account numbers and query the database.
    If I have queried the database already with the given
    account,I want to retreive from the cache.
    I am having real trouble in getting this work with
    coherence software.
    Any psudo code in this regard will help me a lot.
    Thanks
    DJon

    Hi Jon,
    Thanks for the mail.I am struck in
    implementing the coherence in the sample program.
    any help in this regard is appreciated.
    Thanks
    DJon
    Below is the sample program that works without coherence.go to db2 and get the information.
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class DB2Client
    static void printColumn(String in)
    System.out.print(in);
    System.out.print(" | ");
    public static void main(String[] args)
    Driver myDriver = null;
    Connection myConnection = null;
    try
    myDriver =
    (Driver)Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver").newInstance();
    myConnection =
    DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2:sample","dujon","jeff");
    PreparedStatement myStatement
    = myConnection.prepareStatement("SELECT
    empno,firstnme,lastname FROM employee where empno > ?");
    myStatement.setString(1,"00");
    ResultSet
    myResults=myStatement.executeQuery();
    while (myResults.next())
    printColumn(myResults.getString("empno") + "");
    printColumn(myResults.getString("firstnme") + "");
    printColumn(myResults.getString("lastname"));
    System.out.println();
    } catch (Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    } finally
    try
    if (myConnection != null)
    myConnection.close();
    } catch (Exception e)
    Now,to implement the above sample with
    coherence I have written 2 programs.

  • How can I build a LabView application that uses the 2012 runtime, on a development system with LabView 2013 or 2014 installed?

    I need to build a LabView application .exe to run with the 2012 Runtime, for legacy support. I currently have LabView 2013 installed on my development system, and have 2014 available. How can I build an application that uses the 2012 runtime on this development system? Do I have to downgrade to 2012? Thank you.

    We have existing customers that have installed our application that was originally built with 2012 (provided by a contractor that is no longer available).  Due to IT regulations, it is far easier to update these customers by simply replacing the .exe file, than creating an install that their IT department must run.
    If I have to downgrade to LabView 2012, where can I get the installation for this?

  • How to pack a standalone Java application

    Hi, all. I have a stand alone Java application which includs some classes and some properties files. Meanwhile, I'm using some libraries(in jar files) from 3rd party as library extension.
    When I developed my application in the IDE, I can run it from the IDE and it works fine.
    Now I want to run it out of the IDE, it always complains that is can't find the 3rd party classes. I have tried to modify the classpath to include the extension libraries but it goes no avail. What might be the problem?
    And normally, how will you pack the application to submit it to the end-users? How do you include the libraries from 3rd party without end-users' awareness?
    Thanks a lot!

    Put it in a jar, and use the classpath-setting in the jar manifest file.
    Or extract the 3rdparty libraries, and put everything in a big jar.
    Or provide a .bat-file and a shellscript that sets classpath temporarily.

  • How  to communicate with a remote application that uses http post to request connection

    Ok, I will try to make this simple as to avoid any
    confusion.
    I am trying to receive connection requests from remote applications installed on user pc's.
    The application uses POST method to send the request to connect to my database, and if required update some tables.
    The application is not a webpage. I have no access to the internal workings of the application nor do I have any specific information about how it sends its POST. I am sure of the following:
    The app will POST to my .cfm page
    "IsConnectionAllowed" = "yes"
    This is asking my cfm page if its ok to connect. I would need to use a <cfif> to verify the the first part of the POST is in fact
    "IsConnectionAllowed" = "yes"
    If this returns true, (the app also uses to POST to pass "username" and "password") my .cfm page will then perform a query and check the username and password against the database. If a matching record is found, the application expects my page to reply with
    "#Answer# OK- connected;"
    Once the answer is given the application will then respond with data to insert or update my tables.
    Now, I know how to do the queries and update tables etc, but I have never received data from an application before.
    I tried using the <cfform> tag with a mehod of GET, and then trying to send my reply with <cfoutput>, but that didn't work. The application doesn't give any feedback or error messages. It either connects or not.
    I also tried the <cfhttp> tag, but that didnt work either. I am not very experinced with coldfusion. I used it years ago and am just getting back into it.
    I am sure this is a pretty easy thing to do, but my methods arent working.
    Using the above information, can somone please show me how I would accomplish this communication? I can then use the same method to retrieve the data for my table updates and queries.
    Here is a sample of what I have already tried:
    <cfform method="get">
    <cfif>
    "IsConnectionAllowed" = "yes"
    <!-- I need to query a username or password. But for testing I will just give the OK to connect -->
    <cfoutput>#Answer# Ok - connected;</cfoutput>
    <cfelse>
    <!-- When I query username and password, if the query returns no records I deny the connection -->
    <cfoutput>#Answer# Not connected;</cfoutput>
    </cfif>
    </cfform>
    BTW, I have examples of this being done using .php and .asp. I need to do this using .cfm. I can post the either the .php or.asp code if it will be helpful in converting the function into a .cfm page.

    Thanks Fernis.
    That code allowed me to connect!
    I have an error on the remote application, but I think thats due to the fact that I commented out the database connection and query strings. As I am mostly concerned with connection at this point, I just wanted to test that my cfm page will recognise the POST request and send the right answer, In this case
    ##Answer## Ok - connected;
    That worked perfectly and the application received the ok to connect.
    I can now use your code as a base to carry on with my database connection and update query.
    I can't thank you enough. I wouldnt have figured that out in a million years of trial and error.
    I knew it was simple though. I was over thinking it.
    I do have one last question though... In the code you presented you have
    <cfif structKeyExists(Form,"isConnectionAllowed") AND form.isConnectionAllowed EQ "yes">
    Can you you explain this    structKeyExists(Form,"isConnectionAllowed")
    I have never seen this before. Why the Form followed by a comma? I am guessing you are asking if there is an element in the POST called "isConnectionAllowed". Is that correct?  If so, do I not need to do that for each POST'ed element such as username, password, and each of the other fields that will be updated in the session?

  • How to make my N80 read websites that uses Indic U...

    Is it possible to get my N80 read the websites written in Indic Unicode text... Currently I see only squares instead of the text... Also I see squares in Indic language messages.. Can I have a font that supports Indic languages?
    N80 IE, E51, E71

    I copied some Malayalam Unicode fonts to e:\resource\fonts and yes, the squares are replaced by the Malayalam characters. There is no rendering support yet though, as my firmware is from MiddleEast.
    I hope Nokia will consider adding "Uniscribe" support in the newer firmwares, just to "read" the data.

  • How to archive a Java project that uses an Oracle XE DB?

    Hi,
    As the title suggests, I have a small Java application that uses Oracle XE as the database. Now that I have finished working on the application, I want to archive it and email it to friends and coworkers to test it. However, I know that none of these people have any database software installed. I also can't have them connect remotely to the one on my development machine.
    Is there any way to include the database in my application archive, so that all they have to do is run the application without worrying about its back-end? Should I use another back-end?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Unless your database server is on a remote machine that they can connect to then you can't package the WHOLE DATABASE, software and all and send it via e-mail.
    You can package your application, and also export the contents of your database into a .dmp file and send that.
    The user will NEED Oracle software then to import the contents of your .dmp file.

    Thank you very muchLet's take that to another level. Suppose this is on Windows, and that none of the apps running on it will ever use some DLL(s) or some APIs in those DLLs, which are already installed on the box. Do you really think you should worry about trimming them down?
    And surely none of the java specific apps you will write will use ALL of the classes and methods in the whole java library, so should you whack those too?

    Regards,
    Shilpa B.V

    Hi Shilpa,
    1. Check that you have added com.sap.security.api within the Your Project>Libraries folder (under navigation tab) and also added jars in the build path of the Your Project under project>properties>Build Path.
    2. In case you have a DC instead of Web Dynpro Project then you have to add the com.sap.security.api under Your DC>Used DCs and have compile time and runtime dependency added.
    Here java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError is caused basically due to only build time dependency added and reference to the jar missing at runtime. Rest the code to retrieve the current user id using UME API and getUserByLogOnID("....") method with/without portal environment would not be an issue at all.

    Tushar SInha
