Running a Java application from a web page?

Hi
Could anyone please tell me how do i launch a java application (which is not an applet) by clicking a button on a web page?
Does the application have to be converted to .exe? And if so how do i do it?
The application is on my PC not on a server.
Thanking u in advance for ur help.

Hi dins19
Java WebStart is a pretty good technology for that purpose. Installing and launching a Java application on a local machine has always been a burdensome task. JWS really remedies that. The cool thing about JWS is that it works for both web and client applications. The technology introduces a new file format called jnlp which tells a program called "Java Web Start Application Manager" where the resources, typically a single jar file, are located. Check out

for a nifty demo.
Hope this has been of some help.

Hi,
What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.

Opening a java application from a java application

I am trying to write a simple patching application for a program I am writing. The application must work on both Windows and Mac computers. The program is compiled into a single jar file. To patch the program, I'd like to see if an update is available, download the update if it's available and if the user requests it, and then apply the patch. Since this is a very simple, relatively small program, the "patch" is actually just a newer version of the jar file.
I've haven't had any problems in detecting or downloading the updated jar file. The problem I'm having is that I can't overwrite the old jar file with the new one while the program is running (of course). Therefore, I wrote a separate patch program that does the actual downloading and replacing work. The order of operations should look like this:
Open program -> Check for patch -> If user wants to patch then...
Open patch application -> Close program -> Patch application downloads new jar file and replaces old jar file -> Open original program -> Close patch application.
However, I can't seem to open the patch application from the original application. I'm using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar patchApp.jar") but I'm not getting any output whatsoever, neither the program running nor an exception. Can anyone suggest something here? Any help is appreciated.

However, I can't seem to open the patch application
from the original application. I'm using
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar patchApp.jar")
but I'm not getting any output whatsoever, neither the
program running nor an exception. Can anyone suggest
something here? Any help is appreciated.I've had bad results using the Runtime.exec method. It doesn't seem to be very reliable, at least not in Windows (that's probably not Java's fault.)
Can you run java by just typing java at the console or do it have to be qualified. Make sure your patchApp.jar argument is in the correct case also.
I gave up on exec and use JNI to delegate this task to native code. That's going to a little more complicated if you are running in two environemts.

How to Open an Oracle Report From a JSF Page

Hi there,
I would be really grateful if anyone would find me a solution to the following scenario:
In my company, we have a project where we have to convert Oracle Forms and Reports to Java Web Application. The conversion of forms is being done thourgh JSF/ADF technology but how can i open an Oracle Report from a JSF page after supplying it with parameters ? Or i have to do some type of conversion before ?
Once again i would be thankfull for your replies.

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks

Calling a java application from j2ee web application

Hi,
I have a j2ee application in which i am making a call to a jar file which is a java application.
Runtime a4 = Runtime.getRuntime();
Runtime a = Runtime.getRuntime();
String cmd[] = new String[14];
cmd[0] = "cmd";
cmd[1] = "/c";
cmd[2] = "start";
cmd[3] = "javaw";
cmd[4] = "-jar";
cmd[5] = CATALINA_HOME+"\\webapps\\AveksaTesting\\AveksaTestingJava\\dist\\AveksaTestingJava.jar";
cmd[6] = SERVER_TESTS;
cmd[7] = COLLECTOR_TESTS;
cmd[8] = SYSTEM_TESTS;
cmd[9] = CREATE_ORACLE;
cmd[10] = DB_NAME;
cmd[11] = DB_DUMP;
cmd[12] = email;
cmd[13] = isMIGRATE;
try{
java.lang.Process p = a.exec(cmd);
Now in the called java application, i am first shutting down the tomcat server by calling shutdown.bat script and then starting it using startup.bat. But the problem i am facing is when i restart the server from java application, it says address already in use(i.e. port 8445 on which tomcat is runninng).
Id i just call the java application and do the same operation it works fine. I guess when i am calling java from j2ee application, j2ee still has some threads holding java and not shutting down tomcat properly.
Can anyone suggest me what can be done in this case. I have to call a java application from j2ee and restart the tomcat server many times.
Thanks in advance

How to download an animated .gif from a web page

how do i download to my mac an animated gif that is on a web page....when i want a picture or text or something like that i just ...apple shift 4 and "take a picture of it" ...but i want the animation..i have never had to do that on this mac.....a windoze person from the site(chat site) said just right click but my wireless mac mouse doesnt do that....i would appreciate any help.....i do know how to down load from a site that has downloadable .gifs...you just click the download sign they have and no problem....but this is just a random animated .gif from a web page ....i hope my ques is clear....thank you

Drag and drop it from the webpage onto your desktop. Note that it won't remain "animated" while you're looking at the file's icon, but it should work if you build it into a new website.
And you can right-click with a Mac mouse - you just have to set it up to do so in System Preferences. (Set the right side of the mouse to be a "secondary click".)

How to launch my java application in a web browser?

Hi. I try to launch my java application, e.g. "HellowWorld.java", using web browser.
1. How can I change my java application program to java applet in general way?
I read "Java: An Introduction to Computer Science and Programming, Third Edition"
by Walter Savitch and found page 803 - "Converting a Swing application to an applet".
My question is how I can know which class should be removed or not such as using JApplet instead of JFrame. Are there general rules about this?
2. I found "AWT only" tutorial had some example lauching application using "AppletButton".
How can I use this method to launch "HelloWorld.class"?
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/information/download.html#OLDui
(after extracting zip file) -> ../OLDui/layout/card.html
3. (continued 2) Can I use above method to embed applet into web browser?
For example, java Swing application -> applet using "AppletButton" -> web browser using "<applet></applet>" tag.
I'd appreciate any partial anwers of these questions or other suggestions.
Thanks.

Thanks! Here is what I got from your help.
* HelloWorldSwing.java is a 1.4 example that
* requires no other files.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;                //for Container class
// public class HelloWorldSwing {
   public class HelloWorldSwingToApplet extends JApplet {
     * Create the GUI and show it. For thread safety,
     * this method should be invoked from the
     * event-dispatching thread.
//    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
      private void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Make sure we have nice window decorations.
//        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        //Create and set up the window.
//        JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing");
//        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        //Add the ubiquitous "Hello World" label.
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
//        frame.getContentPane().add(label);
     frameApplet.add(label);
        //Display the window.
//        frame.pack();
//        frame.setVisible(true);

Opening a Java Window from a jsp page on the client side

Hi all,
Thanks in advance to all who could help me for this problem.
I've written some jsp pages. In one of them, I open a new Java Window,
which is a simple Java Frame. If I test this directly on the Tomcat
server, everything works well.
But when I call the jsp page through a web browser of a distant client
(normal use), and when I want to see the java window, no window pops
up. It appears that the Java Window pops up on the server, and not on
the client side, which is what I wanted.
Could someone tell me how to make the Java frames appear on the client
side ? (Is it linked to the code or to the configuration of Tomcat ?)
Thanks in advance,
Alexis.

JSP always run on the server. On the client you only see the results.
But you can use applets on the client side: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/applet.html

Passing username and password to Forms Application from a web page

Hi,
I have a web application where the user needs to login and browse some web pages.One of the links on this page
calls a forms application. How do I pass the userid and password from the web application to the forms application
so that the user doesnot need to login once again.
Thanks,
Vikram

I have one problem with that. The password of the user
should not show up in the URL or the user should not be
allowed to view the password by clicking on
"View Source" on the browser.
How can I call the forms application in such a way so that the user password doesnot show up?
Thanks for your reply.

How to execute a java application from java itself

Hi,
I�m working in Client Server environment. After starting the server, i want to automatically call the client. ( java Server (in Server.java
the call (java Client) has to be done. Can anyone help me for this problem.
thanks.

In normal client server design the client initiates communication with the server, not the other way around.
So you initiate a conversation just like a normal client server communication.
-The client is running.
-The client listens for a connection (SocketServer)
-The server starts up.
-It connects to the client using a socket. (The server must know the host/ip of the client.)

How to launch a java application from Microsoft SQL Server

Hi everyone
I noticed the following line in a trigger will launch an executable.
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell '"C:\Program Files\SkillSets.exe"', NO_OUTPUT
Does anyone know if this same statement will launch a java program? Or does anyone have any positive experience with that ?

yes...
check this basic example:
public class GoodWindowsExec{
public static void main(String args[]){
if (args.length < 1){
System.out.println("USAGE: java GoodWindowsExec <cmd>");
System.exit(1);
try{
String osName = System.getProperty("os.name" );
String[] cmd = new String[3];
if( osName.equals( "Windows NT" ) ){
cmd[0] = "cmd.exe" ;
cmd[1] = "/C" ;
cmd[2] = args[0];
}else if( osName.equals( "Windows 95" ) ){
cmd[0] = "command.com" ;
cmd[1] = "/C" ;
cmd[2] = args[0];
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println("Execing " + cmd[0] + " " + cmd[1]
+ " " + cmd[2]);
Process proc = rt.exec(cmd);
// any error message?
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new
StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
// any output?
StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new
StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
// kick them off
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
// any error???
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
} catch (Throwable t)
t.printStackTrace();

How can I install any application from the web as I can`t do so now?

can I download and install any web application with Adobe download assistant?
such as download accelerator plus or any other download manager.

What has this to do with Adobe? You're looking in the wrong place. Browser plug-ins/ extensions are handled by the respective routines in the browsers themselves...
