How to read file in JAR file (the one containing applet class)

my applet needs to read a file (font file) that will be bundled in the jar file. how do i read that file?
i tried using
URL u = new URL("file:///myfont.ttf");
u.openStream();i got AccessControlException. is there anyway for the applet to load file in the JAR file? i see applet can load image in the jar file so figured that it should be able to do so with some other type of file
thanks

The reason you're getting access violation is the way you code your URL -- it's pointing to a file on the user's local disk. If my.ttf is in the jar, try:
URL url=myApplet.class.getClassLoader().getResource("myfont.ttf");Where myApplet is the name of your applet and the font file is assumedly kept in the same directory level in the jar file as the class file for your applet.

How to protect the class files inside jar file.

Hi Group,
pls help me.
my need is i created a executable jar file with certain classes.
and i'm supposed to send it to my client.
but if the client needs he can extract the class files from the jar and with the
help of some decompilers he can convert class file to .java source code and read the whole
stuff.
how can i protect my jar file from these.
is there any security mechanism for that
pls help me.
Regards,
Ranjith.M

In order to protect my jar file I tried the jar signer technology but it only protects the jar from modification so I need to know how to protect jar file from decoding of the contents inside.

Question
firefox 4, when I make a browser search I get a second page:"Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///D:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/browser/content/browser/<url></url>", how can I solve the problem.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

How to list files from .jar file in applet?

I have created applet and export all files to .jar file.
I use File.list() method in applet to list files from one directory and that works ok but if I try to do that from web browser it sends exception AccessDenied meaning that File.list() isn't allowed in browser.
I know what's the problem but I don't know how to solve it.
What I want is to read from directory list of files.
Help anyone?

I will post here my code so that can be seen what I want to do:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URLClassLoader;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;
public class test extends JApplet {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private JPanel jContentPane = null;
     private JTextPane jTextPane = null;
      * This is the xxx default constructor
     public test() {
          super();
      * This method initializes this
      * @return void
     public void init() {
          this.setSize(449, 317);
          this.setContentPane(getJContentPane());
      * This method initializes jContentPane
      * @return javax.swing.JPanel
     private JPanel getJContentPane() {
          if (jContentPane == null) {
               jContentPane = new JPanel();
               jContentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
               jContentPane.add(getJTextPane(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
          return jContentPane;
      * This method initializes jTextPane
      * @return javax.swing.JTextPane
     private JTextPane getJTextPane() {
          if (jTextPane == null) {
               jTextPane = new JTextPane();
          return jTextPane;
     public void start(){
          File fileDir= new File("somedirectory");
          String strFiles[]= fileDir.list();
          String a="";
          for(int i =0;i<strFiles.length;i++){
               a=a+strFiles;
          this.jTextPane.setText(a);
Method init() is irelevant, it just adds JTextPane in applet.
Method start() is relevant, it runs normaly when started from Eclipse but from browser it sends exception AccessDenied.

I will paste other's source code in my source code.
and then recomplie , build it.. but it is not my wish!
thanks for reading my sentence.

If you have a jar file with a class that you wish to use, then you must add the jar file to your class path ($CLASSPATH on unix, linux, etc. and %CLASSPATH% on Windows).
Then you can use the class normally, just as you would if it were not in the jar.
If you meant something else, you'll need to explain what you meant.

How to read a server side file in Applet?

You generally can't tell with Stream how many bytes are going to be available. You could download the whole thing into a ByteBuffer, for example, and process it from there.
Or you can try opening an http connection explicitly (using URL and casting the connection to HttpURLConnection and see if there's a "Content-length" header.

How do you convert a jar file into a java file, ?

how do you convert a jar file into a java file ?
I am new to Java ,but have a little experience in C++ and Visual Basic.
I want to edit and maybe create my own mobile games that are written or converted into jar files.
At the moment I am using Java NetBeans , and Easy Java( the java pad).
However the only solution I tried was to open the JAR file in winrar and see that its made up of png picture files,
midi music files and class files. Unfortunately when I uncompressed the JAR file , there was NO java file to be seen and the JAVA editors Do not show the class file like a Java file. So why is there no extension Java file in the mobile JAR game ?

I want to edit and maybe create my own mobile games that are written or converted into jar files.Eh?
Are you saying you want to take existing games and modify them? If the creators allow you to modify their source, then they'll provide you with that source (the .java files). If you're allowed to add things but not modify, you don't need .java files. Just documentation, which, again, the creators should be providing.
Or are you saying you want to create your own games and distribute them in jar files? If so, there's no need to turn jars into .java.

How can i rename a jar file using only java code

i have tried everything i can think of to accomplish this but nothing works.

And the question is how can i rename a jar file using java code? As it says in the title. Read.I would tell you to use the File.renameTo method, but surely that would have been obvious, and you would have tried it already? But maybe you didn't. You were kind of lacking in details in what you tried.
And yes, I am a genius. Just don't confuse "genius" with "mind-reader".

How can I create a jar file

Hello!
How can a create a jar file?
I want to run an application just clicking in a icon.
How can I do this?
Thanks a lot.
K�tia.

Get to the command prompt
change directories to the directory where the main class resides.
Open your text editor and type the following in it:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: NameOfMainClass //Just name without ".class"!!!
Created-By: Your Name Here
Save this file as whatever you want to name it with ".mf" as the extension.
Then go back into the command prompt and type the following:
jar cfm "NameOfJarFile".jar "NameOfManifestFile".mf *.class
(without the quote marks of course)
Hit "Enter"
This will jar it up and make it executable.
If you have any images associated with the program you can add them in the same way as above. Just add *.gif or *.jpg after the *.class portion.
Good luck!

How to read a whole text file into a pl/sql variable?

Hi, I need to read an entire text file--which actually contains an email message extracted from a content management system-- into a variable in a pl/sql package, so I can insert some information from the database and then send the email. I want to read the whole text file in one shot, not just one line at a time. Shoud I use Utl_File.Get_Raw or is there another more appropriate way to do this?

How can i run a jar file as EXE on mouse click..

If it's the latter then you need to make the jar file including a manifest.
The manifest can be just a txt file with its content to be something like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
Created-By: Somebody
Main-Class: NameOfTheMainClass
Class-Path:
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by buildTo make the jar file including the manifest, use something like this in your command prompt (of course you must have compiled your java file(s) first):
jar cfm test.jar MANIFEST.txt NameOfTheMainClass.classAfter that you'd be able to run your application just by double clicking it.
If you're a NetBeans user, you can build your standalone application by right-clicking your project and then going to properties => run => and choosing a Main class. After that right click on that project and "Clean and Build", locate the jar file in the "dist" folder and double click it =]
Hope it helps,
