IAS 6.5 dynamic loading problem

Hi all,
I have a IAS 6.5 with enable dynamic loading features installed on SUN Solaris platform. This application server had deployed 2 applications. My problem is my servlet class could not be dynamic loading unless restart the application server. Here is my class path setting inside the iasenv.ksh

If I didn't set my own classpath , since I've 2 applications inside the one server , the dynamic loading was working fine in both servlet and JSP. Due to there were some class files with same name inside the 2 applications, so I need specifiy the exact class path to avaid the mis-using. However, after I specify the classpath, the servlet dynamic loading was working failure. Any solution ?
Thanks.

Problem displaying dynamically loaded text in Flash CS3

I created a Flash CS3 application that does not display
dynamically loaded text (from internal AS3 scripts) on 3/6 of my
client's computers. All computers run IE 6 and Flash Player 9. I
cannot replicate the problem on any computer in my department. The
problem seems to be related to Flash Player 9 or a browser
setting/IT restriction. Has anyone encountered this? If so, have
you found a solution?
If I cannot find a solution, then I will need to almost
completely redo the application.
One slightly insane idea I have considered is to, if
possible, convert dynamically loaded text to an image real-time. Is
that possible?
Btw, I have created a font in my library. Should I try
manually embedding the font from the Properties menu and selecting
all characters?
Thanks in advance.

yes, even though you may be using a font from the library,
you still have to specify that each text field that uses that font
embeds the font, and you'll need to select all characters(well not
all, unless you require all the different scripts of the world -
upper-case, lower-case, numerals and punctuation usual suffices).
I bet if you checked, the computers where the font did not
appear did not have the font on their system.
Good luck

Dynamic class load problem..

Hello all,
I am rather new to this concept of creating class loaders.
I started on a simple test and landed into a problem right away. I have a Java class file stuffed away somewhere on m machine (at a location not on my CLASSPATH) . I just want to load that class dynamically. Here is my humble code :
import java.io.*;
public class DynamicClassLoadTest extends ClassLoader {
     String classFileName;
     String pathToClassFile;
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               if(args.length != 2) {
                    System.out.println("Usage : java DynamicClassLoadTest <path to class file> <name of class file>");
                    System.exit(0);
               System.out.println("MISSION: To dynamically load class " + args[1] + " from path : " + args[0]);
               DynamicClassLoadTest dcl = new DynamicClassLoadTest();
               Class cls = dcl.loadClass(args[1], args[0], true);
          catch(Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Mission failed with error : " + e);
               e.printStackTrace();
     public Class loadClass(String name, String path, boolean resolve)
          throws ClassNotFoundException
          this.pathToClassFile=path;
          this.classFileName= name;
          return (loadClass(name, resolve));
     public Class loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)
          throws ClassNotFoundException
          try {
               File f = new File(pathToClassFile, name + ".class");
               if(!f.exists())
                    throw new ClassNotFoundException("Specified class not found");
               FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
               long fileSize = f.length();
               System.out.println("Size of class file = " + fileSize);
               byte[] classBytes = new byte[(int) fileSize];
               int r = fis.read(classBytes);
               System.out.println("Bytes read is " + r + " and file size is " + fileSize + " and byte array length is " + classBytes.length);
               Class c = defineClass(name, classBytes, 0, classBytes.length);
               System.out.println("CLASS created..");
               return c;
          catch(Exception e) {
               throw new ClassNotFoundException(e.getMessage());
When I execute as :
java DynamicClassLoadTest /Users/user1 JustTest
the below is printed on execution :
MISSION: To dynamically load class JustTest from path : /Users/user1
Size of class file = 421
Bytes read is 421 and file size is 421 and byte array length is 421

The class file has apparently been read fine - then why is this java/lang/object reference ?
Any tips would be of huge help.
Thanks.

What should I do when I have to load a jar dynamically ? I manage to load the main class of the jar successfully. But what about classes in the jar which are invoked by this class. Say we have case as below :
JustAJar.jar contains :
sh-2.05a$ jar tvf JustAJar.jar
0 Fri May 23 14:41:14 PDT 2003 META-INF/
70 Fri May 23 14:41:14 PDT 2003 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
567 Fri May 23 14:40:52 PDT 2003 InvokeTheNext.class
475 Fri May 23 14:40:52 PDT 2003 InvokeMe.class
Now, InvokeMe is the class I instantiate :
public class InvokeMe {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Welcome to InvokeMe");
InvokeTheNext itn = new InvokeTheNext("InvokeMe");
InvokeTheNext is :
public class InvokeTheNext {
public InvokeTheNext(String str) {
System.out.println("Welcome to InvokeTheNext");
System.out.println("Recd ur msg " + str);
Now I manage to define and resolve the class InvokeMe, but when the class is invoked, the foll error is thrown :
Resolved class with name InvokeMe successfully
Welcome to InvokeMe
Mission failed with error : java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

     at InvokeMe.main(InvokeMe.java:4)
I tried loading the entire jar file into the CLASSPATH dynamically (using System.setProperty) but that doesnt help. Any inputs please ?
Thanks.

Problems with the dynamic loader... And well... I SERIOUSLY messed up.

So you might call me an idiot. Go ahead... I deserve it.
I was in the process of updating my netbook over SSH because I left it back home when I went to school. I ended up running into problems with glibc etc... So I did something that I seriously regret...
I executed the command...
mv /lib/* /usr/lib*
This has to be the most retarded thing I have ever done ever... Like I'm not even shitting you.
To make things worse... I don't have busybox and have no method of getting busybox onto the computer.
Now I have seen about using the dynamic loader "ld-linux.so.2" to execute programs using a user defined library path. So I thought perfect, I can do this. The problem is... I can't find it. I looked on two healthy Arch machines at the locations and names. I used that to try this. I am sure at least I have a recent version of glibc installed (<current version>-1 I believe). But I still cannot find this at all. I am logged in as root over SSH but it fails to log in again on another session. So I have one session to work with it I can work it at all.
Do you have any suggestions to fix this? If not, I can always have someone tomorrow dd a copy of an arch iso tomorrow and possibly fix everything... But I would really like this fixed without all of that... Thanks...

Security problem when signed applet dynamically load plugins

Hi!
I have one problem : "security problem when signed applet dynamically load plugins"
This is the scenario:
the main program [app.jar]
. contain applet and shared library (interface & implement of common class)
. it is signed and run normally on browser
. it can draw image loaded from other URL [ex] http://bp1.blogger.com/image.jpg
. the image loader is in the shared library
. dynamically load amazon.jar through URLClassLoader and reflection
the plugin [amazon.jar]
. search amazon product [ex] Harry Potter book
. draw image on applet
. use image loader from shared library, BUT CANNOT LOAD IMAGE
The question: "Why it cannot load image, because the image loader is in the shared library which has been signed and working?" I tried to sign the amazon.jar too, but it did not work.
Your reply would be very helpful. Thank you.
Sovann

hello. i have create a signed applet for A.jar. A.jar include two package B and C. the main applet class is within B.
B need some classes in C to run the applet. but i got the error that class in package c are not found.
what shall i do?

Anyway to have JDeveloper dynamically load BC4J components in memory?

We are dealing with a large BC4J based application that contains large amount of application modules. So far, 300 application modules and total 4000 BC4J objects have been created. The size of the application still keeps growing daily... may up to twenty times than what we are having right now.
While the application size growing, some unusual problem comes out. The biggest problem is that it makes JDeveloper very sluggish. It takes 15 minutes to just open JDeveloper and may need a few minutes to open the application module editor. (FYI: in our team, most developers have 1G memory and 1.8G CPU or up.) This is probably still OK for right now, but it will become a big problem later when the project size grows.
When we analysis the project structure, we know that most of time, developer does not need to load all the application modules. For example, we have a core package that contains about 30 application modules. This core package needs to be shared and should be loaded. But, the other nine packages contain about 30 application modules each do not need to be loaded into memory at the same time in most cases. Since BC4J is XML based, we could not find a way to just partially load those application modules, especially when theres cross references between them.
When we check the project.jpr file, looks like all BC4J objects are referenced there. We have 40K lines in our project.jpr file now. When open JDeveloper, we believe JDeveloper will try to load all referenced BC4J XML content into memory. This consumes 500M memory and makes the overall performance very sluggish. The situation may become even worse when the project size keeps growing. For example, we cannot have 5000M (5G) memory in a development machine for 3000 application modules.
We do know that by checking out the "ScanSource Paths to Determins Project Contents" in the Input Paths of Project Settings, we can short the JDevelopers open time, but this will not give BC4J relationship information and some other useful information Not a practical solution.
So, any idea to make JDeveloper dynamically loaded BC4J based on need?
Weve tried a few ways. One is to partition the application into different project and import the core one into the other projects. Only open the project in workspace when need. But this is not officially documented by Oracle and we are not sure whether it is possible/correct or not. Another thought is to remove the NOT-CURRENTLY-USED package from the project. But JDeveloper only support file level remove.
Any help on this dilemma will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles

The package is the unit of loading in the IDE for ADF business components.
To edit components, they must belong to the project.
To refer to components in a read-only way, they can be imported. This allows other editable or read-only components to refer to them without allowing the imported components to be edited.
Both editable and imported components need to be loaded in memory to use them, so you can save memory at design time by creating projects that leave out as many packages as possible.
Is there a way we can get your existing project in house to study its design time performance?

Spry Tabbed panels + Progressive Enhancement and Dynamic Loading of Content With Spry

Is there any way to combine tabbed panels together with "Progressive Enhancement and Dynamic Loading of Content With Spry"?
Visit: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/best_practices/progressive_enhancement.ht ml#updatecontent
And click on the "Using Spry.Utils.updateContent()"
The 3rd example shows how to use a fade transition whenever the content changes.
I already have tabbed panels. My menu contains buttons (on tabs) and my Content div contains the panels.
Tabs code;
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
          <li class="TabbedPanelsTab">
               <table class="Button" >
                    <tr>
                    <td style="padding-right:0px" title ="Home">
                    <a href="javascript:TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1);" title="Home" style="background-image:url(/Buttons/Home.png);width:172px;height:75px;display:block;"><br/></a>
                    </td>
                    </tr>
               </table>
          </li>
etc
etc
etc
and the panel code:
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" id="Home">
     CONTENT
</div>
I hoped i can use the example code from the link into my tabbed panels.
I thought this code:
onclick="FadeAndUpdateContent('event', 'data/AquoThonFrag.html'); return false;"
could be added to the tab code like this:
<a href="javascript:TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1);" onclick="FadeAndUpdateContent('event', 'data/AquoThonFrag.html'); return false;" title="Home" style="background-image:url(/Buttons/Home.png);width:172px;height:75px;display:block;"><br/></a>
But the content doesnt fade...
I know i need to change the header etc.
The following is from the link:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:spry="http://ns.adobe.com/spry">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Aquo Events</title>
<script src="../../../includes/SpryEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../../includes/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<style type="text/css">
/* IE HACK to prevent bad rendering when fading. */
#event { background-color: white; }
</style>
</head>
So i changed my header etc, put the SpryEffects.js and SpryData.js into position and nothing changed...
Is there a way to keep my tabbed panel (or change as less as possible) and let
A. The fade work
B. The loading work.
The problem now is that it loads all pages instead of only the home. Therefore i wanted this Progressive Enhancement.
And the fading part is just because its nice...

It doesnt show in the post but off course i changed this link;
"data/AquoThonFrag.html"
into;
"javascript:TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1);"
I must say i dont know if this even works...

How can you display a dynamically loaded vi to the Web Server?

I am working with LabView 6.1 and the Web Server. I can call a subvi and have it display on a remote machine using a browser with no problem. But what I would like to do is dynamically load and run a vi and have it display on the remote computer using only a browser. I have tried a small example of a front panel that invokes the run vi method (and fp.open prop) on another vi when a button is pressed, but the invoked vi is displayed only on the local computer. Is there any way of viewing dynamically loaded vi's on a remote machine without having a copy of LabView running on it?

If i understand your question correctly, you want to monitor vi that are dynamically loaded on a remote machine without having LabVIEW installed on the machine from witch you want the monitor. I don't think it's possible how ever a good reference book would be Internet applications in LabVIEW. You can find it on BARNES&NOBLE.
Hope i could help

How to dynamically load jar files - limiting scope to that thread

Dynamically loading jar files has been discussed a lot. I have read a quite a few posts, articles, and demo code for doing just that. However, I have yet to find a solution to my problem. Most people modify their system class loader and are happy. I have done that and was happy for a time. Occasionally, you will see reference to an application server or tomcat or some other large project that have successfully been able to load and unload jar files, allow for dynamic deployment of code, etc. However, I have not been able to achieve similar success; And my problem is much less complicated.
I have an application that executes a thread to send a given file/message to a standard JMS Server Queue. Depending on the parameters selected by the user, this thread may need to communicate with one of a number of JMS Servers, ie. JBoss, WebLogic, EAServer, Glassfish, etc. All of which can be done with the same code, but each needs to load their own flavor of JMS Client Jar files. In this instance, spawning a separate JVM for each communication would work from a classloader perspective. However, I need to keep it in the family and run under the same JVM, albeit each JMS Server Connection will be created and maintained in separate Threads.
I am close, I am doing the following...
1. Creating a new URLClassLoader in the run() method of each thread.
2. Set this threads contextClassLoader to the new URLClassLoader.
3. Load the javax.jms.JMSException class with the URLClassLoader.loadClass() method.
4. Create an initialContext object within this thread.
Note: I read that the initialContext and subsequent conext lookup calls would use the Thread�s
contextClassLoader for finding/loading classes.
5. Perform context.lookup calls for a connectionFactory and Queue name.
6. Create JMS Connection, etc. Send Message.
Most of this seems to work. However, I am still getting a NoClassDefFoundError exception for the javax.jms.JMSException class ( Note step #3 - tried to cure unsuccessfully).
If I include one of the JMS Client jar files ( ie wljmsclient.jar for weblogic ) in the classpath then it works for all the different JMS Servers, but I do not have confidence that each of the providers implemented these classes that now resolve the same way. It may work for now, but, I believe I am just lucky.
Can anyone shine some light on this for me and all the others who have wanted to dynamically load classes/jar files on a per Thread basis?

Thanks to everyone - I got it working!
First, BenSchulz' s dumpClassLoader() method helped me to visualize the classLoader hierarchy. I am still not completely sure I understand why my initial class was always found by the systemClassLoader, but knowning that - was the step I needed to find the solution.
Second, kdgregory suggested that I use a "glue class". I thought that I already was using a "glue class" because I did not have any JMSClient specific classes exposed to the rest of the application. They were all handled by my QueueAdmin class. However...
The real problem turned out to be that my two isolating classes (the parent "MessageSender", and the child "QueueAdmin") were contained within the same jar file that was included in the classpath. This meant that no matter what I did the classes were loaded by the systemClassLoader. Isolating them in classes was just the first step. I had to remove them from my jar file and create another jar file just for those JMSClient specific classes. Then this jar file was only included int custom classLoader that I created when I wanted to instantiate a JMSClient session.
I had to create an interface in the primary jar file that could be loaded by the systemClassLoader to provide the stubs for the individual methods that I needed to call in the MessageSender/QueueAdmin Classes. These JMSClient specific classes had to implement the interface so as to provide a relationship between the systemClassLoader classes and the custom classLoader classes.
Finally, when I loaded and instantiated the JMSClient specific classes with the custom classLoader I had to cast them to the interface class in order to make the method calls necessary to send the messages to the individual JMS Servers.
psuedu code/concept ....
Primary Jar File   - Included in ClassPath
Class<?> cls = ClassLoader.loadClass( "JMSClient.MessageSender" )
JMSClientInterface jmsClient = (JMSClientInterface) cls.newInstance()
jmsClient.sendMessage()
JMSClient Jar File - Loaded by Custom ClassLoader Only
MessageSender impliments Primary.JMSClientInterface{
    sendMessage() {
        Class<?> cls=ClassLoader.loadClass( "JMSClient.QueueAdmin" )
        QueueAdmin queueAdmin=(QueueAdmin) cls.newInstance()
        queueAdmin.JMSClientSpecificMethod()
    }

How to dynamically load data from DB in an HTML control present in jsp

Hi Friends,
Can anyone help me with this problem:
I am working on a portal application. My requirement is to dynamically load data in an HTML control present in my JSPs. The controls are combo-boxes, text-fields, list-boxes etc. . Also, the events to load the data are like On Form load, On selecting a value from the combo-box, on clicking on a text-field etc.
If any one can help me with a code snippet, than that would be highly appreciable. If not then the approach to achieve this will also be helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Gaive.

Dynamic loading of a class at runtime with known inheritance

Hi,
I am trying to dynamically load a class during runtime where I know that the class implements a particular interface 'AInterface'. Also, this class may be linked to other classes in the same package as that class, with their implementations/extensions given in their particular definitions.
The class is found by using a JFileChooser to select the class that implements 'AInterface', and loaded up.
Because the name of the class can be practically anything, my current approach only works for certain classes under the package 'Foo' with classname 'Bar'. Some names have been changed to keep it abstract.
private AInterface loadAInterface(URL url) throws Exception {
     URL[] urls = { url };
     // Create a new class loader with the directory
     URLClassLoader cl = new URLClassLoader(urls);
     // Load in the class
     Class<?> cls = cl.loadClass("Foo.Bar");
     return (AInterface) cls.newInstance();
}As you can see, all that is being returned is the interface of the class so that the interface methods can be accessed. My problem is that I don't know what the class or package is called, I just know that the class implements AInterface. Also note that with this approach, the class itself isn't selected in the JFileChooser, rather the folder containing Foo/Bar.class is.

Also note that with this approach, the class itself isn't selected in the JFileChooser, rather the folder containing Foo/Bar.class is.These two statements are mutually contradictory...My apologies, I worded that wrong. My current approach (the one given in the code) selects the root package folder. However, what I want to be able to do, is to simply select a single class file. The current code just makes some assumptions so that I can at least see results in the program.
As you said, if the root of the package hierarchy is known, then this could be achieved. The problem is that the user either selects the package root or the AInterface class, but not both.
Is there a way to get package details from a .class file to be used in the actual loading of the class?

Can I call a dynamically loaded subvi from a subvi inside a library?

I have an application that uses a .lvlib, this library has many subvi's. From my executable, I can dynamically load subvi's within the library using the "open reference.vi" and passing in just the name as long as the subvi's being called are listed in the "always included" list of my build specification. What I want to do now is load an external subvi (external to the library) using the same method. But when I try to do this, LabVIEW cannot find the external subvi even when it is included as part of the executable. It seems the Paths are getting messed up. Here is what is happening:
Lets say I have Mylibrary.lvlib as my library in the following path C:\MyProject\Mylibrary.lvlib,
and internal.vi as my subvi within the library in the following path C:\MyProject\MySubVis\internal.vi,
and external.vi as my subvi outside of my library in the following path C:\MyProject\external.vi
This is all in the same project.
I'm using the "Open VI Reference.vi" from internal.vi to call external.vi, and I'm including both internal.vi and external.vi in my executable (MyEXE.exe for illustration purposes). When I run this part of my code I get an error and LabVIEW reports the path of my external subvi as: C:\MyProject\MyEXE.exe\MySubVis\external.vi which is really the path for my library subvi. Why?
Either way, when I hard code what is supposed to be the correct path to my external subvi: C:\MyProject\MyEXE.exe\external.vi, LabVIEW can't seem to find the file, its' almost like an access scope problem because I'm trying to access something outside of the library. Is there such thing? If the file is part of my exe why can't LabVIEW find it??? How can I call my external.vi BY NAME from my internal.vi??
Any help is appreciated.

Your hardcoded path is incorrect. How do you have the build configured? Are you using the new executable structure or the pre-8.2 structure.

Dynamically loading a class that is part of a larger loaded package

I am dynamically loading a class that is part of a large package, much of which is loaded at startup. The code directly references protected variables in the parts of the package that is loaded by the default class loader. Attempting to access these protected variables gives an access error when the class is dynamically loaded that doesnt occur when the class is loaded at startup.
Is there a way to make this work?

To answer my own question -- no
A reference from http://access1.sun.com/techarticles/DR-article.html says:
The use of Dynamic Class Reloading can introduce problems when classes that are being dynamically reloaded make calls to non-public methods of helper classes that are in the same package. Such calls are likely to cause a java.lang.IllegalAccesserror to be thrown. This is because a class that is dynamically reloaded is loaded by a different classloader than the one used to load the helper classes. Classes that appear to be in the same package are effectively in different packages when loaded by different classloaders. If class com.myapp.MyServlet is loaded by one classloader and an instance of it tries to call a non-public method of an instance of class com.myapp.Helper loaded by a different classloader, the call will fail because the two classes are in different packages.
So not being able to access non-private variables in this scenario is the way it works.

Reusing dynamically loaded movies

Hello,
I am trying to reuse a dynamically loaded movie which has
been loaded with a movie clip loader. The movie loads fine and can
be displayed once with no problem. However, I would like to be able
to store this movie so that it can be resused again without loading
it from the URL again. Is there a way to do this?
I found this in the docs:
quote:
the problem w/ attachmovie is that one must have a link
identifier (in linkage panel) in order to attach it.
there is no way (that i know of) to attach a *dynamically*
created clip - either by duplicateMovieClip or
createEmptyMovieClip.
I'm hoping this isn't true. What if I had a JPG I loaded
dynamically and I wanted to use it 100 times? I can't imagine
having to load the JPG 100 times.
I need something like attachMovie(), but that only works with
movies that are already in the library. Does anyone know if there a
way to reuse a dynamically loaded movie? I've tried all sort of
combinations of createEmptyMovieClip, duplicateMovieClip, and
attachMovie but nothing has worked.
FYI - I am using Flash 2004 MX Pro and ActionScript 2.0.

yes, load it 100 times. it will be retrieved from the user's
browser cache after the first time so this is not the limitation
you're thinking it might be.

Dynamically loading images: UI Loader issue

I posted this last week, but did not show good examples to get help. Admittedly, I am new to flash, so this may be a bit elementary, so my apologies in advance. I am trying to dynamically load images through the UI Loader component. Attached are the errors I get, and although I think that the coding is close to correct, when I publish, it just flashes up then restarts the movie... any ideas? Thanks in advance.

there's a problem attaching things to this forum. so, nothing is attached.
can you copy and paste your error messages to this forum?
