Jar files ------wljrockit/docs142/JRA.zip

Hi
I have download the JRA from
http:edocs.bea.com/wljrockit/docs142/JRA.zip
Here i have 5 jar file.
Where i shd add the jar files to use the Utility
can anyone mail me in detail
Thanks in Adv

Hello Maria,
It doesn't matter where you put the files as long as they are in the
same directory. I suggest you create a directory somewhere on your
machine called 'jra' and place all the files there. Then you should be
able to run the JRockit Runtime Analyzer tool by doing
java -jar RuntimeAnalyzer.jar
Best regards,
/Helena

Zip or Jar files and how to use them

Hi ,
I have this problem. I have some .class that must be
packaged some way to deploy in the application user's directory. At some point of the execution the application will ask to create some object define in one of that classes I mentioned. So how can I package those classes, in a jar file or in a zip file? And most important will it work out ?!.
Many thanks in advance.

Using JAR Files: The Basics

Problems uncompressing compressed jar files

Hi all,
I am seeing an unusual issue where some entries don't have full header info. By this I mean, according to the ZIP spec, it is possible that the header info is stored before the file data, so you CAN get the right info. But sometimes, it can be stored as an EXT header, where it is some place AFTER the compressed file data.
So most of the time we are getting good size/comrpessed size info and can properly get the entry out of the zip file. But sometimes, we get -1 values and are not able to get the entry at all.
We are working on allowing a classloader to get classes out of an "embeded" zip/jar file. In other words, a jar file can contain embeded zip/jar files (only 1 level deep), and our classloader not only finds the classes of the main jar file (using the URLClassLoader capabilities, but if a class being looked for is not found in the main jar file, we then try to find it in any embeded jar/zip files. Finding the classes is fine, trying to create .class files out of the compressed data from an embeded jar/zip is the problem.
We are getting NegativeArraySizeExceptions thrown.
URLConnection connection = resURL.openConnection();
byte[] classData = new byte[connection.getContentLength()];
InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
The resURL points to an embeded jar/zip within the outer jar file. The exception is thrown in the 2nd line above, when we try to create the byte[] array to hold the class data. The getContentLength() returns -1.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ZipInputStream only reads the local file header (LFH) of an entry if getNextEntry() is called, when the size and compressed size are not in the LFH becourse the sizes were unknow when the LFH was written the sizes are set to -1 and a flag is set to indicate that the entry has an EXT header after the data which contains the sizes.
So I think the only thing you could do at the moment it to write an extension of ZipInputStream that checks if the flag is set and then looks for the EXT header to get the sizes but the difficult part is to get the data, ZipInputStream uses a PushbackInputStream to read the data but that InputStream doesn't support the mark method.
Good luck.

HELP!!! Could someone help me with a jar file issue and JRE 1.3 & 1.4

We had a problem with the last Oracle patch in that it tried to extract from a jar file using the "jar" executable. But the jar executable is not installed on the server where we have JRE 1.4
On one server, Jar.exe is installed where we have JRE 1.3. Is the jar.exe apart of JRE 1.4? If so, where do I find the jar.exe file? If it's not part of JRE 1.4, what do I need to do to get the jar.exe onto the server where JRE 1.4 is installed?
Thanks, Carl

Thanks for your replies.
I know that a jar file is like a zip file but I'm asking, "Can you download just the jar.exe without downloading the JDK?"
I keep reading everywhere that you can only get the jar.exe tool if you download the JDK but I can't use JDK(because it is a compiler) on our website here at work.
Thanks,
Carl

Deploying 1 jar file in 2 diferent domains

Hi,
We have a requirement where single BPEL code needs to be deployed in 2 domains.Inside teh domains , we are going to chnage the configuraion of JMS, Oracle Db etc .But the JNDI names will be same accross the 2 domains and in the BPEL process we used this common JNDI name.I careted a doamin (Let assume domain1) and deployed my application after configuring the JNDI names for JMS and DB.My application deployed successfully and worked as expected.Now, I craeted 2nd domain and tried to use the same JNDI name with diffrent Database configurations.But when I tried to update, it says JNDI name already exist.Could you please advice me if I need to modify anything in my doamin?
Also, when I tried to open my emanager with domain2 configurations, I can see the BPEL process which I deployed in domain1 .why is my 2nd domain showing the deployment under domain1 though I din't deployed anything in 2nd domain.
Thanks Much,
Madhuri

You want it in a WAR file, not a JAR file - i.e. a zip file just like a JAR file but with a .war extension and the following path structure:
./WEB-INF/classes
./WEB-INF/lib
./WEB-INF/web.xml
Where your JARs go in the lib directory, plain classes in their package structure under the classes directory and your JSPs, HTML etc anywhere you like other than WEB-INF.
Then you just put the WAR in Tomcat/webapps.

How to get resources from jar-files

Hi
in my app I load an image via the Toolkit.getImage() method.
Works fine if the app and the image are in folders on disk.
It fails to load the image, if the app (and the image) is packed in a jar file.
How can I get the image from there?
I try to get the image as follows:
String s = getClass().getResource("MyApp.class").getFile();
AppPath = s.substring(0,s.lastIndexOf("/"));
String PathToImages = "/images";
MyImage = (Image)Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(AppPath+PathToImages+"/logo32.gif");The App starts and works, it just fails to load the images.
Any solutions??
thanx in advance

This is actually pretty easy. First a little background.
A Jar file is just a Zip file, with a few constructs for Java.
The getResource() method is used to create a mapping to data within the Jar file, but is actually not necessary after you know how the mapping works.
Just to give you an example of getResource:
// returned is a url to the resource you want from your Jar file.
URL myURL = MyClass.class.getResource("images/myimgage.gif");
// then you can use this URL to load the resource
Image img = getImage(myURL);If you were you look at the value of myURL you would see something similar to the followiing.
jar:http://www.mywebsite.com/mydir/myjarfile.jar!/images/myimage.gifJust to break it down for you.
The line always starts with the word jar:
Followed by the path to your jar file.
A sepearator !/
Then the file you are loading from the Jar file.
jar: path_to_jar_file !/ path_to_resource_in_jar_fileSo if you'd like, you could just create a URL object, and define the path to the object using the above method rather than using getResource.
Anyway, back to your code. What I would do is print out what you get for:AppPath+PathToImages+"/logo32.gif"I'm thinking you might be getting 2 "/" in your path because I think:AppPath = s.substring(0,s.lastIndexOf("/"));will leave the "/" at the end and the next line you add the "/" in front of the image directory name. So you my have the following for your image path.mypath//images

JAR file format

Hi,
I need to write a C program to retrieve class files from a JAR file. Can anybody point me to any resource that explains the format of a JAR file. Basically, I need to write my own "unjar" utility. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A JAR file is simply a ZIP file. zlib will do the decompressing for you!

Making jar files using API

hello!
I m trying to make a jar file using the API. When the jar tool is used for the same manifest file, it is correctly written and an executable jar is created. When I use the API, the jar file is made but it is nor executable. Here is that part of code:
jar = new File(parent, jarName);
System.out.println("Executing jar command...");
//create jar file here
Manifest mf = new Manifest(new FileInputStream(manifest));
fos = new FileOutputStream(jar);
jos = new JarOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(fos), mf);
BufferedInputStream reader = null;
byte[] data = new byte[BUFFER];
int byteCount = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < fileNames.length; i++)
System.out.println("Adding " + fileNames);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileNames);
reader = new BufferedInputStream(fis, BUFFER);
JarEntry entry = new JarEntry(new ZipEntry(fileNames));
jos.putNextEntry(entry);
while((byteCount = reader.read(data,0,BUFFER)) != -1)
jos.write(data, 0, byteCount);
}//end while
reader.close();
}//end for
jos.close();//close jar output stream
fos.close();
I m sure someone will be kind and intelligent enough to solve the problem. Thank you!

A jar file is simply a Zip file. So the two API's are quite similar. First, you create a CRC - that is a way to make sure that the file isn't corrupted and that all the bytes are there (it's a polynominal algorithm that returns a number which is written in the Zip(Jar) file as well). Each entry is a file or directory. Before writing any data to the Zip(Jar) file, you have to write info on the actual file (like name, path, length etc). That's why you use putNextEntry(). Each file can have it's storing methods, although the most common is to use the "default" methods (built in the ZipOutputStream/JarOutputStream)
But in this example you set the storing methods on the entry. You use the setMethod() method to switch between either storing or compression (don't know why, but in this example you don't compress the file - you should). I myself don't use the setSize() and setCompressedSize() methods at all (and it works fine). Don't know exactly what are the implications of using them. Neither do I use the setCrc() method (If I think a little, I've only used this API once - I don't use it that much), but it's quite straightforward. It's used to check that the data is ok, and since the CRC number is the result of an algorithm, it needs to know the bytes of UNCOMPRESSED data: that's why you use crc.update() on the bytes. After that you actually write all the info set before to the Zip (Jar) file using putNextEntry(). But remember that a ZipEntry doesn't have any data. You'll have to write it yourself: thus the need for the write method: Here are two small programs I used for Zipping and Unzipping. Changing them to work for Jar files is extremely simple:
//Zip.java

import java.util.zip.*;
public class Zip
     public static void main(String[] arg)

                    System.exit(0);
               System.out.println("Compressing files into file " + arg[1]);
               ZipOutputStream out = null;
               try
                    out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(arg[1]));
               catch (FileNotFoundException ex)
                    System.out.println("Cannot create file " + arg[1]);
                    System.exit(1);

                    new File(arg[1]).delete();
                    System.exit(1);
               for (int i=2; i<arg.length; i++)
                    System.out.println("\tCompressing file " + (i-1));
                    FileInputStream read = null;
                    try
                         read = new FileInputStream(arg);
                    catch (FileNotFoundException ex)
                         System.out.println("\tCannot find file " + arg[i]);
                         continue;
                    out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(arg[i]));
                    int av = 0;
                    while ((av = read.available()) != 0)
                         byte[] b = new byte[av < 64 ? av : 64];
                         read.read(b);
                         out.write(b);
                    out.closeEntry();
                    read.close();
                    System.out.println("\tDone compressing file " + i);
               System.out.println("Done compressing");
               out.finish();
               out.close();
          catch (Exception e)
               new File(arg[1]).delete();
               e.printStackTrace(System.err);

Deploying Jar file in Tomcat 4.1

Any guys knoe how to deploy jar files in tomcat4.1.
i know that it should be in the "install_dir/WEB-INF/lib" folder.
but after i develop an applcaiton using packages and zip it to a jar file how do i deploy it?

You want it in a WAR file, not a JAR file - i.e. a zip file just like a JAR file but with a .war extension and the following path structure:
./WEB-INF/classes
./WEB-INF/lib
./WEB-INF/web.xml
Where your JARs go in the lib directory, plain classes in their package structure under the classes directory and your JSPs, HTML etc anywhere you like other than WEB-INF.
Then you just put the WAR in Tomcat/webapps.

Ant vs JDev generated jar files

I'm migrating the 10.1.3 BPEL sources to an automated build environment using ant. Almost all of my processes migrated seamlessly using the 10.1.0,.2 based build hierarchy, but one is choking. I can compile it fine but upon deployment it fails, even after bpelcclasspath updates. It has some local classes supporting the worklist API that JDev wraps up nicely but these are neglected by ant. I haven't been able to resolve these missing classes with any of the available ant arguments. For some reason I understood that JDev leveraged the ant system in 10.1.3 to perform its builds. I don't see how though. The compiler message shows:
C:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\jdk\jre\bin\java.exe -jar C:\JDEV10132\jdev\lib\ojc.jar -source 1.5 -target 1.5 -noquiet -warn -nowarn:320 -nowarn:486 -nowarn:487 -deprecation:self -nowarn:560 -nowarn:704 -nowarn:489 -nowarn:415 -nowarn:909 -nowarn:412 -nowarn:414 -nowarn:561 -nowarn:376 -nowarn:371 -nowarn:558 -nowarn:375 -nowarn:413 -nowarn:377 -nowarn:372 -nowarn:557 -nowarn:556 -nowarn:559 -encoding Cp1252 -g -d C:\JDEV10132\jdev\mywork\Common\BPELWorkList\output -make C:\JDEV10132\jdev\mywork\Common\BPELWorkList\output\BPELWorkList.cdi -classpath C:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\jdk\jre\lib\i18n.jar;C:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\jdk\jre\lib\sunrsasign.jar;C:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\jdk\jre\lib\jsse.jar;C:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\jdk\jre\lib\jce.jar;C:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\jdk\jre\lib\charsets.jar;C:\product\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\jdk\jre\classes;C:\JDEV10132\jdev\mywork\Common\BPELWorkList\output;C:\JDEV10132\integration\lib\bpm-infra.jar;C:\JDEV10132\integration\lib\bpm-services.jar -sourcepath C:\JDEV10132\jdev\mywork\Common\BPELWorkList\src C:\JDEV10132\jdev\mywork\Common\BPELWorkList\src\mypkg\TaskAssignee.java
You can see the mypkg elements in the JDev command. Comparing the jar files produced by the different utilities shows distinctly different products: Note the size difference:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 wzscqz root 264624 Apr 26 17:28 bpel_BPELWorkList_1.0.jar
-rw-rw-rw- 1 wzscqz root 6204184 Apr 26 17:25 bpel_BPELWorkList_v2007_04_26__62657.jar
The latter is JDev of course. When I look at the contents of the jar file I see that the BPEL-INF library is missing. Here is a snippet of the jar listing for the JDev version:
drwxrwxrwx 0 26-Apr-2007 17:24:18 BPEL-INF/lib/
-rw-rw-rw- 2150 26-Apr-2007 17:24:18 BPEL-INF/lib/bpelclasses.jar
-rw-rw-rw- 1409767 26-Apr-2007 17:24:18 BPEL-INF/lib/bpm-infra.jar
-rw-rw-rw- 4526876 26-Apr-2007 17:24:18 BPEL-INF/lib/bpm-services.jar
The private class file is located in bpelclasses.jar.
I've extracted this file and moved it to the BPEL PM (Solaris) and got the process to deploy and run correctly. I would like to resolve the build process though without this band-aid. Anyone know how I can resolve this missing components?

Hi JJ,
After reading your comments, i think i am really a new kid on the block. In the codes I inherit, there are some input text files which contain values to be read by the java files but I didnt include them in my ANT build script. The reason for this input files is to provide flexbility in changing values without the need to re-compile. what commands can I write to include these files during compile? when i build my jar file, how can i "zipped" these input files into my final jar file?
At the moment, this is what I wrote in my script.
<target name="MyTask.compile" description="Compiles the Task">
<mkdir dir="${MyTask.classes}"/>
<javac srcdir="${MyTask.src}" destdir="${MyTask.classes}"/>
</target>
<target name="MyTask.jar" description="JARs the Task" depends="MyTask.compile">
<jar destfile="${MyTask.dist}/MyTask.jar" basedir="${MyTask.classes}" >
               <manifest>
               <attribute name="Main-Class" value="Main"/>
               <attribute name="Class-Path" value="lib/lib /lib/ant.jar"/>
               </manifest>
</jar>
</target>
I tried to use javac to decompile the class files produced by ANT and NetBeans and they are the same. I compiled them using the same version of jdk. What do you mean by classpath?
Thanks.

Using an External Jar file

I was hoping my intro programming class would be easy, as I've done some C++ before, but go figure, it's not.
Although the language/concepts aren't to difficult to learn, it seems compiling programs is. For one program, I'm giving an external .jar file to use. I'm using crimson editor and I do have it setup with the jdk1.6.0. It compiles all my other programs besides this one (command line doesn't work either).
Essentially, I've created a project, I have an instantiable class, and an application class. I can call the instantiable class in the app class and creating/modifying objects works just fine. Then I have a .jar file added to the project that came from the class (supposed to be used for I/O, don't know why we can't just use the standard java classes, but oh well). anyways, when I try to call the methods in the .jar file I get the following error:
---------- Capture Output ----------
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\javac.exe" file.javafile.java:6: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable externalJar
location: class file
          int value = externalJar.getIntInput();
          ^
After doing some searching, I found that it might be due to the classpath. So I set the classpath to the directory.. no go. Then I set the classpath to the externalJar.jar file and I get the follow error:
---------- Capture Output ----------
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\javac.exe" -classpath C:\folder\externalJar.jar file.javaerror: error reading C:\folder\externalJar.jar; error in opening zip file
I'm at a loss. It works when I use Eclipse and I can just add the external jar file, but I don't want to use eclipse, it's slow and bulky. Any other solutions to this problem? Thanks.
E-Rod
*names were changed for a reason.. i already know i'm not misspelling anything

The error about not being able to find the variable externalJar has nothing
to do with the classpath. It's just that your code in file.java refers to this variable,
but you have not declared it anywhere.
Variables within a class, the names of classes and the names of .jar files
which contain packages have nothing whatsoever to do with one another.
If you are using a variable externalJar intending it to reference your external jar
file in some way, then your file.java code is seriously wrong.
(Also, classes and their associated source files should begin with an
uppercase letter.)
Regarding your attempt to specify the classpath when you invoke the
compiler (always a good idea), I think you should also include the current
directory (if that is where file.java is). Like this:"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\javac.exe" -classpath C:\folder\externalJar.jar;. file.javaThe "error opening zip file" thing is odd. Make sure you are
able to read it (permissions OK, no other process has it locked). And that
it's not corrupt (Did you create it? If so, rebuild it. If not, aquire another copy.)
Sorry for the generalities and guesswork, but without seeing any code and
without knowing your directory structure or the contents of this externalJar.jar
it's hard to do any more.

Jar files downloaded from SkyDrive are being renamed to jar.zip files

I have cut and pasted the following series of exchanges from when I posted the problem onto SkyDrive's support forum. I hope that someone might be able to propose a better solution to the problem that I have. Thanks for your help.
MDSms asked on
Uploaded jar files convert to jar.zip files when downloaded from SkyDrive
I have uploaded an executable jar file to SkyDrive. (I will call this FILE.jar). The file is intact and indicates that it is a jar file type when the file is viewed by Properties within Skydrive. However, when I download (or others download through a share link) the file, it is being saved onto the local computer's download file with .zip appended to the file name (FILE.jar.zip). The downloaded file can be renamed to remove the .zip appendage and subsequently run successfully. However the folder options for the folder where the downloaded file resides must be changed for disable "Hide known file extensions" prior to being able to remove the .zip appendage. While I have figured out the workaround for this problem, this manual renaming procedure is entirely too cumbersome as a solution for sharing this file with others. How can I prevent or disable the FILE.jar file from being renamed to FILE.jar.zip when it is downloaded from SkyDrive?

The file was uploaded by first logging onto my SkyDrive account using Windows 7 Pro and Firefox browser, then a new folder in my account was created without sharing privileges, then the folder was opened and the FILE.jar was uploaded into the folder using the "Upload" option on skydrive account menu. Sharing privileges for FILE.jar were then created (view only), and the shortened url link was sent to the individuals that I was trying to share the file with. was then turned on. When these people use the link to download the file, it is being saved as FILE.jar.zip.
When I try to download the file through the skydrive account download option, it is being saved onto my computer as FILE.jar.zip and this occurs when I try to download the file while signed into my skydrive account as well as when I am not signed into my skydrive account (using the shared file link).
This PNG shows the information provided by clicking on the download icon (down arrow) within the Firefox browser; note that the file was downloaded as FILE.jar.zip and that the source was live.com. When I use Windows Explorer to look at the same file within the Download folder itself, examining the file's properties details also shows that it is being saved as FILE.jar.zip and is of the file type compressed zip folder.
This PNG shows the information displayed to me from my skydrive account when I view the originally uploaded file's properties; note that the information shows that the file is a jar file type.
When I utilize Internet Explorer 9 to access the file, FILE.jar is being downloaded onto my computer as a jar file type. This PNG shows the information provided by Tools/View Downloads within the IE9 browser. Note that in this instance, the information indicates that the file is being downloaded from yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
It appears to me that the problem (the FILE.jar file being renamed to FILE.jar.zip) arises from the fact that a jar file downloaded from skydrive using firefox, is being sent from live.com whereas a jar file downloaded from skydrive using IE9 is being sent from yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
I want to make sure that a person receiving a share link from me for FILE.jar is able to download it without modification to the file name regardless of which browser is being using to access the link. How can I make sure that this occurs?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi MDSms,
I appreciate you for providing as much information as you can about the issue, as well as for uploading screenshots on what you see from the downloaded file. About your initial concern wherein the file gets renamed with .zip after the original file extension, this is solely dependent on the browser that you are using since they have a different safety/security measure that needs to be implemented.
Moreover, you may see the file servers live.com and yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com to be different with one another, but they actually are sent from the same SkyDrive server. This in turn, depends on the web browser where the file is being downloaded as well. The live.com file where it was downloaded from Firefox simply masks its original server yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
As for your last query about your recipients downloading the file without the hassle of renaming it from a .zip file, you can simply tell them to download it through Internet Explorer.
Should you have other queries or additional information that might help in our investigation, I highly encourage you to post them here.
Regards,
Michelle

Michelle,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I could simply tell them to download the file through Internet Explorer, but is there another solution or workaround to the problem I have described here? Am I being punished with the curse of this problem simply because I (or the individuals with which I wish to share FILE.jar with) choose to use Firefox instead of IE? Will the use of any other browser instead of IE (Chrome, Safari, etc., etc.) still result in the same problem?
You stated that it is "solely dependent on the browser that you are using since they have a different safety/security measure that needs to be implemented"........could the problem be overcome by designating one or both of the file server addresses as Trusted Sites within the browser options setting?
I look forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

Hi MDSms,
We understand your concern. Since the issue does not occur in Internet Explorer, it has something to do with Firefox's security feature. You might want to verify this concern by contacting Firefox support.
Hope this helps. Let us know if we can further assist you with SkyDrive.
Thanks,
Melanie Joy

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

How can I stop Microsoft IE renaming .jar files to .zip files?

I realise this question has been asked before on this forum, but as far as I can tell no answer has yet been posted.
If I put a .jar file on my webserver for people to download, later versions of Internet Explorer will rename the file from xxx.jar to xxx.zip on the client's machine. Is there any way of stopping this from happening?
It looks like the problem is caused by IE examining the contents of the file and realising it uses ZIP compression. As a result, any file that I create (not just jars) that uses Java to zip the contents, when placed on a web server, gets interpreted as a .zip file by IE regardless of its extension.
I realise there are some workarounds such as zipping the .jar file, creating a .exe file from the .jar, telling everyone to use Firefox etc., but none of these are really acceptable or particularly efficient. I am really hoping there is something I can do to the .jar file or the compression process that will tell IE to leave the file alone.
Thanks,
Jo.

You can save any kind of document on iCloud Drive, as long as the file size is smaller than 15GB.
See: iCloud Drive FAQ
Create a new folder for your Office documents on iCloud Drive and drag your documents there, or select iCloud Drive in the File Chooser panel, when you save a document.

Zip/jar files...

I am writing an application that uses a JEditorPane to display HTML pages. I want to let the user plug-in their own pages using a zip or jar file...i.e. the user stores their HTML pages/images in a jar file and my application can pick these up and display them in the JEditorPane. This works fine for the HTML pages but the images are not displayed. Does anyone know how I can get the images of a HTML page to display without writing the page and/or images to the user's machine? In other words how can I access the images in the zip or jar file via the HTML document?

any Browsable Component will not access the Filestructure of a Zipfile
therefore you have to build up a ProxyComponent which will make the Resource accessable
Step 1
Write a Component which can Access Zip Files
Step 2
Build up a Component wich parse the htmlFile and replaces the Image links with an url of a Servlet like <a href = "\pics\Foo.jpg"> to Step3
write a Servlet wich is Named ResourceServlet wich will send the HTML File if no Parameter is given
(the htmlfile is loaded by Component 1 and Parsed by Component2)
and if Parameter obj is given send the requestet image (loaded by component 1)
Effect is, if you request the html File with aBrowsercomponent, the Browsercomponent will load all images afterwards suczessive
Step4
access the Servlet with a JTextField by Using a HTMLenabled variant and specifing the url:
localhost:8080/servlet/ResourceServlet

Firefox 35 downloads sometimes jar file as a zip one

This link: http://montoyo.net/wd2.php?t=mod&v=latest is a "Minecraft" mod that is supposed to download it as a .jar file(like it happens with Google Chrome or Opera), but Firefox renames it as a .zip file. Please solve this. Thanks :D.
