Java application deployment/setup

I'm in need of some information about how to go about creating an installation program for my java desktop application. We have a big project due in two months and one of the requirements is that it needs to be deployable on any machine, including machines without the java runtime installed. Any ideas or suggestions? Any help is very much appeciated.

Also, one thing that I forgot to include. If the machine has an earlier version of the jre installed it should be updated. Is this possible? I really want to use java for this project :(

Sort order in Java Application (deploy in Oracle oc4j container)

I have a Java application deploy in Oracle OC4J container (EAR file).
In my Java application (jsp), I have a SQL statement who return data but the
sort order is wrong. The letters "é" and all characters with accents
appears at the end of the result.
I tried many things to change the sort order (NLS parameters in database
and OAS10g parameter files).
When I use SQL*plus on database server, that's working.
The sort order is wrong when I use the java application.
Somebody can tell me what and where is the NLS parameters to change ?
Thanks
Robin

Robin,
I'm only guessing, but it could either be related to the java locale or the CHARSET attribute of the HTML header -- and nothing to do with the NLS parameters.
Maybe you should try the Globalization Support forum?
Good Luck,

Java application deployment tool

Hey everyone, i'm having some serious difficulty deploying an ejb application on bea weblogic.
I cannot find the java application deployment tool, or any concise documentation for that matter.
I have experience writing jsps, javabeans, servlets etc. and deploying them with ant.
Thanks for any help on this tool and or deployment techniques for ejb.

You may want to direct your query to one of the web forums run by BEA. Most folks here are familiar with the j2ee specs and the Sun implementations of those specs.
These news groups may be a good place to start. http://newsgroups2.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb

How are java applications deployed?

i was just wondering. if i create a standalone application, how are they executed? i mean, do you create a .exe file of them or something?

There are many ways to deploy a Java application. Which way you choose depends on the nature of your application, on what are your customers, etc.
Narrowing your question to J2SE applicaitons (e.g. Swing-based client apps), you still have many options.
The most frequently used are
- Web start technology
- Java-aware installers (create conventional setup.exe)
- Java2exe wrappers
- Simple batch file like "javaw -jar myjar"
- Executable (or clickable) JAR
I do not know if there is a complete "Java deployment guide", however this article may be of some help to you, as it describes all these options:

JAVA APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT?

i have a JAVA program.If i want to deploy it as a application,what software should i use.
is there tool to automate the above?
also i want it like a software when double clicked,opens a application window.

Have a read of the [Deployment Trail|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/index.html] of Sun's Tutorial. The section on executable jar files might describe what you are looking for.

Migrating a custom built BusinessObjects 6.5 Java application to XI 3.1

Hi,
We have a Business Objects 6.5 system which needs to be migrated to XI 3.1.
In the present Business Objects 6.5 system, we have a custom built Java application deployed on WebLogic. Its got a single sign on also configured from the Java web page into InfoView. A fair deal of SDK customization has been done to achieve this.
My question is, if we need to set up the same portal to function similarly in Business Objects XI 3.1, what are the steps to be followed? Should the code be re-written to adhere to the XI 3.1 SDK and then re-deployed on the new server? Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.
I found this document: u201CMigrating Business Objects 6 Customized Applications to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2u201D which provides info on this. But, Iu2019m not yet able to figure out where to begin.
I do not have great exposure to writing code and deploying web applications. So Iu2019ll be very grateful for any help and pointers on this.
Many thanks!
Rahul

More than likely it will need to be a complete rewrite.
At the top of this forum there is a post called [Read Before Posting - Where to find Business Objects Java SDK Resources|Read Before Posting - Where to find Business Objects Java SDK Resources; which you should read.
It has links to various Java SDK information and samples.
I would suggest starting there.

Can Web dynpro Java application run as background application

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to execute the Web dynpro java application in background without opening the application in a web browser.
We just want the WD java application deployed on the SAP Web AS server to be invoked and get executed as a background application by some external web application. It should not get open at any point of time in a web browser.
Can anyone suggest if it is possible?
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi Anurag,
Since Web Dynpro is "SAPu2019s standard UI technology based on MVC for developing user interfaces" (see http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-wdjava) it is by design not possible to run 'in the background'.
There are other possibilities to develop server processes per your requirements, such as developing web services or servlet development.
Web services are the de facto standard for executing business logic on a remote server. However, as I understand your external web application is not capable of sending web service requests, have you tried the servlet approach?
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/3f/f8bc3d8af79633e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm for more info on how to develop a servlet using NWDS.
Take particular attention to the sub-topic 'Servicing Client Requests' of the above guide
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Robin van het Hof

Hi Sarang
Please refer to the following thread. It should answer your question.
SSO between SAP EP and JAVA app on WebSphere Application Server 5.1
Also refer to the following document.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/nw/ibm/how to set up sso between sap enterprise portal and ibm websphere portal using tai.pdf
Hope that was helpful.

Java application mysteriously disappears

Hi!
We have a Java application deployed on an EP7.0.
It shows up normally as a tab called "upload interface".
However, frequently after several weeks, it will disappear UNLESS we re-start the EP7.
Could anybody explain why and how to fix it for good?
Thanks!

not much really, as it is such an old device and support for that platform would no longer be mandated by the app developer in question here.

How to Deploy Java Application?

I'm trying to deploy a Java application. I made a lot of code changes to it and previous developers have worked on it all using JBuilder4 (old! I know). I've
been testing it on my development machine with no problems. Does anyone know how in the world to save my changes and put it on another machine. It currently uses a .bat file that has environment variables setup in it to deploy. I know how to make it point to different directories, problem is when I try to move my code (bin, sources, etc folder) to another machine and run the app only some of my changes are there, but when I run the same program on my computer all of my changes the program works fine. I've tried creating another java project file (.jpx) and rebuild the project with no luck because it doesn't change this problem. I have a C/C# Visual Studio background. Is there any else I have to do like updating the .jar files or something? I'm lost. Please help.

Point conceded, cross-posting in itself is not that serious. What's serious is this:
1) You not telling us.
2) You giving us attitude.
3) You giving us more attitude when we complain about your cross-posting.
4) You still refusing to do what the people who were (read: were, not are) trying to help you asked you to do, which was keep them updated.
5) You acting arrogant.
6) You being arrogant.
7) You telling someone with 36,000 posts to "cut the attitude" like you're his father.
... shall I continue?
The nerve of people these days, I swear...
You honestly think you're entitled to help? Let me reference you to an excellent quote I once encountered:

First check is Java stack is running ?
make sure J2EE_ADMIN user not locked.
Ans please check password in secure area. check password in secure store should be correct.
may be you can try with restart of SAP and DB.
All the best

Hi Sujana,
For deploying Web Dynpro for Java application, J2EE_admin correct password must be stored in the scured area of config tool.
Your error show that J2EE_admin information is not correct.
So, Please ask your basis team to update new J2EE_ADMIN password or you can do it in scured area of config tool.
Hope this will helps you.
Thanks

" APPLICATION NOT FOUND" while deploying Web dynpro java Application

Hi, I am getting a message that "application not found " While deploying the web dynpro java application .......... please give me a solution for this .

Hi Ram,
This error comes generally when your webdynpro project does not have an application. To create an application in your webdynpro project follow the underlying steps:
<Project>->WebDynpro->Applications ---> right click and create New Application.
Follow the steps to create the application.
Now if you create archive and deploy, it will not give you the error again.

Ravi
