Java.exe vs iexplore.exe

We're running Java 1.6.0_16 on our machines to access Oracle Forms for our E-Business system.
We are running the Java applet with the "next generation Java Plug-in" disabled (as this causes issues within our system)
I've noticed that our install is seemingly not consistent.
Some users who launch java (via the program) while getting into the forms, get an "iexplore.exe" entry in their "control panel - performance" while others get a "java.exe" entry.
The users who get the java.exe are more prone to crashes and "loss of focus" when in the forms.
ALL users get the "java.exe" entry in "control panel - performance" if the next generation java plug-in is enabled.
How is it possible that the same install can lanch in two different ways?
It almost seems like the action of disabling java plug-in is not being recognised.
How do we remedy this situation to only get the "iexplore.exe" running in control panel?

No, I was recommending you launch the applet using javaws, then close the browser, since the browser is entirely irrelevant to the JWS launched applet, which is now free floating on the screen like a JFrame (e.g. outside a web page/browser).
Not on our application I'm afraid.
We have the initial html/xml JTF Framework page a user logs into, there they have a list of their responsibilities, some of these responsibilites will take them into other html/xml pages, others will launch java and into the core application.
As the java is launching another web page is opened, it's almost like a placer, un-interactive window, which then leads to the actual app running java opening.
So you basically have 3 windows open, the initial web page, a "placer" web page and the actual app.
We can close the initial web page without a problem, but this is a stable window. When we have crashes it is this window that remains unscathed by the crash, and what is used to launch the app running java again.
If we close the second html "placer" page it will immediately crash the app running java. In fact it has a disclaimer saying:
IMPORTANT: Do not close this window. Closing this window will cause Oracle Forms-based applications to close immediately, losing any unsaved data. This window may be minimized safely at any time and may be closed once all work in Oracle Forms-based applications is complete.
Closing the actual java app will naturally leave the other two windows open.
My problem is that during the launch process, some users get a java.exe program launching while others the aforementioned iexplore.exe. In both cases Java is running and the app is functioning correctly, it's just that where java.exe is being displayed as the active program, there seems to be a tendency for the program to crash, while those displaying iexplore.exe are more stable.
I'm trying to understand why the exact same call would in some situations launch iexplore.exe and in others java.exe.
As far as I can see, setup and install is identical. As previously stated, if "next-generation plug-in" (in Java Control Panel) is enabled, then the entry will always read java.exe.
My thoughts are that depite this next generation plug-in being disabled, this is not being picked up as being disabled in some region of the java and is causing us instability.

  • Iexplore.exe and iexplore.exe*32 running together in Task Manager

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Windows 7 64bit client and when I kick off IE10 I noticed in Task Manager that both iexplore.exe and iexplore.exe*32 are running at the same time; now I thought that it was add-on or add-ons but after I disabling all of them I still get
    the same thing. Could it be a Local Policy in place or maybe an advance setting that I am missing? Not sure where to look now.

     Not sure where to look now.
    That's normal.  The 64-bit process is called a "chrome task" and the 32-bit processes are called "tab tasks".  You can use  WMIC  to check them:
    wmic.exe  Process  where  Name="iexplore.exe"  Get  CommandLine, ProcessId
    you will notice that they are correlated by  SCODEF:  being equal to the chrome task's PID.

  • Plugin 1.3.1 sometimes runs under explorer.exe rather than iexplore.exe

    Mates,
    I've written a large application that can also run as a signed applet using the 1.3.1 plugin. It runs beautifully and I'm very happy with the plugin technology. However, I've noticed that for certain users the plugin runs under the shell executable, explorer.exe, instead of the browser executable, iexplore.exe, even though it's started from the browser. When the applet/application is exited, it calls System.exit(0) (not ideal, I know) thereby shutting down the JVM, the plugin, and the executable the plugin is running under. No doubt you can imagine the shock on a user's face when closing my applet caused the shell to crash! This, of course, is happening because Microsoft tried to blur the lines between the browser and the desktop early in the browser wars. I can't figure out how to turn it off!
    Can any of you help with this problem. If you'd like to test it, just run a small applet through explorer.exe by right-clicking on "My Computer", Open, navigate to the applet, etc. It helps if you have qslice from the resource kit open so you can see the threads opening under explorer.exe (or iexplore.exe if you try it from a browser). My system specifics are Windows 2000 sp1 with IE 5.
    Thanks,

    Hi Ziad,
    Just wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem?
    I am experiencing a similar situation where browser windows are controlled by the same Explorer.exe process (not IExplore.exe) on certain machines. This means that when the browser windows are closed and reopened, the JVM is not reset. Because the machines are up for long periods of time, the JVM eventually runs out of memory and crashes.
    I am trying to find a way of forcing browser windows to be spawned in separate IExplore.exe processes (instead of running under Explorer.exe).
    Help Appreciated,
    Mark

  • Faulting application iexplore.exe, faulting module jvm.dll

    I see there are a few posts on this sort of problem, but please bear with me as this is somewhat different.
    I develop a browser Add-on and one of my customers is experiencing an IE7 crash using Oracle/Jinitiator, with an event log message:
    Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.6000.16827, stamp 49a74cd5, faulting module jvm.dll, version 0.0.0.0, stamp 4469a9b3, debug? 0, fault address 0x00050e18.
    This may be related to my Add-on, so I'd like to know of any reasons that an Add-on could cause this situation. I see from other posts that it can be caused by an Add-on using a different JVM to the one used by the oracle app, however we don't include a jvm or use any java code, so it seems like it must be a different problem. The crash occurs on start-up of the oracle app and I'm told they're using Jinitiator on Win XP SP2. I don't know the details of their jvm or jinitiator versions.
    I'm completely unfamiliar with oracle apps and JInitiators, so any pointers would be great. E.g. suggestions for them that may work around any such problem (like upgrading to latest JVM), or possible causes of any conflict between my Add-on and Jinitiator.
    As my customer's app is not externally accessible I've not yet been able to replicate this. Here's another question (Example Oracle Forms app viewable online? asking for example apps that I might be able to use to replicate this.
    thanks,

    Our browser Add-on is only available for IE, and the problem only happens when the add-on is running. So we've not tried Firefox but it wouldn't help unfortunately.

  • Exec(iexplore.exe) works in IE6 but not IE7

    The following statement invoked from an applet works fine with IE6 but not with IE7:
    Process process = Runtime runtime.exec(iexplore.exe slicprint.html))
    With IE6 the browser (iexplore.exe) is launched and the slicprint.html file is rendered (appears on screen).
    With IE7 the program just "hangs", i.e.the browser does not get launched (nothing displays on the screen).

    Welcome to the Sun forums. But..
    >
    The following statement invoked from an applet works fine with IE6 but not with IE7:>
    Process process = Runtime runtime.exec(iexplore.exe slicprint.html))..please refrain from posting such rot. That statement could not compile, let alone run.
    Instead, it is better to [copy/paste errors and code snippets,|http://pscode.org/javafaq.html#exact] or better still, post an SSCCE of failing code.
    Hmm.. and just so we are all clear. Why exactly are you not calling [AppletContext.showDocument(URL)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/applet/AppletContext.html#showDocument(java.net.URL)] to achieve this functionality that has been available to sandboxed applets since Java 1.1 and works, most of the time, cross-browser and cross-platform?

    Followup: MachineOwner

    hello,
    thank you for the suggestions.
    For some odd reason why I disabled citrix hooks completely via
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
    "LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000"
    The issue persisted, even though it was apparent that the registry had effect, because no seamless windows were presented and the published application looked like a window with a blank desktop.
    What "solved" the issue was either of the following scenarios:
    1) specifically disabling hooks for IE
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\CtxHook]
    "ExcludedImageNames"="iexplore.exe"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\CtxHook]
    "ExcludedImageNames"="iexplore.exe"
    2) having a specific version of flash on the client box - 11.7.700.261. Even though policies are in place to FORCE server side flash content rendering. Bizarre.
    I doubt we'll have proper citrix support on the matter, so workarounds are left.
    And what is still puzzling - why does the physical app work without disabling hooks... Won't be pursuing further, I've had more than enough of this issue. ;)

  • Some web pages causing 100% CPU use of iexplore.exe since Flash update

    I'm having a problem with certain Amazon.com pages hanging my
    Internet Explorer 6 using Flash Player 10,0,12,36, causing 100% CPU
    use for iexplore.exe and requiring me to End Task to quit. All the
    pages effected have an interactive mouseover Size and Color chart
    that intially says "Loading" but then says "Select Size and Color"
    once loaded. One mouseovers the various color patches and size
    options, each time giving item availability in that option. When
    the pages hang the IE browser with 100% CPU use that chart never
    gets to the "Select Size and Color" point, instead stuck at the
    "Loading" status. This happens most times, but not every time.
    Sometimes the pages load correctly, after a brief lag as it loads
    the chart.
    Amazon pages without this chart load fine.
    The start of this problem coincides with updating Flash.
    I can prevent the problem from happening almost every time if
    I can quickly get my cursor into that chart area while the page
    begins loading. If I allow the pages to load fully with no
    interaction they will hang almost every time.
    I have not noticed any problems on those same web pages using
    Firefox using Flash Player 9,0,124,0
    I also have not noticed any issues with other sites using
    Internet Explorer either. (YouTube, QVC, CNN...etc, all OK.)
    I had posted for assistance on the Experts Exchange site and
    there was some debate on whether the chart was a Java or
    Flash-based chart, so initially it was being approached as a
    possible Java issue, so I removed all Java versions on the system
    and installed various versions, but the same problem persists.
    I've downloaded but not run the Flash Uninstaller, as I'm
    reluctant to uninstall the Firefox Flash version without knowing
    for sure I could install 9,0,124,0 again.
    I've downloaded an archived fp9_archive.zip, which seems to
    indicate the contained files flashplayer9r124_winax.exe (Internet
    Explorer) and flashplayer9r124_win.exe (Netscape) would be versions
    9,0,124,0 to install after running the uninstaller.
    Can anyone check a few of the links below and see if the
    "Select Size and Color" chart is Flash based? If so, would
    executing the files listed above install 9,0,124,0 into my
    respective browsers again?

    No. The host command is a client (sqlplus) command. It is not part of the server-side PL/SQL language.
    Yes, PL/SQL provides interfaces to the server for executing server executables:
    - external jobs via DBMS_SCHEDULER
    - Java stored procedures allowing access to external commands via the Runtime class
    - EXTPROC interface for external procedures (typically access to DLLs)
    Keep in mind that launching IE from a Windows service, is HIGHLY questionable. Oracle run as a Windows service. A service does NOT have native and direct desktop (GDI) access. See GDI+. Microsoft states in this article:
    >
    GDI+ functions and classes are not supported for use within a Windows service. Attempting to use these functions and classes from a Windows service may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions or errors.

    So perhaps you need to explain WHAT the actual problem is, instead of how to make the hack you have in mind, work.

    Thanks for your assistance.
    I would not be able to test whether the underlying issue is resolved aftter following your recommended steps like re-adding the weblogic service, since the application has been up and running ever since the application service was restarted last time (a month ago).
    1. I am looking to understand the root cause of the issue that stopped the service a month ago. Is there any log file on the server that would have recorded this issue?
    2. I am assuming 'Core DLL' means one of the operating system's DLL..is that correct? Are you saying that this issue may be because one of the Windows files is corrupt?

  • Call iexplore.exe from apex page

    I have a requirement to have a link from my main application apex page to invoke a client windows os command 'iexplore.exe -noframemerging' (I think this ie option used to be -nomerge). The idea is, this will fire up a separate IE8 session in a separate browser session, thus partitioning it from any other IE sessions. I know in IE8 there is a 'New Session' menu option but we need a link that is more obvious/integrated within our application. Our idea is to "persuade" users to click this link in preference to 'New Tab' or 'New Window' option.
    Now, my quandary is how to do this. Should I be calling a Java Applet from the page (via Javascript) but is this "sand boxed" and thus will not let me call an executable for security reasons ?
    Obviously I would also like to cater for users running Firefox (which I presume could detect in javascript and pass the browser type into the applet).
    Is this sane, Is there any other way ?
    Any advice would be appreciated or has someone already been down this road and could give me some pointers or an example.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Our corporate application already has calls to similar executables (ie MS Word, Excel) to do letter merges, document transfers etc using signed Java libs on the backend server. I suppose this requirement is different as I'm wanting to run an executable on the client pc. So, are we saying it is not possible to run an 'iexplore.exe' on the client PC (using a signed Java applet) ?

  • Any System Command to get/know the Iexplore.exe path ???

    Hi,
    I want to know, where is the Iexplore.exe file in my system.
    Is there any System command to know the IE .exe path
    like System.getProperty("os.name") ??
    or manually we need to check all files ?
    Thanks for Advance.

    I think there is no 'system command' provided in Java or Win32 APIs.
    But if you need it, use some of third-party Java class libraries that can handle (read or write) Windows Registry and check some of the related keys that contain informations you want.
    ('HKCR\htmlfile\shell\open\command' key contains the current default html browser for example. You'd better to refer MSDN to find out more.)

  • Explicit path need to run iexplore.exe

    I am having a wierd problem with windows.
    When I run programs using the exec command, I generally can use strings like "java -jar JarFile.jar" as long as java.exe is in the path variable. For some odd reason, this doesn't work for internet explorer. I can run IE if I use the following exec string:
    "C:/Program Files/Plus!/Microsoft Internet/iexplore.exe"
    but
    "iexplore"
    and
    "iexplore.exe"
    don't work even if I specfically add "C:/Program Files/Plus!/Microsoft Internet" to the path variable. Does anyone have any idea why this is so?

    Hello dubwai,
    One thing you might want to check when setting your path is if the directory that you're adding to the path variable has spaces in it, where Microsoft Internet does...
    I am writing you from a Solaris box, so can't check how to include spaces in the PATH variable, but I believe you would enclose the directory with " " signs? I know you placed " " signs in your question, but you also did for "iexplore" and "iexplore.exe", so didn't know if you actually enclosed them, or if they were just used to emphasize the strings....
    Hope this helps,
    Ming
