Java plugin within AIR?

While the AIR runtime is in deep a webkit based browser
combined with the FlashPlayer, is it possible to install further
plugins to its browser, e.g. Java or Shockwave? Is the Webkit based
browser extendable in such a way?
If this is possible, communication between a JavaApplet and
the AIR Application around could be done using a local socket
connection.
Any experiences with that?

I too am interested in an answer to this.
When trying to open an applet i get the message :
"You do not have the Java Plug-In installed. Please Download and
install Plug-In."
There needs to be a way to extend the webkit used in the air
runtime.

Using Java Plugin within Firefox on a cd with zero installation?!?

Hi,
is there any way to get firefox (firefox mobile or portable version) together with a java plugin on a cd such that it can be used by systems even if they have not installed any java themselves.
I think it might be possible on linux systems, putting both the jre and firefox (mobile) on a cd and creating a symlink within the plugins folder that links to the jre directory on the cd. But on Windows this won't work because of the lack of symlinks and the required registry entries.
But nevertheless is there any way to get this accomplished on windows platforms?
As far as I understand the plugin mechanism on windows (please correct me if that is not the case), the plugin dll to be put into firefox plugin folder somehow tells firefox where to actually find the jre, whereby this location is resolved via the corresponding windows registry entry. Might it be possible to write another plugin dll version that just does not look for the registry entry but just takes the jre location out of a possible hardcoded path? But where to get the sources of the default plugin dll?
Or do you know any other way that must not include any installation or change/addition of registry entries on the clients???

How can i stop a java plugin within a browser?

hi
i need to test my applet with and without browser's support. i would like to know how can i stop a plugin in IE4/5 and netscape or in another way?
thanks
Shay

Find the Plugin icon...on Windows, it is in the Control Panel (Start->Settings->Control Panel). Double click the icon, and you will see "Enable Java Plug-in" . Just unselect it.

How do I fix my Java plugin?

In my Firefox browser, I have two potentially vulnerable plugins: "Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.400.43" and "Java Platform SE 7 U40." I uninstalled Java Platform (I believe it was 6.0), so I'm not sure why it is showing as a plugin. Anyway, in my attempt to uninstall the Java 7 Update, I get an error message that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." I'm prompted to "Click Ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "jre.1.7.0_21-c.msi" in the box below.
It appears that a folder within my c drive is missing. I don't understand it as this is a file that I do not mess with. Apparently, it is the subfolders within the c drive; specifically, the appsdata subfolder was hidden! Even after I unhid it, I'm still missing the local subfolder which is where Java normally would go. Java is instead located on a local low subfolder, but I can't uninstall this because this path (Local low) is not recognized). Any help is much appreciated!!
I am not a computer geek, so can you please provide the answer in as simple a manner as possible? Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.

The first thing you should do is to '''uninstall''' older versions of Java. <br />

How to access the Java plugin certifcate store from a signed applet?

Is there any easy way I can access the certificates in the Java plugin certificate store?
I think I can load the C:\Documents and Settings\<login user>\ Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\security\trusted.certs into a KeyStore and examine the certificates that way.
But I just wonder if there is more robust way to do this without loading up an external file since an applet is executed within a Java plugin.
Thank you :)

Problems with WebUtil under Sun Java plugin

Hi,
I have a Forms application using WebUtil which works fine under Oracle jinitiator for years. It works with both MS IE and Mozilla Firefox (some other browsers were also successfully tested). Now when Mozilla released Firefox 3.6 requiring next generation Java (http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/2010/01/firefox_36_ebs.html) Oracle jinitiator (Java version 1.3.1.22) cannot work and I was forced to download and install the latest JRE plugin version (http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6u18-windows-i586.cab). I provided required formsweb.cfg modifications:
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0018-ABCDEFFEDCBA
jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/update/1.6.0/jinstall-6u18-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,6,0,18
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_18
Now my application starts (previously it required a plugin installation) but fails with the error:
oracle.forms.webutil.cApi.CApiFunctions bean not found. WEBUTIL_C_API.REBIND_PARAMETER will not work
See full Java console log below:

This happens on the very first call to WebUtil function in the ON-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger.
My questions are:
- May I configure WebUtil for both jinitiator and Sun Java plugin usage?
- What is missed in jpi configuration preventing WebUtil normal execution?
Thank you in advance,
Ilia

Hi All,

The following separate configuration section is used in this situation:

jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_18
Please see highlighted with bold parameters to make sure that all recommendations were taken into account. Nevertheless the error message shows that CApiFunctions.class was not found and this class is within frmwebutil.jar, which is also referred within this configuration section (highlighted with bold undrline). So it looks like a sort of incompatibility of frmwebutil.jar with Sun JRE plugin 1.6.0_18. Do I need another version of frmwebutil.jar to run with next generation Java?
Thanks in advance,
Ilia

Netscape 6 & Java Plugin

Hi,
I am trying to write an Applet which will run in both Netscape and IE, using the Java Plugin. I have problems scripting the applet using Javascript when in Netscape - due to problems with Live Connect, I understand.
I realise that Sun say Netscape 4.X cannot script applets running in Java Plugin but I thought Netscape 6 should be able to. I have tried on Netscape 6.1 running Java Plugin 1.3.1_01 with no luck - I keep getting an error: "document.FT.getString is not a function". Has anyone had any luck at getting Netscape 6 to script applets running through Java Plugin? I have looked through newsgroups but haven't found any information on scripting plugin applets on Netscape.
I would be very grateful for any information!
Kevin.

OK, here's my code. The class the applet is in is called Applet and it is contained within a JAR archive called signedApplet.jar. This should work OK although I have changed the name of the Applet and the archive for the purposes of simplicity.

Why are the Java plugins required by medical systems not allowed to be re-enabled, which would allow medical facilities to continue functioning?

The problem with the most recent blacklist is is that the health care industry is behind in technology. Many medical systems are old and require older versions of Java to function. The blacklist has caused countless facilities to lose the ability to order life saving medications. Even my tech support desk has been bombarded with calls about this for the last 2 days. What can be done to allow these older versions of Java work within Firefox and restore facilities back to full operation?

Hi JRChadwick,<br/>
Sorry to hear about the health care industry's lag in technology. There are old versions of Java '''being actively exploited'''. Oracle released an update in February that fixes the vulnerability. What Mozilla did was put a softblock on it, which means that users get a notice that he plugin will be disabled, and give them the option of enabling it. To enable it:
# Go to '''Tools > Add-ons > Plugins'''.
# Beside Java, click '''Enable'''.
If the Enable button is not available, the blocklist must have been updated before Mozilla changed it to a softblock, instead of a hardblock. In which case, do this:
# Go to '''Help > Troubleshooting Information'''.
# Click on '''Open Containing Folder'''. That should open your profile folder in Windows Explorer.
# Close Firefox.
# In your profile folder, delete the files '''blocklist.xml''' and '''pluginreg.dat'''.
# Start Firefox.
At some point after that, you should then get the blocklist prompt again, but this time the option not to disable it should be there.
But I really can't stress this enough: those versions of Java are being '''being actively exploited''' and the latest version is not vulnerable. If there's any chance you can use the latest version of Java with the medical systems, that's the way to go.

Java plugin support discontinued

According to some techinical articles released by Apple, Java update 10 for OSX 10.5 no longer supports the java plugin. As a result, java will no longer work with Firefox or Chrome unless users update to OSX 10.6. Although there may be valid technical reasons for doing this, it is really inexcusable that this was not CLEARLY communicated to users in plain and simple language before the update was uploaded. Here is part of the explanation released on one of Apple's mailing lists (but not the general public):
"Firefox and Chrome users are currently unsupported on PPC since the current versions of those browsers are = Intel-only. Anyone with an Intel Mac should upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to continue to receive any updates at all.
Plugin2 in it's current state was barely usable when run under J2SE 5.0 anyway, so in the end, anyone who was relying on applets on Leopard was probably already using Safari anyway."
I think it's pretty arrogant that Apple assumes no one using Leopard was using FF or Chrome to browse sites supporting java and to not even bother informing them that support was going to be discontinued.
Just saying....

The problem is summarized and a workaround is given in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668639 (comments 4 and 8):
Quote:
This bug is entirely Apple's fault. For some reason Update 10 removes
the JavaPlugin2_NPAPI.plugin soft link from /Library/Internet
Plugin-Ins/ (and also the ability, in the Java Preferences utility, to
choose whether to run applets "in their own process" or "within the
browser process").
JavaPlugin2_NPAPI.plugin is still present on the system, where the
Java Embedding Plugin can still find it. So Java still works in FF
3.6.18 and earlier. And so this bug is relatively easy for a somewhat
sophisticated user to work around:
Just do the following at a Terminal prompt. For it to work, you'll
need to be logged in using an account with administrator privileges.
$ cd "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/"
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Resources/JavaPlugin2_NPAPI .plugin

How to enable Java plugin?

How do I enable Java within Firefox?
I have gone to about:config and set the extensions.blocklist.enabled to "false", I have deleted blocklist.xml, pluginreg.dat from my profile and I have re-started Firefox and made sure the Java plugin is enabled (I set to Always Activate or Always Ask). I have checked to see that Java itself is allowing it by doing the appropriate things in the Java Control Panel and testing with other browsers.
When I visit a page with Java using Firefox, it still says plugin disabled. Anything else I missed? I'm running Firefox 32.
Please don't give me no garbage about security, safety, blah, blah, blah. I understand the risks, this is for debugging my own web page/application on my local machine which sits behind a firewall. I really wish Firefox would stop treating its users like idiots. Along with the invalid cert error , this might be the last straw to make me ditch Firefox.

I also want to know how to TURN ON Java in Fire Fox.
It's NOT in the Applets or Add-ons or Plugins. I have searched for a way to turn ON Java.
WHY is this is hard to understand?

Error adding "-agentlib" param to Java plugin configuration.

Hi all.
I'm trying to debug a Java applet running in a web browser. I had "-Xmx512m -Xms192m" as parameters of environtment execution. Typing 's' in console appears "javaplugin.vm.options = -Xms192m -Xmx512m". Correct at this point.
java.vm.name = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
java.vm.specification.name = Java Virtual Machine Specification
java.vm.specification.vendor = Sun Microsystems Inc.
java.vm.specification.version = 1.0
java.vm.vendor = Sun Microsystems Inc.
java.vm.version = 11.2-b01
javaplugin.nodotversion = 160_12
javaplugin.version = 1.6.0_12
javaplugin.vm.options = -Xms192m -Xmx512m
javawebstart.version = javaws-1.6.0_12
line.separator = \r\n
...The problem is that if I set parameters as "*-Xmx512m -Xms192m -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,address=localhost:3190*", when I type 's' in console javaplugin.vm.options property is empty. It doesn't appear memory parameters neither.
java.vm.name = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
java.vm.specification.name = Java Virtual Machine Specification
java.vm.specification.vendor = Sun Microsystems Inc.
java.vm.specification.version = 1.0
java.vm.vendor = Sun Microsystems Inc.
java.vm.version = 11.2-b01
javaplugin.nodotversion = 160_12
javaplugin.version = 1.6.0_12
javaplugin.vm.options =
javawebstart.version = javaws-1.6.0_12
line.separator = \r\n
...As you can see, JRE version is 1.6.0.12
How can I set this parameter to debug applets running in web browser?
Thank you very much.

Hi Franc,
my answer might be a little bit late but I had the same problem but I found a possible answer.
I used Firefox 3.0 for testing my applets which worked fine. But I guess with release 3.5 handing over parameters for the plugin did not work. The debug parameters where blank.
It might be a bug in the Browser or in the plug-in...
Because when I started the java console within MS IE I found the parameters where there.
Hope this helps...

Forms Web application is not working on FireFox Browser-with java plugin

Hi All,
We are running custom build forms application using forms 10g and application server 10 g Rel 2. We are using Java Plug-in 1.5.0_06. The application is working fine before recent update from firefox .Now it's not working and keep on asking additional plug in required and taking to java.sun.com for installing the plug in. Even after installing when we access the application it will do the same thing. I tried uninstalling the firefox with the older version and with diffrent java plugin versions.. but the problem still there.. any help will be mush appriciated...
Thanks...

plugin and webstart are not yet available in 64bit jre distributions from Sun.
These are targeted to 6u12 or there abouts.

Fedora 13: After upgrading from FF3.6 to FF6.0.2 I no longer have a Java plugin. How do I configure the Java Plugin for FF 6 ? There is no Java Plugin at the site

I am Fedora 13x64 bit. I just installed FF v6.0.2 from the FF download site. I backed up the existing FF 3.6 as firefox_old
I need to have a Java plugin to access company site, how do I configure the Java Plugin ?
At the Plugin area in FF6 there is no Java Plugin available, even after a search.
I have Java 1.6.0 installed in the OS at:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
I googled how to configure Java Plugin for FF 6 for Fedora 13 and the trick was to create a soft link from /home/<userID>/.mozilla/plugins to the above libnpjp2.so

This document (part IV and Appendix) has some debugging and troubleshooting information that may allow someone involved in the problem to resolve the cause:

Any steps that you can take to isolate the problem to specific Java versions, browsers, applets, web sites, operating systems (and versions), etc, would enhance the possibility of getting help.
You can try the applets at this Sun location and see if any of them are "slow".

Java Plugin 1.3.1 on RedHat Linux 7.1

I downloaded and installed the Java SDK 1.3.1 for linux.
When I try to view an applet written in Netscape I get the following error message on the bottom left corner of the browser window:
ClassdefError javax.japplet not found.
However, I can see the applet in the appletviewer.
In order to install the plugin I did the following:
I removed the old plugin:
rm -fr $Home/.netscape/.java
rm $Home/.netscape/plugin/javaplugin.so
Then, to install the plugin I set the netscape environment variable :
export NPX_PLUGIN_Path = /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/bin/plugin/ns4/javaplugin.so
How can I tell whether the netscape 4.7 browser is using this plugin??
Could someone please tell me what is causing the error?? Please be very specific, I am new to RH Linux.
Thank You

try to make a link to your java plugin from netscape plugin directory:
cd your_netscape_dir/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/bin/plugin/ns4/javaplugin.so try to fid netscape dir in /usr/lib/netscape/ or /usr/local/netscape ..

I am running 10.5.8, and just updated my java to java 5 update10. Now my firefox is missing the Java plugin, and I can't load any Java applet at all. When I try it with Safari, it hangs when certain Java applet loads. HELP!!!

Suddenly my Java plugin is missing and i can't load any Java with Firefox at all, even though i have it enabled in the browser! i've tried loading in java embedding plugin, but it doesn't work. what should i do???

It's not in Tools> Add-ons >plugins? Should be Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers 13.5.0. What are you seeing there? I don't think it's called the embedding plugin any longer.
Might try getting the Firefox 5 standalone application. Trash the current one and replace it. Doing this won't affect your Profile or any settings.

If it's enabled, how can it be missing?
If this doesn't work, ask here. No need to register. Make sure you put (Mac) in the title.

EDIT. Oops, may be different for 10.5.8. Was thinking recent Java update for 10.6. But try installing a new app anyway. In the past, this got me the latest Java plugin.

Java plugin within AIR?
