Java web start + DB connection

Hi,
I am using java web start to launch swing application. Swing application will connect with MySQL DB. I have deployed war file into global machine.
I can access the basic web page to launch application. After downloading the application, I can't access DB when try to login the system.WAR file and MySQL DB located in global machine.
Please help me How to connect DB when using Java web start.
Thanks in advance

Is the JWS app. going to be delivered by the same host as where the DB resides? Yes
I got communication link failure exception. Now i understand my methodology is simply wrong.
My Method :
     public static Connection getConnection() throws Exception{
          Connection con = null;
          Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
           con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://Global IP:3306/<dbname>,<username>,<password>);
          return con;
     {code}
Please give me suggestion to connect global db from downloaded local Swing application.

  • How can I connect to a database using Java Web Start?

    When I run the application without Java Web Start, the program can get the driver and connect to the database. However, when I try to use this same application with Java Web Start, the program can not load the driver. Why is this happening? I am using a mySql database driver.

    I assume you are trying to connect using JDBC, are did you include the jdbc jar in your resources ?

  • Java Web Start running JasperReports

    Dear Patrick,
    Recently I have used iReports for generating report through java & deploy it through java web start.
    I had taken all the measures you had mentioned in your previous replies. But I am not able to view the report. ( might be it is not compiliing)
    I am using new version of jasperreports-0.5.3.jar
    also through console it is running well.
    Also it is not giving any errors. can u have any idea about this.
    Might be it is silly mistake I have done.
    My code for report generation is :
    public class SReportA
         public SReportA()
         try
         JasperDesign jasperDesign = JasperManager.loadXmlDesign("/home/ora/iReport/RSENIORITYLIST-A.xml");
         dori.jasper.engine.design.JRBshCompiler theCompiler = new dori.jasper.engine.design.JRBshCompiler();
         JasperReport jasperReport = theCompiler.compileReport(jasperDesign);     
         Map parameters = new HashMap();
         parameters.put("uname","admin");               
         Connection con=null;

    It happens the same under Windows 7 and Linux -using openJRE and icedtea as substitution of Java Web Start-.
    I'm behind a proxy. In my browser -Chrome, IE and FF- putted the info of the proxy and I can browse. Aldo tried to put the info in the Java "Network Settings". It did not work -the launching of the console-.
    I installed the last Java Web Start in Windows 7 -Java7 Update5-. I disabled my anti-virus and firewall. Always the same result.
    Could you help me please. I don't have idea of what is going on.
    Greetings.
    PD: I tested from other machines of the company and it works. So, I guess is my laptop. I exported the oracle certificates from those machine and imported them into mine.

  • Java Web Start Application surprisedly does not start anymore based on new JRE1.7.0_45

    Hi everyone,
    we have to maintain a self-developed Java Application which is running based on JRE1.5.0_51 (x64). Our recent client machines have JRE1.7.0_40 (x64 too) installed in addition to the mentioned (and needed) JRE1.5.0_51 (x64).
    Everything was fine up to the point where we tried to install the newest JRE1.7.0_45 (x64) as the new version for doing the web start magic. The result is that our application (which is/was unchanged!) does not launch anymore. The strange thing is that we do not get any StackTrace, Exception or something else like this.
    The startup process simply hangs :-(
    Nothing has changed (application itself, firewall, network settings, hardware) apart from the new JRE version. It's reproducible at will. If I install JRE1.7.0_40 (x64) the application starts, if I install JRE1.7.0_45 (x64) the application hangs.
    I can say for sure, that in both cases (*_40 AND *_45) Web Start is able to do the synchronizing job and to launch the application base on the correct JRE1.5.0_51 (x64).
    My guess is that in case of an installed JRE1.7.0_45 (x64), the application hangs when it tries to connect to the database (Oracle 11g) via JDBC.
    I found a little hint in the Web Start Console. Therefore I had to switch the trace level of the console to 3 (which includes security, network and basic)
    In case of an installed JRE1.7.0_40 (x64) - which leads to a running application - I will receive the following output:

    These last "network:" log entries will never stop. This will lead to an infinite loop which results in a great memory leak. I have to kill the process via windows task manager in order to get rid of it.
    Does someone out there has the same problem? Are there any new additional security issues which prevent my client to establish the database connection on port 1521?
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any hint on this issue!
    Regards,
    Alex

    Resolution: We still were not able to solve this issue! The only way to get out of this is to install the JRE1.5 as the x64 variant. In this case no switching from 64-bit to 32-bit is needed and everything is on track again.
    But this is still strange and unexplainable :-(

  • How to setup Proxy for Java Web Start App ?

    I'm having trouble getting Java Web Start to work.

    thanks - Will

    OK, on my XP Pro system I went to...
    Start IE -> Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan Settings -> Proxy Settings
    This is my 'Local Area network (LAN) Settings panel...
    - user Proxy server for LAN is checked
    - Address is blank

    So do I plug something in here... the ip address of my linksys wi-fi router and a port number or what?
    My Java Web Start Preferences won't let me click 'Use Browser' only None or Manual
    If I click Manual, I don't know what to plug into the HTTP Proxy and HTTP Port fields...
    I tried the ip address of my router... thinking it may have a built in Proxy Server... and port 8080 as indicated by the Help page for the Java Web Start... but no luck.
    I really appriceate any help on this...

  • Java web start error running Asset Editor or any jnlp page

    When I try to launch Asset Editor or Import/Export or any of the jnlp pages that runs using Java Web Start, I get an error. Java 7 Web start starts but It throws “Could not connect to Server. Please check your Java Web Start and Browser proxy settings”.
    I read conflicting opinions on the internet as to what version of JRE/JDK is needed and potentially some issues running Java Web start with Java 7. I have 64-bit java 1.7.0_45 JDK/JRE installed and no other version. I tried installing 32-bit 1.7.0_45 as well. I have tried to run it from 32-bit as well as 64-bit browser also. All situations provide the same error.
    However, when I install JRockit, it seems to work fine. But we cannot use jrockit. We have to use IBM JDK/JRE 7 eventually. Currently, the java web start does not work on Oracle Java as well as IBM JRE.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    I found a solution for this problem. We have to apply patch 17634436.
    https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/patch/PatchDetail.jspx?_afrLoop=149081897091441&patchId=17634436&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=xfsajjmff_74

  • Refresh an open web page on closing an applet launch from Java Web Start

    Hi
    I launch an aplication via Java Web Start from a link in a web page. I am looking to a solution to refresh my web page when I close my applet.
    Thanks in advance to give me the solution or only to let me know if it's possible or not.

    everything's possible. but this is not trivial. there is no direct connection between the html page that launched the app and the app. You can create an indirect connection by having the app notify a server process when it closes and having the page periodically polling the server for the app's status.

  • Problems to download with java web start

    Hola to all.
    I have the following problem. My application not discharge of the server when you exist a new version. The application runs off line but when exist a new version must download the last version, is the idea.
    If I execute for first time the "launch.jnlp" file ( that is to say in the client equipment never execute the application ) java web start connects and download correctly the application and starts application, and creates the icon on the screen. But if the application already existed java web start executes the application that there is in the client and not download the new version of the server. I think, that problem its happen because the time waiting the response of the server is too long, and executes the local application. To resolve this, i execute the application on java control panel in online mode, and this work ok, because find a new version.
    I leave you the launch.jnlp file.

  • Java Web Start and SSL

    I have an AP designed as a Java Web Start program,
    and I want it to connect to a web service via SSL.
    I know how to do that in a normal AP. Just add a property like :
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore","my.keystore");
    But since a JAWS program is downloaded from server, and don't have a my.keystore on local file system. I can't set a property that way. Is anyone know how to deal with this?
    Can a signed jar file help?
    Thanx in advance.

    We had the same problem. There's basically two ways around this. One is extremely easy and the other is a pain.
    easy: Use a CA certificate on the web server (Verisign, thawte etc.). All java applications already have a keystore (cacerts) that recognizes
    these CAs. This keystore will be used when the cert on the server is a CA. Only drawback - $250 or so for the cert.
    painful: Programmatically extract your personal certificate keystore from the deployed client jar. Also programmatically apply it to your SSL handler. Basically - you have to code what's done in a regular App simply by "javax.net.truststore=keyfile". I didn't explore this option
    too much as the easy option was viable.

  • Java Web Start(the program itself) doesn't start in offline mode

    Hi,
    My Java Web Start doesn't start when my internet connection is not on??? I have a program that needs also offline access so it's crucial to get JWS work without internet connection as well.
    The problem might be in those sun's example programs you can't remove? Maybe the program crashes when trying to get some information for those programs?
    (please read the question well. My problem IS NOT in the .jnlp-files <offline-allowed/>)
    And by the way those sun's demo programs that are supposed to start in offline mode(Internet connection not required) don't start even if you have started them once with the connection on.....
    -orainio

    I have the SAME problem -
    BUT....
    it NEVER works for me (online & offline)
    this stupid logon pops up and after a while disappears and nothing happens!
    got no fire wall, proxy etc...

    Also, How to configure MIME mapping for .jnlp files on J2EE server (I do not have another server) and if there is a need, how do i deploy the jar and the jnlp file on J2EE server?
    Kindly help.....

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, but I do have configured the webserver (Apache 2) correctly and the server is NOT returning a 404 error.
    To check this I used the a tcp monitor (Apache Axis).
    The error message in Java Webstart is identical to the one discribed above.
    In the tcp monitor I see the following :
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  • Java Web Start doesn't run by clicking on the link, how can I fix it?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to make a Java Web Start application, I finished everything, but when I click on the link which is connected to the jnlp file, it only displays the XML code in the explorer instead of running the program. But if i download the jnlp file and double click it, it starts the Java Web Start. Anyone can tell me how to fix this?
    I thought may be JRE installation, but I tried to click on some sample on the web, it works fine for other Java Web Start application, but not mine.
    Thanks you.
    Kit

    Does your webserver know about JNLP? You need to map the .jnlp extension to "application/x-java-jnlp-file".
    See the Web Server Setup section of http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/jnlp/

  • Java Web Start applications and Gatekeeper

    As more of our customers upgrade to Mac OS X 10.8 or later or purchase new machines we've had to deal with helping more of them work around Gatekeeper for our Java Web Start deployed applications. Many discussions found on the web show the confusion that surrounds this technology and how it interacts with Web Start apps. Most "solutions" suggest various security changes like allowing apps downloaded from anywhere. The one we most often employ is to control-click the JNLP file and choose Open. Then the dialog has an option to "install" the application anyway.
    My take-away from the discussions has been that Gatekeeper is looking for what it considers to be executable code, including JNLP files and Java applets, to be signed via codesign which is stored as an extended HFS attribute and as a result is not transferred over HTTP unless the file is wrapped into some bundle like xip or in a disk image (dmg). Neither of these are a click-and-run experience and move me from the realm of Web Start deployment to just wrapping it up as an Apple app bundle.
    Before OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) was released, Scott K published on the Talking Java Deployment blog an article titled Java applications and Gatekeeper where he suggested the best possible user experience comes from creating an app that is bundled with Java and signed with an Apple Devloper ID using the codesign tool. (Note this is not the same as the code signing from jarsigner in the JAR/META-INF. The article ends, edited, with a statement that Gatekeeper does not apply to command-line tools like java, javac, javah and so on. It has been my experience that it does seem to apply to javaws or whatever is used on the Mac to launch a Web Start app from a JNLP file. It is as if Apple has said they don't trust the Java security model for downloaded dynamic code and are adding an extra restriction that seems to severely limit the "click-and-run" functionality of Web Start or applets.
    Is there anything I can do to get a JNLP file to "just work" for Mac end users like it use to before 10.8 / Gatekeeper?
    Is there anything in the works from Oracle to fix this issue?

    Probably not the case here, but considering it is a development machine it is something to check. The symptoms you describe are exactly what happens when you setup JWS applications to be remotely debugged, and specify suspend=y. In that case, before the application launches, it waits for Eclipse (or some other development environment) to connect to it. I do this all the time and what happens before Eclipse attaches to the process is exactly what you describe. Check the JAVAWS_VM_ARGS to see what VM parameters are being used.

  • Java Web Start and Policy File

    Hi,
    I've a problem for Java Web Start (JWS) in working with Policy File.
    I like to apply a policy file for a JWS application to fine tune the secuirty setting instead of granting permission in JWS.
    For an applet environment, I can apply policy file like this:
    appletviewer -J"-Djava.security.policy=all.policy" writeFile.html
    However, in JWS environment, I try to apply in JNLP file as below but fail:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <jnlp spec="1.0+"

    Could anyone please help on this!
    Many thanks!

    There are two problems with what you are trying to do.
    First, setting a property PROP=VALUE in the jnlp file does not mean that java will be launched -DPROP=VALUE, instead, javawebstart will call System.setProperty(PROP,VALUE) before your apps main() is called. The difference is, the property will not be set at the time the VM is initialized.
    Second, the javaws security policy will not allow you to set arbitrary properties in an unsigned application. Only properties begining with "jnlp." or "javaws." (and possibly a few other specific props known to the native javaws code) can be set in an application unless <all-permissions> is specified and the app is signed.
