JavaHelp Distribution

I'm new to JavaHelp and haven't decided yet if I will use it. I'm not clear on one thing: do I have to distribute some file(s) to my users in order for their machines to work correctly with JavaHelp?
As it is, the JRE is big for modem users to download. If they will also need to download another file, it may become prohibitively large.

Hi,
there are several options with JavaHelp. If you plan to distribute a help set as electronic documentation for a Java application for instance, the user most probably has the JRE already or at least needs it for the Java application anyway.
For watching JavaHelp help sets from out of an application, a version of the JRE with Swing is needed. In addidtion, the JavaHelp runtime extension must be present in the JRE.
If you plan to use the help set for being viewed with a web browser, usually the browser needs to fulfill the same requirments. An alternative is to view the plain HTML topic files in the browser and use an applet to display the TOC tree without Swing.
For doing this you would need something like what is available at http://www.calcom.de/eng/product/hlpex.htm or at http://www.calcom.de/eng/dev/index.htm

  • Distribution of the javaHelp extension (jhall.jar) with application.

    Hello,
    I have been looking into a work around with regard to the fact that jhall.jar is not included in the JRE. As it has to be included in jre/lib/ext, it therefore needs to be shipped with the application.
    I have been looking at Java Web Start - I can't really make out exactly what it does - if anyone has deployed the javahelp extension with their app, please would you tell me how to go about it? Is Java Web Start the best way? If so, how does it work in simple steps?
    I really need a solution to this - any help would be greatly appreciated......:
    Thanks in advance,
    Clodagh

    Hello Clodagh,
    there are several ways of distributing jhall.jar. An alternative of placing it in jre/lib/ext is to put it in the directory where the application is located, that is using jhall.jar.
    Although others might do it differently, I am using Web Start to distribute jhall.jar. I you have Web Start installed you cann see a working example at http://www.lightdev.com/template.php4?id=3 (click on the link that says 'Read the tutorial online' or use the following link directly http://www.lightdev.com/shtm_hlp.jnlp)
    The help set that is viewed with this link remains on the server. Web Start only instally a tiny reader application in Java (4 KB) and the JavaHelp extension (jhall.jar) in the same directory on the client. It then starts the reader with the help set (on the server) as a parameter.
    To set up something similar, you need to create two .jnlp files, one for the reader app and for jhall.jar. The .jnlp file for the reader app refers to the one for jhall.jar. When it is started by Web Start, above mentioned parts are installed and started, i.e. the help set is displayed in the typical viewer of JavaHelp.

  • JavaHelp license and jh.jar

    The following question was asked on April 16 in JAVAHELP-INTEREST:
    "Can I embed Javahelp in the jarfile of my application, making it downloadable without accepting the Javahelp license."
    The response was:
    "Humm. Are you talking about the open source version (yes if your code is GPL) or the distributed version (no, but you can include the binary
    distribution (jh.jar) without any problem)?"
    The follow-up response was:
    "My project (edumips64 -> www.edumips.org) is a GPL project.
    I'd like to include binaries of javahelp inside my jarfile: is it possible to
    do so?
    I didn't do it because I know that sun requires you to accept an agreement before downloading Java, and javahelp had a similar agreement when I tried to download it."
    My open source project is currently in a similar situation and I was wondering what the answer is to the last question. Can we, for example, include jh.jar within our project making it downloadable without accepting the Javahelp license?

    using "Google" , www.google.com <- put this in the address box and press enter
    I found: http://www.uml.org.cn/j2ee/j2ee060401.htm

    But I didn't test them.

  • Distributing standard java extensions (i.e. Javahelp's jhall.jar)

    Hi,
    I wonder if anyone would be able to tell me how to distribute this jhall.jar file with my application (it is neccessary in order for my javahelp system to be viewed) . It needs to be installed in the jre/lib/ext directory in order to be effective.
    This must be a common occurance for developers as any extension must be dealt with like this, however, I am only a beginner in things such as deployment.
    I have been looking into Java Web Start...is this the way to go? If so, I wonder if someone could tell me (simply) how to go about this.
    Is there another way that might be easier to implement? All of the users should be on some form of UNIX, not Windows.
    Any clue and I would be over the moon,
    Thanks in advance,
    Clodagh

    Hi Clodagh,
    to add jhall.jar to the jar containing the application won't work. You could make a jar for your application and zip this jar together with jhall.jar into another zip file, so that the resulting zip file has two files:
    distribution.zip (contains...)
    yourApp.jar
    jhall.jar
    If you let a user download this zip the only requirement (apart from having java installed on the client) would be
    1. to unzip the zip file to an arbitrary directory and
    2. to start yourApp.jar
    With web start all this can be automated so that the user really just has to press a single link and all the rest is done by web start. You are right, the user has to have web start installed but web start is part of the JRE by default and a requirement for your app might be just to have JRE 1.4.1 or later...
    Certainly for web start a user needs a browser and a connection to the internet.
    If you would like to distribute an application without the above you still could use InstallAnywhere from ZeroG and build a setup package having your application and jhall.jar. With InstallAnywhere it is possible to even move jhall.jar to jre/lib/ext on the client upon installation.
    However, it takes much more effort to build such an installer package and it takes more maintenance effort later on too. As well, installer packages make up more cases on the client to take care of (all of which web start already deals with).
    I personally prefer the web start distribution and just require a user to have java installed (and certainly a browser). However, just to provide a zip file or an installer package might do as well.

  • How can I create a Teststand (1.0.3 or 2.0) distribution without having all of the VIs (6.0.2 or 6.1) in the same directory?

    How would I create a Teststand distribution of LabVIEW VIs and maintain the test VI directory structure that I want?
    I know that I have to use the application builder to build the custom operator interface, configure it as an ActiveX server, and launch the Teststand engine installation.
    The only problem that I have is using the VI packager which puts all of the test code and sequences in a single directory.
    This gets quite messy. There are just over 1000 files in the neatly orgainzed directory structure that I have now. (this includes support files, dll's and such)
    I have read brief appnotes on configuring the ini file(s) to use
    the vi search path that I want, but have not been able to get this to work. Maybe I'm not updating the correct ini? or have to include each subdirectory?
    I have currently upgraded from LabVIEW 6.0.2 to 6.1
    I am currently using Teststand 1.0.3
    I have not upgraded to Teststand 2.0 yet because I have not decided if I want to build at this revision or go through the extra work to mass compile Teststand at LabVIEW 6.1, install the LabVIEW 6i VI Packager Fix, and update the new Teststand LV operator interface with my changes.
    At present, I'm not getting the results I want and am quickly running out of time. I have to deliver the project by the 14th of July 2002.
    Sorry for the long question and thanks for you help.

    Hi,
    I dont think the problem is really related to using the VI Packager but more to how the OI interface applications relates to labVIEW File constants.
    If you are using the LabVIEW as the ActiveX Server then there should be no problems. But if you are using the Runtime LabVIEW server such as 'TestStandLVRTS' then the file constant would return different paths.
    eg for the Default Path you would get 'C:\TestStand\Components\User\RuntimeServers\LabVIEW' instead of 'c:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW'.
    Attacted is an example to show how to change these paths when using your runtime server. Unzip this into your teststand examples folder
    Put the INI file in the location of the \user\runtimeservers\labview folder.
    Change the labview adapter t
    o use TestStandLVRTS.exe. You can run the example sequence from either the OI or seqeditor.
    I hope this helps

  • Cannot find the Recv Logical system in Distribution Model

    HI experts,
    Im triying a Idoc to file scenario, the logical system for PI and R3 has been already created and assinged for the appropriate clients.
    and i ve created the port from r3 using tcode we21 and in PI using idx1 and Idx2. The RFC destination also created for PI and R3 system.. when i created the distribution model using BD64 in R2. when i assigning message type i can give the source logical system and i cant find the Receiver logical system...  Also in WE19 i cant find the receiver port (which i created in IDX1 and IDX2)..
    Could u tell me how to solve this prob???
    Regards
    Balaji

    Hii Ravi,
    Thanks for your reply,
    Yes i have created the port (RFC800) idx1 and give RFC destination which points the R3 system.
    I have assigned the meta data to that port using tcode idx2.
    And I have created port with port name "PORT800"  in R3 using we21 and give the RFC destination which points the PI system
    when im using the WE19... i gave source logical system as R3 Logical system and receiver logical system as PI Logical system.
    now im getting error like  "PORT RFC800 DOESNT EXIT IN THE THE TABLE OF PORT DISCRIPTIONS".

  • Runtime error in distribution FM 'CVV5_EVENT_START_DISTRIBUTION'

    Dear All,
    I am facing an issue in document distribution. Business scenario: PR is created with a doument. PR goes through a release strategy which is designed through a Workflow. When PR is finally approved, Documnet distribution happens. Business object DRAW is called with event CHANGED and hence this FM CVV5_EVENT_START_DISTRIBUTION is called. However this results in a runtime error due to exception 'NO_RELATION_EXIST'. I am not able to debug and find if any necessary parameter is getting missed and i do not have too much information on DMS.
    Can somebody guide me in resolving this issue. If any other information is needed then please post it.
    Thanking you in advance.

    Saud

    Thnaks a lot. That note is explicitly for this problem. I will take it forward now. Will revert back in case of any issue. Thanks again.

  • Error in JavaHelp

    Hello:

    Thanks for the quick response. I downloaded your app (very good idea BTW!) and ran it against my JNLP file. It reported a number of issues to me, but I don't understand them. I subsequently located the JNLP spec 6.0.10 here and went through it carefully. (I ended up discovering some nice features I added to my file.) I ended up with the following file, but the errors seem to be the same. The output is below the JNLP.
    Is it possible that your app is analyzing against an outdated version of the JNLP spec? It's all that I can figure. Perhaps you could explain just one or two of the node errors to get me started. Thanks again! Dan

  • Private app distribution: dev version / testflight / adobe content viewer / b2b distribution

    Hi Adobe Community!
    I am finalizing an app for my company that is supposed to be distributed only among our distributors. Apple rejected my Enterprise inquiry since our distributors are not our employees. I wanted to sum up my distribution options now and ask you for feedback. I do not plan to use App Store.
    1. B2B distribution through apple
    I can distribute custom b2b app through Apple, but it is available only in few european countries and this does not cover our needs since we cannot supply to all distributors. Also the process looks very complicated and I'd like to not use it.
    2. Adobe Content Viewer distribution
    If I tell my customers to download Adobe Content Viewer and sign in with my Adobe ID, the newest version of folios will be automatically downloaded to their devices?
    Also on Adobe website it is stated that my folios should be automatically uploaded to Adobe servers - but they are not. From what I read on the forums I understood that it is only available to Creative Cloud subscribers, is it right? If I subscribe will I be able to use this way for as many users I want?
    3. Developer version
    Finally I know that I can distribute dev version. I will have to register devices UDIDs but they will expire (after what time?) and how many UDIDs can I register (I read in different places that I can have 50 or 100 testers).
    4. TestFlight
    What I undestood so far is that facilitates developeloper version distribution, but wouldn't I be able to use this tool to go around UDIDs expiration?
    Thank a lot!

    With DPS enterprise and Apple enterprise account, you can built and deploy enterprised signed app internally within your organisation. Create the app, deploy and host it internally, so anyone who has access to the link can download the app. Not sure if Apple terms allows your distributors from outside your organisation to access and download the app hosted internally within your organisation, check that with Apple.
    If Apple terms does not allow, then you can use DPS restricted distribution method to deploy the app on the Appstore, but allow someone access to the content only if they are authenticated via the app, called direct entitlement or restricted distribution. Go here for details: Using restricted distribution with Digital Publishing Suite
    Signing in to ACV does not automatically download the latest folio. Your folios are always uploaded on Adobe servers, you cannot host it somewhre else. Anyone can create, upload folios and see the folio in the Adobe Content Viewer. But publishing the folio to be available in an app requires DPS subscription.
    You can register upto 100 UDID's on Apple dev portal. I don't think the UDID's expires so long as your Apple Dev account is active but the certificates expires exactly one year from the day it was generated.

  • Ad Hoc distribution under Enterprise license

    Hi,
    I have a customer who's workforce has a 1,000 iPads and is interested in distributing their publications either Ad-Hoc or through Internal Distribution, without going through the Apple Store. Are there any issues, limitations using the Enterprise License with Adobe DPS?
    I understand Apple has a 100 unit limit on Ad-Hoc using the Developer License.
    Tony

    Apple has a 100 device limit per provisioning profile for ad hoc distribution. It's a cumbersome method at best and won't scale easily to 1000 ipads.
    The correct solution for this type of desired behaviour is an Apple Enterprise license and DPS. This will let you build an app that can be distributed outside the Apple app store, to your employees only. Depending on theneed to control the level of access to content, folios can either published as public free ( controlling access by controlling the app distribution) or published as public/retail using the direct entitlement APIs to provide login level access to the folio within the app.

  • Public distribution of iPad app, but not in Apple's App Store

    I know we can make a Digital Publishing Suite app avalable for private distribution with an Adobe Enterprise account and an Apple Enterprise account.
    But we have a client who wants to make an app available to the public for download on a company web page, but not have it available in the Apple App Store.
    Is that even possible?

  • Cannot assign an email address to SharePoint group (distribution groups)

    Hello,
    I configured incoming email awhile back in our SharePoint 2010 environment and it works great. I can assign an email address to a list and the necessary contact is created in AD in the OU I configured for incoming email and of course the item emailed in
    is added to the list.  However, if I try to assign an email address to a SharePoint group to create a distribution group, the following happens:
    The following error has occurred while attempting to contact the Directory Management Service: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
    From what I've found on Technet and other resources, if incoming email works as expected, assign an email address to a group should work without issue but this obviously isn't the case.  I've dug around in the 14 hive and pretty much the same exact error
    is found there (with just a little more detail):
    System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)
    at Microsoft.SharePoint.DirectorySoap.SPDirectoryManagementProxy.CreateDistributionGroup(String Alias, String Name, String Description, String ContactCN, RequestInfo Info, DistributionGroupFlags Flags)
    at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPGroup.CreateDMS(String dlAlias, String friendlyName, String description, String[] members, String requestor, String justification, Int32& jobId)
    Any ideas what this could be?  I'd imagine the timer service account has the appropriate permission on the OU as it can create objects for lists with incoming email enabled without issue.

    For the issue with group members who are not added during the creation process ...
    I followed this Technet article : Configure
    incoming email for a SharePoint 2013 farm
    But in the paragraph "Configure AD DS to be used with Directory Management Service", I added
    delegation of control for the following common tasks :
    Create, delete and manage groups
    Modify the membership of a group
    The distribution group gets created in AD with members in SharePoint 2013 ! It should work with 2010 as well…
    PS : Do not forget to set up these rights, not only for the Central Administration Application pool Identity account, but for all
    your Web Applications!

  • Creating distribution lists in SAP CRM 5.0 business workplace

    Hi Experts,
    We have CRM 5.0 and I have tried to create distribution lists for
    mailsending.
    After defining a name and a folder (that is then created) for the
    list the recipient list insertion is a following task.
    I can search for partners of different type by F4 help but no
    matter the type of the partner searched - the type that is
    automatically entered to the lists recipents table is "shared
    distribution list". even though the desired type is among others
    in a list other values cannot be selected.
    Please help, is this a setting that can be undone or what might
    be a problem in the procedure that i use in creating a list?
    has anyone else had similar problems?
    Thank You so much,

    i have received an answer from SAP:
    "The reason for the error is a wrong entry in table TBCS_RECIP. To removethis entry, please use the report which is entered in the description
    of note 735795 or delete the wrong entry direct on table TBCS_RECIP.
    After the run of the report or the deletion on table TBCS_RECIP you willnot find further the selection option 'Business Partner' on the F4 help."
    The entry was removed and for Lists business partners cannot be selected at all - as a standard. really sad endeed.

  • What is difference between distribution list and share point group? Can we add distribution list into person and group column of share point list?

    what is difference between distribution list and share point group? Can we add distribution list into person and group column of share point list?

    there is a workaround you can try, create audience and add DL to them and deal with the audience or convert DL to groups
