JRE 1.6u11: can deployment.config point to a PC location?

I am an Oracle DBA. I need to configure JRE 1.6u11 to use trusted.certs file located on the PC. I can "make it work" if I place the deployment.config file in C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment with it's key, deployment.system.config, pointing to a network location for the deployment.properties file. Deployment.properties file, in turn, then has a key telling where to find trusted.certs, again, in a network location.
But, I am unable to set the key, deployment.system.config to look for deployment.properties in the same directory that deployment.config uses, namely, C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties. It seems like the key, deployment.system.config is not set up to point to a PC path, because trusted.certs is not found. I read that deployment.system.config is supposed to describe a URL. Writing the path as a URL has not helped (file://C:\WINDOWS\Sun...).
I wish to place these files in a location that is not user-specific. I do not wish to put them on the network.
Do you know why I can't do this, or do you have any suggestions that would make this work?
Thanks for your time.

Turns out I had learned that a file is specified in URL as [file://], but in this case I only needed [file:/]. Once I changed this, everything worked just fine.
My only question now, is since I answered my own question, do I get the points?

When using the iPad 2 to browse the National Weather Service the embedded Google map can not accurately point to the correct location when tapped. Is there a solution?

For example, using the iPad to check various locations around Davis, ca on the NWS website, the embedded google map is grossly off location.
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Davis&state=CA&site=STO&textFi eld1=38.545&textField2=-121.739&e=1
Then, using the ipad, if I tap on Sacramento, I get a location to the southeast near Angel's Camp.
This problem occurs also on embedded map at summitpost.org. Same problem (Also a Google map). Tap on a point and it displays info of an area off of where I was looking.
Thanks!

Same problem with iPhone. Use to work with an earlier version of Operating System.

The website may alter its page display based on the browser ID that is transmitted to the site from your browser. Some browsers on the iPad like iCab allow you change the browser ID to something desktop-oriented. Safari does not provide this capability.

1.4.2 using deployment.config and deployment.properties

Can anyone tell me if JRE 1.4.2_06 can use the deployment.config and deployment.properties setting like ver 1.5.0 can?
I have to use 1.4.2_06 and need to have the cache point to a common location (vs per user) and also would like to preset the cache size on an install.
This works perfectly on 1.5.0 however, my app requires 1.4.2.
Can anyone point in a direction?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I am actually working on the same problem.
I need to deploy Java 1.4.2_07 on clients with a mandatory setup. I tryied the deployment.config and deployment.properties file but didn't get it working yet.
I guess we should share knowledge to find a working solution.
It would be nice, if you could email me at:

Setting system level deployment.user.cachedir in deployment.config

G'day,
I've been experimenting with JRE 1.5.0_04 on Windows XP.
By default deployment.user.cachedir is set to <user home>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache. However, I want it to be <user home>\Local Settings\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache.
I have managed this as follows.
C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config contains:
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.propertiesand C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties contains:
deployment.user.cachedir=$USER_HOME\\..\\..\\..\\..\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\cacheThis works but is ugly. The problem is that $USER_HOME=<user home>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment. It seems that $USER_HOME and $JRE_HOME are the only two variables for use in deployment properties. Are there any others, in particular, one that mirrors the user's actual home directory?
Thanks,
Chris.

G'day,
Open the Java Console and execute "dump system and
deployment properties" which shows property values,
and see if what you want is there.Thanks, but I don't think I can use these at the system level, can I?
I did try using ${user.home} but that doesn't work.
So, are there any variables other than $USER_HOME and $JRE_HOME that can be used when setting system level properties?

Thanks,
Chris.

System level location of deployment.config

According to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html, the system level deployment.config can be found in one of two locations on windows:
(1) <Windows Directory>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config
(2) ${deployment.java.home}\lib\deployment.config
The documentation is a bit sketchy as to what determines which location it checks. From my testing, it seems that if you have a JDK installed, it looks for it in (1). If you only have a JRE installed, it looks for it in (2). Can someone confirm this? Secondly, why does WebStart via a JDK install look in one location while WebStart via a JRE look in another? Why can't it simply search in one location?

JRE/JDK makes no difference. Java Web Start is in the JRE, so you actually need a JRE to run javaws.
Webstart will always look first in (1) , and if no deployment.config is found, it will look in the lib directory of the jre that javaws is in. (2)
However, updating a JRE will (until after 6u4) put the new JRE in a new directory, so you would loose any customization done to the old JRE (such as putting a deployment.config in in) so (1) is preferred, unless you want the config to only apply to a specific update version.

Distributing a deployment.config and deployment.properties for proxy settings.

I am trying to define the minimum config required to populate a deployment.properties with just proxy settings and point to this with a deployment.config.
I am finding that that recent versions of 1.7 and 1.8 do not adhere to the browsers settings properly and not all traffic is following the proxy rules in use by the browser. However, if I manually override all traffic to a proxy the applets running on internet based sites function (no intranet sites use java here). If I use a deployment.config, I can see the resulting proxy settings are enabled in the control panel app and the appear exactly the same as per user manual settings, however they are not correctly used.have any ideas?
Any one have any ideas?.
Thanks

Deployment.config when %windir% is M:\Windows not C:\Windows

On my Windows 2003 terminal servers, the C: drive has been remapped to M:
Why doesn't javaws look in M:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment for deployment.config and deployment.properties or can it be configured?

According to the documentation, you can put deployment.config in either <Windows Directory>\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.config or ${deployment.java.home}\lib\deployment.config. But for some reason it is only the last option that is working, so you must install that for every version of the JRE that the server has installed.
Not the most elegant solution in my opinion.

Deployment.config/properties All Users dir on Windows

Question about the 2 files deployment.config and deployment.config which can be located in "%WINDIR%\Sun\Java\Deployment" or "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment"
Unfortunately the option to specify a new location for the cache is only applicable to the deployment.properties when it's located under the user profile, it doesn't work when specified under the windows directory.
I'm curious as to whether I can place the 2 files under the All Users profile and it would achieve the same result for everyone using the workstation.
Any ideas?

After some testing it seems this is not possible.
However, as long as there is no cached profile on the workstation, placing the files into the "Default User" profile will create them for all subsequent logons. Which is a pretty good fix.

Deployment.config

I am trying to lock down the Java Web Start user-specific configuration settings. All the client PCs are Win2K. After following the instructions found in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html#location I am unable to get the deployment.config file settings to be effective. I have tried
deployment.system.config=C\:\\WINNT\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
and also pointing the deployment.system.config at a network share. Neither seem to have any effect on the users deployment.properties settings.
If I delete the users deployment.properties file it will then pick up the settings from the C:\WINNT\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties file the next time Web Start is launched, however the settings are not mandatory (i.e. web start is not using the deployment.config file settings) and the users are able to permanently change their properties settings.
If anyone has gotten this to work and/or has an example of a functioning deployment.config file I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,
Martin M. Graney

Sounds like there is more work needed on these documents.
deployment.system.manditory only requires the file or ulrl deployment.system.config to be found. t does not lock the properties there unless for property:
deployment.xxx=value
there is also the property:
deployment.xxx.locked=anything
Also, there is a bug in the beta1, that a locked property (such as the deployment.xxx above) will be locked to the value of the lock, instead of the value of the property (ie: will be "anything" instead of "value"
so to get it to work right in the 1.5. beta1, you need to say:
deployment.xxx=value
deployment.xxx.locked=value

Deployment.config ignored?

Ver: 1.5.0_05-b05
I've been trying to set a system cache directory using deployment.config to define a centralised configuration file without success.
It seems as if the deployment.config file is simply not being accessed, as even with deployment.system.config.mandatory set true I don't get an error for an invalid deployment.system.config
Can I get any initialisation information to determine if the process is even looking for the deployment.config file?

What is the content of your deployment.config file ?
the value of the property
deployment.system.config
should be a URL to the systenm config file.
note that this is in a properties file, so certain characters such as color ":" and forward slash must be escaped.

Need to Deploy Distribution Points for 700 Offices on Windows 7 Systems with 128kbps of Bandwidth

Hello Everyone,
Need to deploy Distribution Points for 700 sites on windows 7 with 128kbps of link.During Office hours DP fails as entire 128 kbps of link is utilized.During non business hours it gets succeeded.
Setup for SCCM 2012-
1 Primary Server at DC
Secondary Server @ HO
100 DP's already created on link of 128 Kbps
Is there any option of creating Offline DP's in 2012......
How can I fastern the Process of DP Creation??????
Any help would be highly appreciated.......
Regards
Saurabh

Hi Jeff/Torsten,
Thanks for the revert.
Just to inform you that I need to Create fresh Distribution Point on Windows 7 systems as above technet link is used once you have setup distribution points if you need not have to utilized your 128kbps bandwidth in that scenario I can prestage the content
and copy that content on remote DP.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

After yesterday's "upgrade", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library. It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it.

After yesterday's "update", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library. It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it. What gives? And why does Apple force these constant updates that just screw up everything? It was all working fine yesterday before I ran the update.

Does anyone know where I can get support for this issue?

How do I get routing data from the Map App (powered by TomTom) so I can display the point-to-point annotations (turn-by-turn navigation) without leaving my own application.

I have a tableView displaying a list of contacts from a Cloud Database. After selecting a contact, I push to a programmatically created MKMapView. Then I display the initial region (the view) that includes the users current location (starting point) and their selected destination (end point).
Now I want to display annotations (as described in the Location Awareness Programming Guide) that displays polylines which will represent the turn-by-turn navigation IN MY OWN APPLICATION, and not in the Map App currently used in IOS6.
Due to licensing and its becoming depricated in IOS 6, I do not want to get routing data from the Google Maps API. How do I get routing data from the IOS 6 Map App (powered by TomTom) so I can display the point-to-point annotations (turn-by-turn navigation) without leaving my own application?
I checked out Stack Overflow and other forums which basically left me with the impression that this is not possible. I also checked out the TomTom iPhone Mobile SDK User Guide from the TomTom Developer Portal and am still confused. It must be possible to retrieve routes, since the Map App can display turn-by-turn directions. How can I retrieve turn-by-turn data that I may display as a route within my own application?

Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change.
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot.
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll.
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's path to the files it needs?
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

Can we config the SU as an input field in source of putaway sys-guided ?

Experts,
If i want to do putaway system guided/by TO for SU managed materials , there is nothing that i need to scan in the source field and i can only see the SU,Storage bin input field in the destination screen(Can only config these two fields as input fileds for scanning).So the user has to manually hit F1 save and hit Next to go the destination screen.How should i have the SU field to be scanned in source? (Can we make the SU field as an input field for scanning in source screen?)
Thanks in advance

We have configured both SU and src bin as input fields on RF. Are you using customised RF program or SAP standard? WE have this driven through a mix of stnd and customised referring back to Verifcation Data Profiles and movt assignments in Mobile Data entry configuration of LE->WM

Does the Jheadstart application can deploy to Application 10g

Hi Jhs team:
Does the Jheadstart application can deploy to Application 10g ?

Ting Rung,
We did not test this yet, but assuming OC4J did not break backwards compatibility, it should work.
I would say, give it a try, and let us know if you run into problems.
