JVM Parameters in Applets

Hi,
I need to set the jvm parameter in an applet for instance "file.encoding" and
System.setProperty("file.encoding","UTF8") doesnt work, is there any other way to set the parameters?
Thanks in advance...

System.setProperty("file.encoding","UTF8")
Will throw an exception because the applet is not allowed to do that
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission file.encoding write)
You need to sign the applet and the consumer of your applet needs to trust the signature
or the consumer of your applet needs to set up a policy for your applet.
Or
The consumer of your applet sets up runtime parameters.
Here is something I copied and pasted to pass parameters that will force the jre to
generate a full trace everytime.
To turn the full trace on (windows) you can start the java console, to be found here:
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4...\bin\jpicpl32.exe
In the advanced tab you can fill in something for runtime parameters fill in this:
-Djavaplugin.trace=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
if you cannot start the java console check here:
C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
I think for linux this is somewhere in youruserdir/java (hidden directory)
add or change the following line:
javaplugin.jre.params=-Djavaplugin.trace\=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option\=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
for 1.5:
deployment.javapi.jre.1.5.0.args=-Djavaplugin.trace\=true -Djavaplugin.trace.option\=basic|net|security|ext|liveconnect
The trace is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\your user\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\log\plugin...log
I think for linux this is somewhere in youruserdir/java (hidden directory)
I think the main question is why do you need to set this property? If you want to write
something to the local filesystem you should sign or set up policy for the applet
anyway so I would go with that sollution. Or better yet use an URL object and send the
data that needs to be saved to a server that does something with it (store it in
a database).

Passing VM Parameters through Applet Tag

Is there some way to pass Runtime JVM parameters through the Applet Tag?
something like -D"java.security.policy="xxx"
<Applet >
<Param Name="JVM_PARAM" Value="-D"java.security.policy="xxx"">
</Applet>

Is there a way to set JVM parameters directly in the applet tag? i.e., not by passing generic parameters and then calling setProperty, and not by setting the JVM parameters in the Plug-in control panel.
For some reason, setProperty will not work correctly in my applet. I can set the new property value, immediately do a getProperty and verify that the new value is returned, but the JVM still uses the old value throughout the life of the applet.
And I don't want to set the parameter in the control panel, because I don't won't this parameter set for all applets that use the plug-in.
Thanks,
Ken

New FAQ Entry on JVM Parameters for Large Cache Sizes

I've posted a new [FAQ entry|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/je_faq.html#60] on JVM parameters for large cache sizes. The text of it is as follows:
What JVM parameters should I consider when tuning an application with a large cache size?
If your application has a large cache size, tuning the Java GC may be necessary. You will almost certainly be using a 64b JVM (i.e. -d64), the -server option, and setting your heap and stack sizes with -Xmx and -Xms. Be sure that you don't set the cache size too close to the heap size so that your application has plenty of room for its data and to avoided excessive full GC's. We have found that the Concurrent Mark Sweep GC is generally the best in this environment since it yields more predictable GC results. This can be enabled with -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC.
Best practices dictates that you disable System.gc() calls with -XX:-DisableExplicitGC.
Other JVM options which may prove useful are -XX:NewSize (start with 512m or 1024m as a value), -XX:MaxNewSize (try 1024m as a value), and -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=55. NewSize is typically tuned in relationship to the overall heap size so if you specify this parameter you will also need to provide a -Xmx value. A convenient way of specifying this in relative terms is to use -XX:NewRatio. The values we've suggested are only starting points. The actual values will vary depending on the runtime characteristics of the application.
You may also want to refer to the following articles:

* The most complete list of -XX options for Java 6 JVM

First of all please be aware HSODBC V10 has been desupported and DG4ODBC should be used instead.
The root cause the problem you describe could be related to a timeout of the ODBC driver (especially while taking care of the comment: it happens only for larger tables):
(0) [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]MySQL server has gone away (SQL State: S1T00; SQL
(0) Code: 2006)
indicates the Driver or the DB abends the connection due to a timeout.
Check out the wait_timeout mysql variable on the server and increase it.

JVM parameters in MANIFEST file

I deployed my Swing app in a JAR file wih the following manifest file:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.4.0 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: MainApplication
Class-Path: . jarfile1.jar ................ jarfilen.jar
Everything is ok except I don't know how to specify the following JVM parameters: -Xmx256M -Xms128M -Xss1M. Can someone help me, please ?
Thanks in advance

Probably these parameters ( -Xmx256M -Xms128M -Xss1M ) must be specified in the properties of the link that launch java -jar yourJar...

JVM parameters from Executable JAR

Is it possible to utilize JVM parameters when running an executable JAR?
I have an application that process a large amount of data. If I run the application from the command prompt I can use the JVM directive -mx512M to allocate 512MB of memory to the JVM.
Is there a way of doing the same thing when using an executable JAR?

In which way are you running a jar without a batch file?
If you want to make a Java App run with launching according to the operating system's style, unzip JAVA_HOME/src.zip and study the java.exe c source code. Start your own custom java.exe changing its name to yourapp.exe. You can then adorn it with all the things expected on a given operating system.

Monitoring JVM Parameters

Hi All,
Is there a ways to monitor/change JVM parameters at runtime?
Example
If I pass a custom jvm parameter in the following way:
java -Dmy.custom.argument=myvalue -jar Stylepad.jarIs there a way to monitor this argument (-Dmy.custom.argument=myvalue) at runtime with both read and write permissions?
As far as I know the platform management mbeans only allows us to view such jvm parameters in read only mode (via java.lang.Runtime MBean).
Could any one help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in Advance!
Jini

Hi,
You could write your own MBean to do so.
However you should be careful about security: if your MBean allows to change just
any System property and isn't protected then you would be creating a security hole.
There's also a second consideration, which is that changing the value of a System
property at runtime might have no effect: it would mostly depends on how the code
that depends on that System property uses it.
Most applications will read their property only once, at initialization time. Changing
a property after such an application has performed its initialization phase has usually
no effect on that application.
On a pure conceptual/general level I would be tempted to qualify what you are
asking for as 'fragile' (best case) or 'dangerous' (worst case).
If however you still want to proceed in this direction you may be interested by this
blog entry:
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/emcmanus/archive/2006/11/a_real_example.html
It isn't exactly what you are asking for but it may help you on your way.
Hope this helps,

Setting JVM parameters....

Hi SDN,
<b>
I want to check the JVM parameters set for the portal.
The version of the portal is EP 6.0 SP19.
Where can I get the information?????
</b>

Hi
You can change the JVM Settings in the ConfigTool.
Enter the "Java parameters" field for your desired input.
Save and restart the cluster and you are done!
You can also check by looking at the instance.properties file.

JVM Parameters in Configtool

Everyone,
Can somebody explain me how to change JVM paramters in Configtool step by step.
I opened configtool and Instance_IDXXXXX,Right side i see Servers General and Java Parameters.
I changed the parameters,saved and restarted the cluster. But,the settings are not getting applied.
Have I missed any steps? i didn't switch it to edit mode since i was lready able to change it here.
And i am using <SID>adm. In edit mode,configtool changed to tree structure.
Can somebody explain me what exactly missing and how to change JVM step by step ? Kindly help..

Hi. Instead of the path Cluster_data - Instance_ID### - Servers General, follow the path cluster_data - instance_ID### - server_ID#### - 'General' tab - java parameters. Enter the VM settings there.
Repeat for each server in under the instance_ID### node.
Save your changes and restart the instance

Address parameters to applet

Hi,
Im having real trouble with what seems a simple problem:
I need to pass an unknown number of parameters from the address bar to the embedded applet.
e.g.
http://127.0.0.1/myJSPPage.jsp?arg1=12&arg2=bob
using the jsp:plugin tag:
<jsp:plugin .........
    <jsp:params>
        <jsp:param name="arg1" value="12"/>
        <jsp:param name="arg2" value="bob"/>
    </jsp:param>
</jsp:plugin>Anytime i try and put some JSP code in between the params outer tag i get the folliowing Exception message:
Expected "param" with "name" and "value" attributes without the "params" tag.Has anyone tackled this sort of problem before ??
Thanks
Chris

</jsp:param> replace with
</jsp:params>

Passing parameters inside applet

Hello everybody,
I need send many parameters with same key but different value in to an applet. Does that sounds possible?
If it is, how can I be able to extract all these values inside the applet and store them in an array?
Please, advise me a solution
Thanks,
Shivram.

Hello,
Could anybody please let me know about the possibility of doing this? If it is not possible, Is there any other means of passing a set of data which has same key in to an applet?
Like
<Param key="name" value="james"/>
<Param key="name" value="rob" > ..and so on
I dont want to pass all the values within the same param by using a seperator (like comma) as the original values have lengthy words in it.
Please give your suggestions.
Thanks
Shivram.
