Licensing issues for selling our own java app.

hi guys,
I am just wondering whether it is legal to write our own java applications and sell them to the public. Do I need to obtain a license from SUN or other third parties that provide me the support libraries(for example apache xalan, etc...)? You know, we are just normal individuals, there is no way we can afford the license.

If you have to include code that you didn't write (library or otherwise), ...Last time I checked the JRE could be distributed by a user. The JDK could not. If one uses only the the documented classes in the JDK/JRE then only the JRE is needed. If one is using any other products/api/undoc'd like javamail, j2ee, jmdk, etc then the license will have to be looked at.
Stuff from free ware sources generally have varying restrictions. This can often include the demand that the product must be made available in source code form. There can be other variations, so the license for each download should be checked.

Did you have an Adobe trial running on this same computer before? Maybe your previous trial was used for 3 weeks and then you uninstalled it? If so, you're only eligible for a 1 week trial on this computer.

How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it. Apple has me confused.
Anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals. I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
I'll call Apple tomorrow.

Set up DB Connection Pool for Oracle DataBase Using Java App Server8

Hi,
In the Admin Console of Java App Server 8, I tried to create a connection pool for the oracle database. I chose Resource Type to be "javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource" and the Vendor is Oracle. So the Data Source Class Name is filled by the system to be "oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource". Now, I set up the class path to point to the database driver class "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" and also the to the Data Source Class Name. Also I set up the JVM options in the console. Restart the server, and then try to ping to the database, but get the error:
Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean. Target exception message: Connection could not be allocated because: No suitable driver
I don't understand what else I should do and why this error is coming?
Please help me out.
Thank you
Regards,
Sarah

Hi,
I've already solve the problem. I did the following:
set the Url to be: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:SID
set username
set password
add oracle.jdbc.drivers.OracleDriver into the JVM options -Djdbc.drivers
restart the server
test the connection
it works :)

Any license issue for using Forms 5.0 deploye application?

Hello,
if I using Forms 5.0 to develop an application, then using forms runtime to deploy, have any license issue ?

Assuming that you have a licence for Forms then it depends on how you are deploying it.
If you are deploying the application in Client Server mode then tghere is no runtime licence for Forms.
If you are deploying on the web then you will need a Forms Server licence

Correct Licensing Issue for SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP_IPS4

Greetings,
I have two MDS switches that should have identical licensing/features installed. One of the switches is continuously logging 'license file missing' for SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP_IPS4. We are not using this feature. What do I need to do to clear up the log files? Below is a comparison of the 'show license usage' for each switch.
Thnx,

The IPS 4 module was short lived and has been end of support for a while.
Issue this command to see if the MDS will report what feature is triggering the license to be 'in use'.
show license usage SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP_IPS4
This command should show what configuration commands are generating this message. The file missing is not something to worry about. I mean it is annoying, but will not harm the switch operation.
Do you know if you even have an IPS 4 module installed? 'show module' would indicate if you do.
This looks to be a remnant of using the IPS4 module for an FCIP connection sometime back.
The other option is change the logging level for the license manager. The default is level 6 (informational) which means levels 6 down to 1 are all logged. You change the logging level from 6 to a lower number to stop them from showing up. I believe that the missing file is a level 3, so you could set the logging level for licmgr messages to 2 (which would be 2,1 and 0 inclusive). This would not the messages...just stop them from being recorded in the log.

Licensing issue for java librairies

Hi guys;
there are some java libraries that are free for non commercial use but require to purchase a license for commercial applications.
My question is : what if some one use this library in commercial app without purchasing licence ? how can the owner of the librairy control the use of his work. and if you use it for commercial purposes what will happen ?

there are some java libraries that are free for non
commercial use but require to purchase a license for
commercial applications.yes there is. This is true also of non java software.
There is also the GPL (GNU public license) which allows you to distribute the code, but only in an open source way.
My question is : what if some one use this library in
commercial app without purchasing licence ? how can
the owner of the librairy control the use of his
work. and if you use it for commercial purposes what
will happen ?Then you have a lawsuit. The damaged party may seek compensation and potentially damages from the license violator. The license owner may also seek an injunction

ECC user licenses issue for using Webdynpro ABAP in portal

Hi all,
If we want to use Webydnpro ABAP in our external facing portal which is being used by more than 20000 users, how do we manage the ECC licenses for all these users? It will be really expensive to have that many number of licenses in ECC (one for every portal user). Is there any other work around for this?
Any info on this will be beneficial.
Thanks,
Hari

I am not sure why you want to use WebDynpro for External Portal . As Webdynpro is resource intensive , I never saw client asking for this type of requirement. Are developing any prototype ?
In my experience ABAP webdynpro is more is used more for business packages and internal portals not for external portals. If you want to use this AWD for EEP Please see below link from SAP Help for pre-requisites
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/96/bdab419451db34e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
Last Step in above Link, this mentions that ABAP Webdynpro needs logon.
As other people mentioned there might be a good way of doing if you contact your SAP account executive to find out if there are any different types of licenses. But you end up in taking other extra licences which not acceptable solution for clients.
If you want to use WebDynpro for external Portal ( which is not at all suggested for external ) at any cost , better to go with Web Dynpro for Java which will not need any extra licences on R3.

Multiple Issues for Fiori Track Sales Order App

Hello,
We're experiencing quite a few issues with the Fiori Track Sales Order App and were wondering if anyone else out there had experienced anything similar and if they were able to resolve these issues. Unfortunately, there are hardly any notes out there for the Track Orders app, so we aren't able to implement any existing fixes
1.) As mentioned in a previous post (link below), contact information is not showing in the app, even though the service is returning these contacts and they're displayed in the console. We've had an incident open with SAP for quite some time but have yet to hear back.
Track Sales Order Fiori App - Not Displaying Contacts
2.) If the user is in the app while a delivery is created, choosing the refresh option just refreshes the overall status of the order. The item statuses are not updated. User has to exit the app and re-enter for changes to take effect for the items.
3.) Searching by PO Number is not working.
4.) Searching for orders in the search period only works if there is an order in the parameter maintained for the order period. If a customer does not have any orders in the order period but does have orders in the search period maintained, orders are not found when executing a search on the server.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We're on the following service packs:
SAPK-60003INSRA018
SAPK-10003INUISRA018

Hi Erin,
Just FYI. This does not solve your issue but,
I see you use old UI components which were released in May 2013.
Important Note: Please use new UI with new SAP Fiori Launchpad
New UI components have UI extension points and work with new SAP Fiori Launchpad.
Please find correct components based on your Backend version.

How to use HTML or XML described visual forms for data entry in Java app?

Hi,
We are considering to use HTML as a mean of configuration for visual content and layout of data entry dialogs in our Java GUI applications. Java program will need to be able to populate/collect data into/from dialog controls. I am guessing that JEditorPane and FormView classes could be used for this but I have not figured out yet how to do this.
I would really appreciate any help you could provide with respect to this. Please share any tips, utilities, references, etc. Maybe one can suggest non-HTML (e.g. XML, UIML, ...) way to achieve the same requirements and recommend some utilities respectively.
Thanks.

Just to clarify, we need a solution for Java application (no applet, no web server, no servlets, no JSPs, no EJBs).

License issue for EP users

Hi,
I created certain WD application based on Z- functional module like delivery report, outstanding, sales order .My data source is ECC. I mapped single ecc users to multiple ep users.
Now i want to provide the login facility to the n- numbers of ep users by keeping the ep server outside the firewall. But we have limited ecc user license.
So, wether it is necessary to buy the each and every ep users license who want to logon to the portal or by user mapping (by single ecc user),multiple ep users can logon to the portal?
Thanks,
Kundan

SELECT returning different rows when issued from SQL Developer or Java apps

Hi there. I'm facing a problem here: I'm trying to issue a SELECT from Java, which should return me 2 rows; but I'm getting just one. When I issue the SELECT directly through SQL Developer it gives me the expected result. I've pastebin the code at http://paste.uni.cc/11821, where I've described in details the problem.
What could it be? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Marco,
I would code it a bit differently, but I don't think that would solve your problem.
I suggest setting up the JDBC logging. I'm not promising it will help, but I guess it
can't hurt. Here is a white paper about it:

You can also access that link from this Web page:

Good Luck,
Avi.
