Mac webstart and java 1.4
hello,
i am having trouble with using an app designed for java 1.4 on the mac with webstart. Basically it works fine when launching from the JNLP, but when the user creates a desktop icon for it, the mac wants to run java 1.3 instead, thereby failing. it basically sits there catatonic for a while and the exception is tossed to the console, so it is very bewildering behavior.
is there a workaround for this (other than making the app work on both 1.3 and 1.4)?
thanks,
james
this happens for an app i wrote, too, only all of the macs worked fine on java 1.3. then they all upgraded to 1.4, then the only way they can run the apps is thru the webstart console. anyone have any recommendations?

Different versions of Java webstart and Java Runtime Environment
Hi I am using a thin application client (swings application) which is downloaded as a jar file using Java Web Start. The earlier version of the application was deployed on the server and client using the version 1.5.0_09. Due to some performance measures we are changing the Client version of JRE to 1.6.0_03. Will this really help??
The approach we are following is bit confusing.
First we are launching the application in JRE 1.5.0_09 and creating a shortcut for that (WebStart shortcut). Later we are changing the Java Web Start version from 1.5.0_09 to 1.6.0_03 in the shortcut.
And of course also changing the JNLP j2se version tag to 1.6
The application we are launching using this shortcut but its throwing FailedDownloadException : Unable to Load Resource hxxp://ascdcf.....*.jnlp
The funny thing is when i launched the same shortcut using the 1.5.0_09 version i.e. only the WebStart version as 1.5.0_09 and the JRE on client as 1.6.0_03 the application starts.
I searched about this and came to know that webstart just deploys the application jar on the client in a browser independent form and then it is run on JRE. If thats the case (and if i am right) then Webstart version can be anything only the JRE version should be the latest as specified in the JNLP. Can anyone give me suggestions in this regard???
Also if this approach is correct where will we get more performance???
1. Is it running application on updated JRE Version i.e. 1.6.0_03
2. Or on updating Java Web Start i.e. 1.6.0_03 (curretnly which is not running)
Also the Java Web Start is a part of JRE then where does this lead to....???
I am just an amateur with great doubts.....kindly help......Hello,
I suggest you really read, understand and trial-and-error the following previously suggested solutions;

The difference between Java webstart and Java Applet?
Hi all!
I'm preparing deploy my application. But I'm in two minds I should deploy My application follow Java Webstart model or Java Applet Model.
if i deploy application by using Java webstart then what will I get benefit? and otherwise?
Could you tell me some advices?
Thanks!Applet runs in the context of a browser, Webstart requires a small piece of software to be installed on the client and then when you click on your link/icon webstart downloads your application from the server and runs as a Java application (not within a browser).

I wonder if somebody can help me. I am not able to use my internet bank anymore, since Java launched their latest update (7.51) a few days ago. Appearently this one is not compatible with my hardware. I am using Mac OSX version 10.6.8, and Java version 17.0, which seems to be the newest one for my op sys. Anybody know how I can solve this? In advance thank you!

Just read "Best of Macworld" article "How to disable Java on your Mac," in email dated 2/25/13. I'm a dinosaur running OS 10.4.11 and Java 1.5.0_19, which is earlier than the versions addressed in the article. Do I remove/isolate in the same manner? Will the effects of removal/isolation the same as described in the article?

Intel Mac Mini, Firefox and Java
I'm running an Intel Mac Mini using Firefox; mostly it's fine, but sometimes it behaves as if it and Java Applets have had a falling out.
I have made sure that I have the very latest version of JRE to go with OSX, but when I go to http://www.f1.com and log on to "Live Timing", the frame comes up, but no steaming teacup, then the bottom LH corner says "Done", but the timing area is still blank. Live timing works in Safari & Opera on the same computer, and on any PC running IE6.
Going to the help section on the live timing box says to go to download the latest version of JRE from the Apple.com website - if I try to do this, OSX refuses the download saying it is older than the version already installed.
I have sent questions to both Sun & Mozilla weeks ago, but have received no reply; any ideas?Dont really have any solution other than the fact that some browsers act funny on certain sites. I think it is specific to the browser, not the computer itself. I have encountered the same thing with certain applets. Also just wanted to give a shoutout from another F1 fan. Good season so far, I think Alonso has the Chin's number this year.

After update June 28 of security and Java on 17in mac bk pro laptop cannot startup
After June 28 security and Java updates my 17 in mac book pro will not start up properly..I get a screen with text on the side and a window telling me to press the sart button to shut down and then press again to start up...( a gray panel comes down over the page before the window appears)...I have tried the install disc and done the disc and permissions repair...permissions repair could not repair "System/Library/Core Services/Remote Management ARDAgent/Contents/Mac OS/ARDAgent" a SUID file.

Try to get into your machine and if you do, the first thing you do is backup your files to a external drive. (not TimeMachine) via regular drag and drop methods.
Disconnect this drive. and all others.
You can then c boot off the installer disk for your OS version and under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility > Repair Disk
Also you can totally reinstall OS X, shouldn't effect your programs or files (but backup all files just in case)
If that don't work, c boot off the installer disk again, this time use Disk Utility to Erase >format HFS+ Journaled with Security option > Zero All Data (will take some time) This will totally wipe the drive of everything and is a last ditch effort.
When it's done quit, and reinstlal OS X.
You'll have to go through the setup and reinstall your programs and files from backup. Secret is use the same user name and drive name as the previous time so your iTunes folder will work without a hitch.
If you restore from TimeMachine, it's possible whatever problem you had can return, but you can try and if it doesn't work, just repeat above without TimeMachine.
Later look at free Carbon Copy Clone your boot drive to a external HFS+ Journaled formatted drive and keep in a safe place, it hold option bootable, great if your hard drive bites it, or TimeMachine gets hosed. TM isn't bootable. -

Hi,
I just bought Mac OS X Lion for the single reason to use Java FX 2.1.
No Java preinstalled.
Then I downloaded and installed jdk-7u4-macosx-x64.dmg.
The I had the folder: /Library/Java which included JDK 1.7.
I tried to start IntelliJ 11. But it complains about that no Java Runtime is installed.
Then I started the 1.7.0.jdk file and it complained, too, that I'd need a JRE.
What the heck?
I followed the dialog and it downloaded an JRE, but it was JRE 1.6.0_31-b04-415-11M3646
I also noticed, that I have two folders:
/System/Library/Java
/Library/Java
The former is for 1.6, the latter 1.7.
I am very confused! Can somebody help?IntelliJ 11 uses Apple's bundled Java application support. Bundled OS X Java applications built with Apple's tools require Apple's JDK 6 and cannot use Oracle's JDK. So, to run IntelliJ itself you need to install an Apple JDK first.
You now have two JDKs on your system: the Java 7 JDK from Oracle in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines, and Java 6u31 from Apple in /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines. You can certainly use JDK 7 to run the code you are developing in IDEA, but not IDEA itself right now. IDEA will need to update their product to stop using Apple's deprecated technologies.
This is all correct behavior, but I do think the wording of the alert you get when you need to install an Apple JDK is confusing. We'll let Apple know.

Blank boys are new of the forum wanted to ask to you
preputting that not son a Mac customer if Java 6 with
the relative DBMS Derby totally is supported from
Sistemi Operated to you Mac. Thanks for the aid.
Excused my English but are Neapolitan (Naples)Not quite sure what you're asking... if you're asking if Derby is
included in JDK 6, then yes, it is:
http://developers.sun.com/javadb/
If you're asking if JDK 6 with Derby is supported on Mac, the
answer is that there isn't a Mac port of JDK 6 from Sun. You
should check with Apple to see if there is, or will be one. -
Going between Mac Pro and G4 laptop
Hi - I am needing to go out of town for a month and I need to keep working as business as usual with my system. In the past, I would clone my older G4 tower system drive to my G4 Powerbook and then back again when I returned home. This worked perfectly.
(Using 10.5.7)
Recently I upgraded to a Mac Pro and I know that with the Intel processor I cannot clone back and forth anymore since my Powerbook is a G4.
How can I keep my computer, mostly Mail, Dreamweaver and iCal, synced so I can keep my workflow with a good transition? My data is on a separate external drive that travels with me. I'm not worried about applications as I still have them installed on my Powerbook pretty much in the same way as my MP is set up.
#1 - I really need to have all of my Mail accounts (pop3) data - the sent and received messages - to be duplicated between the two systems before I leave and then when I return to the MP system. My Dreamweaver account settings would be important as well since I need to manage about over 100 different accounts and it helps to keep them current as I am frequently adding and editing account login data.
Suggestions?If you copy the entire user folder you will also copy the /Home/Library/ folder. Although this isn't necessarily a problem, if you have PPC plug-ins for contextual menus, preference panes, or input managers they will no longer work on an Intel machine. You would need to replace them with universal binary versions for compatibility. For more about migration from a PPC see the following:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Do I need Java 8 or should I disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?
There's no difference. They're both runtime plug-ins (they run when an app calls for Java functions).
You only need Java if you either have Java apps on your Mac that won't run without having it installed, or you use trusted web sites that require Java to function (getting fewer and far between). Otherwise, you have no need for it at all. -
Security 2009-01 and Java release 8 - which first?
Software update shows it's time for Security 2009-01 and Java Release 8. Java comes first on the list.
I do updates via downloads from Apple and install later. Should I install the Java release first?
Mrs H
BTW - The updates for Security used to indicate "Client" or "Server". This one just indicates Tiger PPC, Intel Tiger, Server Tiger, Leopard Server etc - has Client gone by the wayside?Hi BDA,
A Safe Boot will prevent most of those from interfering, btw, this G4 I did the Alphabetically...
Alphabetically! Well, I'll be... I thought there was some secret significance here to the sequence - for example, you must do QT before iT.
...updating to had 5 Firewire Drives, 2 eSata Drives, 14 USB Devices besides the KB & Mouse, and four USB RAID Drives hooked up to it during the Updates... no problem here.
So maybe I don't have to disconnect my modem? (I leave the printer disconnected anyway, so I can connect to whichever Mac I need for printing)
Was that Klaus that told you that! (about points)? LOL
No, just my own thinking.
Yes indeed, thank you again, great news that you're getting more comfortable/knowledgeable about your Macs!
And it's only taken 20 years of working with Macs to do that!

Not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java soun
Hi ,
I need one help from your side.
Here I am expecting some clarifications from you. Before that let you my environement.
My working environment :
Eclipse tool and added jmf jar to my project I did not do any thing more.
If any thing I need to do just let me know. My target platform is MAC & UBUNTU.
Please bare with my questions.
1) I am not able to recognize any video/audio devices using jmf and java sound APIs on My system.
( I checked with the app mentioned in the http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/11201-jmf-cannot-connect-device.html )
Do we need any administrives rights for our working PC.
What is the procedure/ setup I need to follow from a java application to enable particular audio/video device since I dont about end-user system setup right.
If possible send some sample code to recognize /r detect audio device ( voice input ). It should run on both MAC and UBUNTU.
2) I run the one sample audio recording application of this link (http://www.jsresources.org/examples/SimpleAudioRecorder.java.html) which is provided by YOU.
I got output audio file and able to hear voice on UBUNTU system but not able to hear voice on MAC system.
I heared that default line in ( audio setup of the sys) is wont take any voice data on MAC.Why I made this stmt means we are getting false when using isSupported methods of JAVA SOUND API.
( like for TragetdataLine ...i,e, all ports are getting false)
I have one sample audio recording app implemented by QUICKTIME API. In this case also he taking audio ftom device only using quicetime API.
With that we are able to record and hear audio ( voice input --> not line in , external device we added some thing like SSB...)
3) In case of Video capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PullBufferDataSource , PullBufferStream intefaces used.
In case of Audio capturing DataSource, Streams are implemented by PushBufferDataSource, PushBufferStream intefaces used.
Can you explain the reasons ? I gone through API but i am not clear.
HOPE I WILL BE CLARIFIED EVERY THING FROM YOU.
Thanks

Can I remove a CD Rom from one Mac pro and re-install it in another mac pro
One mac pro, my computer has a CD ROM that doesn't open and my brother's old Mac Pro has a CD ROM that still opens and closes how easy would it be for me to remove the CD ROM from my brother's old Mac Pro and re-install it in my Mac Pro

You cannot cross the line without changing the cabling, which may be more expensive that just replacing the drive with a new one.
You both should be sure to update to 10.6.8 if you have not already done so, to provide enhanced malware protection. If you cannot do that, turn off JAVA (not javascript) in all your Browsers.
