MSVM to SUN Java Question

Hi, I've recently installed SP2 on my XP Home Machine, and was told in another forum I should update/upgrade my "Java". Along the way I was told to uninstall any reference to JRE/Java in Add/Remove Programs. I did not find any reference to JRE/Java or MSVM. Actually the only thing in Add/Remove was in Set Program Access and Defaults, refering to MS VM enable/disable, but wasn't able to select anything. Originally I only saw reference to Java under the Advanced Tab in IE7. It states MS VM with some boxes to click for JIT Compiler, java logging etc...I then did a search for "Java" on the hard drive and stopped the search when a folder called: Java came up in the results. It is located at C:\Windows and contains three folders 1-Classes which has a security certificate in it, 2-Packages which has 8 zip files and another folder in it called Data, containing some data file and 3-Trustlib folder with nothing showing in it. My question is, how do I upgrade/update what I have or what I need from MS to Sun. Or, do I really need to do anything? Thanks for bearing with me on the above, just want to give as much info so as to not waste anyone's time. Thank you for your time,

Thanks for the reply. I was investigating this
through a recommendation in a Security forum I was
in. I had a few security issues back then, and I
guess from one of my HijackThis logs someone picked
up I needed to update my Java. They stated to do so
after I updated my WinXP Home system to SP2, which I
have recently done. Do you have any idea, from a
security standpoint, why they would suggest I update
my Java (my MS Java)? Should I just switch to Sun,
regardless? Thanks again for your time.Newer versions of Java (might) be more secure than previous versions. However, it sounds like you never had Java installed before, so this is really not an issue. (Your browser should have Java but that is a separate issue, just make sure you are up to date on your browser updates). Or if you are concerned about security then make sure you are using something other than Internet Explorer (Firefox is a nice choice, but there are others).

  • Some general questions about Sun Java Communications Suite

    Hello Everybody,
    We are a small group of individuals (2 Java developers and 1 Linux expert and Web Application developer), located in Germany.
    We are fully new to �Solaris� and Sun Java Communications Suite and know, that it�s a highly professional software system for large scale deployment. However we plan to install (64 Bit version) and manage it in a small network environment, consisting of a Server (4 GB RAM, RAID 5, AMD Dual CPU) based on Solaris 10 (X86) and *20* clients based on Win XP, Solaris and Linux.
    It�s a network of a non-profit organization, providing social services to local society.
    At clients we will use the Communications Express and the needed services are: Calander, Mail and Address book. (no need of Outlook Connector, Instant Messaging, Document Management, etc.)
    Our long-term aim is - after learning of professional architecting, deployment and management of Communications Suite - to provide integration and development services to organizations (schools and small / medium sized Business) and public in cooperation with ISP or infrastructure-providers like Sun Microsystems.
    Now, our main questions are:
    *1.-* Is the Server phy. recourse enough to deliver the mentioned services of Communication Suite to 20 clients without problems?
    *2.-* Isn�t Communications Suite oversized for such small network mentioned above or better, if we use another collaboration software system like Opengroupeware (http://opengroupware.org/) ? Opengroupeware is developed using non-java lang and therefore doesn�t match our strategy.
    *3.-* Does the Communications Suite download-pack includes all necessary components of Sun Java ES (Directory Server, Access Manager, etc.) or these components are to be downloaded separately?
    *4.-* What is the difference between the Sun Java System Messaging Server and the Sun Java System Message Queue?
    We appropriate very much your answers and any further useful information regarding our project.
    Thanks
    Asghar

    1> I believe your hardware can support 20 users (you might need to tune the Web Server heap size) - I had a Sparc 2x450mhz w/ 2GB of ram supporting 50+ users quite comfortably - with roughly half using POP and the other half IMAP/webmail. Ideally though, for best performance you would want to break up the main servers (LDAP, WEB, and MS) between hosts) - probably not necessary for 20 users. Having all on one machine simplifies things too (but also makes it a single-point-of-failure). Your disk obviously is important, the faster the better - that it's redundant is also nice - larger deployments might use much fancier storage systems to provide speed and redundancy, and use an the App Server instead of the Web Server as a container for Comms Express.
    2> I don't think it's "oversized" - might you mean overkill? In this case I don't think overkill is a bad thing. Why not have very capable software, even if you don't really need it -is how I see things.
    3> I believe you get all you need in the download. Though I've never tried the 64bit version (which I am guessing is only really necessary for larger deployments where you want to obtain maximized performance for heavier loads). I recommend following the single host evaluation document to get the hang of the install.
    4> I'm not sure - though the Messaging install I believe requires the MQueue stuff, I think it's sort of an API for messaging, also available separately, but used by JES Messaging system?
    Good Luck,

  • Some question for Sun Java System

    Dear all:
    I use Sun Java System We Server 7.0 for my project.
    But I have some question on SJSWS 7.0
    My server runtime information
    1. OS is RedHat Enterprise 3
    2. memory: 2G
    3. SJSWS version: 7.0 preview 3
    My questions
    Q1. The speed that download image is slower than the speed that run JSP page . The image's size to smaller than 5 KB. Is it possible to speed up download image
    Q2. My machine has 2GB memory, The system use swap area always. I think it isn't enough of SJSWS 7.0. How much memory size that SJSWS 7.0?
    Many thank for everybody

    first off, please try the Update 1 release in stead of technology preview releases: http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=467713d6
    Q1> So I want to ask it is possible to display image and text at the same time like use Tomcat ?
    there is nothing in the server end (whether it's Tomcat or any other web server) that affects how the content is displayed on the browser.
    Q2>I detect The ram was used over 800M~1G by SJSWS7. My website has 80~150 user in workinghour
    Are you seeing Web Server process measuring so much memory?
    Q3> Is it possible that the admin server use SJSWS7U1 and some or all of node use SJSWS preview 3, because the server is running on line, I can't stop them for update server
    No - you want to switch to U1 anyway, since it's a released version (and is absolutely FREE for production use).

  • Question about Sun Java Calendar Server 7

    You downloadable forum, at [http://www.sun.com/software/products/calendar_srvr/get_it.jsp|http://www.sun.com/software/products/calendar_srvr/get_it.jsp],
    leaves one with two questions.
    -What databases are needed/supported by this MessageBoard System for backend storage?
    -What are the licensing details? May the MessageBoard/Communications Suite 7
    be installed and used in a commercial environment, free?
    -May Sun Java Calendar Server 7 be downloaded without the Communications suite?
    -Can it be run off an Apache Tomcat Server with J2SE,J2EE codebases?

    Although... at the top of this forum it says
    This is a forum for new Java developers to get acquainted with the technologies and tools associated with the Java Platform.It doesn't actually say anything about programming, not there nor in what follows. So it isn't surprising that the OP thought this was a suitable forum to ask about that server, which looks as if it might be a "tool associated with the Java platform".

  • Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8 - question on UML support

    Hello Everybody,
    I was looking at the features of "Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8" and in the UML support feature they said that this IDE provides source code synchronization with the model.It does this without using markers or tagging in the source code.It says, using them will reduce the productivity.
    I just want to know the reason for this.How can they reduce the productivity? It says as if some IDEs use that procedure. Are there any IDEs which follow that procedure?
    Thank you.

  • Sun Java Communications Suite questions

    Hi all! This is my first post to these boards so please excuse any board fobars.
    Anyway, I have been charge with replacing our existing mail system based on POSTFIX, IMAP and SMTP with a better solution and have come to Sun Java Communications Suite as an option.
    I notice the software can be downloaded for free, but there isn't any obvious mention of end-user costs. Are there any?
    Second, what is the best way to back up the system each night and weekend. I have tried doing a search in Yahoo! and Google but haven't really come up with an answer. Can I back up individial mailboxes and objects with them or must I backup only the system as a whole?
    Thanks for any help!
    Mark

    Yes it has shared folders and you can set up email lists. For instance I have our hylafax fax server just convert the incoming fax and put it in a public company folder that everyone has read access to. Also I have a mailing list that when you send to the address it goes to all employees and you can add the ability for an outside email address like [email protected] rights to send mail to it. The graphical interface works well but you'll want to make your own service packages which isn't hard to do. I really like using commadmin to create my users over the delegated admin but that’s just me.
    Oh yea I also have a public mail folder I use for corp documents. I just email the docs into that folder.
    Calendar server is great. The outlook connector works great.
    Plus if you’re going to run it on Solaris 10 you get all the great functionality of that operating system for instance I have my whole mail server running on a solaris zone which resides on a zfs filesystem.
    Which makes it extremely easy to back up or clone and run experiments or updates something goes wrong just rollback. ZFS is truly the best file system out. Solaris is so awesome it was able to keep running even when one of my cheap xeon processors was running in a degraded state. Solaris Fault manager is a god send and they don’t even market it really. fmadm faulty has saved my butt many times.
    Solaris 10 + commsuite = Little downtime and tons of power.

  • Some Questions about Sun Java Studio Creator IDE

    I am quiet new to the IDE, but I experienced some
    behaviours I do not actually understand.
    I hope I can get some help here.
    Sun Java Studio Creator Update 9
    Each time I change the font size and type using the
    "Advanced" option of the IDE the font I changed correctly.
    But after closing and restarting the IDE the fonts are set
    back to the default undoing my changes.
    Is there a way to use code completion for the jsf tags within jsps ?
    I know that there are code clips for adding jsf components to the jsp,
    but (coming from eclipse ide) I'd appreciate a feature like the code completion for the jsf components. If there is a way by configuring, how can that be acchieved ?
    Trying to add a "taglib declaration" to the jsp e.g. "<%@taglib uri="..." prefix="..." I get the warning that the tags of the xml must be welformed.
    How can I add those taglib declarations correctly ?
    Using the "File System View" after each change made e.g. to a jsp the
    tree collapses and I have to navigate to the tree again to find my resources.
    Is this common behaviour or to be configured ?
    Thx for any support.

    Hi,
    1. The changes made to the font size and type are indeed getting reset in Creator update 9. However this behaviour is not seen in the latest version of Creator which is Creator 2 EA 2. The final version of this will be available very soon and we encourage you to try the new release which has lot more features and lot of bug fixes. For more details please visit:
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/ea/jsc2/
    The following thread will explain about the tags and how they should be well formed:
    http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=47615
    The behaviour of the File System View was encountered in Creator update 9 as you have mentioned. Once again this behaviour was not see in the latest version Creator 2 EA 2.
    So we recommend you to try out the latest version.
    We appreciate your valuable feedback and thank you for the same.
    Cheers

  • How to make weblogic proxy to work on Sun Java system web server 7?

    Hi Every one,
    I am working on upgrade our Sun one 6.1 webserver to Sun Java system web server 7. Our website uses weblogic server to process jsp, web server only send static pages. I did all configurations as on Sun one. But somehow, the webserver does not forward "get jsp page" request to weblogic. The log record is:

    Quick obvious question - Are you positive you're editing the correct obj.conf? Check the config directory and see if there is a second one called something like <instance>.obj.conf (where <instance> is the name of your configured instance).
    Alternatively you can grep for object-file in the server.xml to see which obj.conf the server is using:
    # grep object-file server.xml
        <object-file>bare-php.obj.conf</object-file>Assuming that you are editing the correct obj.conf file, are you making certain to restart Web Server after making your changes?

  • SUN Java System Web Server 7.0U1 How to install certificate chain

    I am trying to install a certificate chain using the SUN Java Web Server 7.0U1 HTTPS User interface. What I have tried so far:
    1. Created a single file using vi editor containing the four certificates in the chain by cutting an pasting each certificate (Begin Certificate ... End Certificate) where the top certificate is the server cert (associated with the private key), then the CA that signed the server cert, then the next CA, then the root CA. Call this file cert_chain.pem
    2. Go to Certificates Tab/Server Certificates
    3. Choose Install
    4. Cut and paste contents of cert_chain.pem in the certificate data box.
    5. Assign to httplistener
    6. Nickname for this chain is 'server_cert'
    7. Select httplistener and assign server_cert (for some reason, this is not automatically done after doing step 5).
    8. No errors are received.
    When I display server_cert (by clicking on it), only the first certificate of the chain is displayed and only that cert is provided to the client during the SSL handshake.
    I tried to do the same, except using the Certificate Authority Tab, since this gave the option of designating the certificate as a CA or chain during installation. When I select ed "chain," I get the same results when I review the certificate (only the first cert in the file is displayed). This tells me that entering the chain in PEM format is not acceptable. I tried this method since it worked fine with the F5 BIG-IP SSL appliance.
    My question is what format/tool do I need to use to create a certificate chain that the Web Server will accept?

    --- END CERTIFICATE ---is NOT the way to create a certificate chain.
    I have installed a certificated chain (it had 1 BEGIN CERTIFICATE and one END CERTIFICATE only and still had 2 certificates) and I used the same steps as you mentioned and it installed both the certificates.

  • How do I get the SUN Java plugin to work in Firefox 8.0 or Seamonkey 2.6?

    After a recent automatic upgrade of Firefox on my Xubuntu 11.04 system, the SUN Java plugin is no longer recognized by Firefox. I tried the old method of manually symlinking the corresponding library to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and various other directories that contained plugins, but to no avail. Other plugins like Flash work fine.
    Having the SUN Java plugin working is a must for me in order to be able to access my online bank, the Citrix server at my workplace, etc.

    Also,
    Exit Firefox and rename the '''pluginreg.dat''' in your profile folder and start Firefox again. This may help to reinitialize the plugins that Firefox recognizes.

  • Java 1.5, Servlet 2.4 support in Sun Java System Web Server?

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know when the next version of Sun Java System Web Server will be released? 6.1 has been around a while and it doesn't support the latest Java releases, which is odd for a Java product from the company that owns Java. My Sun rep didn't have an answer for me and suggested posting here.
    I have seen references to people trying to use 1.5 with their server in another forum, but they were reporting problems and their questions weren't answered.
    Thanks!
    Dennis

    Hi,
    Try the new
    SAP NetWeaver Application Server, Java EE 5 Edition
    thus you will have the chance to use the latest Servlet 2.5. The download package includes also the new SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.

  • Sun Java System Application Server installation location on windows

    Hi there...
    I'm just doing the "Your First Cup: An Introduction to the Java EE Platform" tutorial for the first time. I'm trying to add the Sun Java System Application Server in NetBeans IDE. It's asking me to select the Platform Location, and I have no idea where that is. No help instructions I've found say where it normally gets installed, and I've found now mention of it on the web.
    Can anyone tell me the location where this is supposed to be located? I HAVE installed the Java EE SDK 5 for Windows. The location it offers as a default is "C:\Program Files\glassfish-v2ur2\", but there is a red message at the bottom of the dialog that reads "Provide a valid Application Server Installation Location for 'Sun Java System App...". The Register Local Default Domain drop-down box has not options to select, either.
    I would try and search some more, but I just don't know what to search for. If anyone can offer any insight into this, I appreciate it.
    Thanks a ton!!!

    I`ve posted a shorter version of the question in the hopes of getting a timely answer. Thanks

  • SOAP on Sun Java System Application Server 9

    I am running the Sun Java System Application Server 9 (SJSAS). My goal is to have SOAP running on the server to handle incoming messages. I cannot find the answers to the following critical questions anywhere.
    1. Should I be creating my own soap client/server with the javax.xml.soap package, using some utility that might come bundled with SJSAS that I don't know about, or using something like Apache AXIS?
    2. Whatever I use, how should it be deployed to the application server? AXIS comes as a bunch of jar files, but to deploy a web service to SJSAS requires a war. Instructions for other application servers for using AXIS seem not to apply for SJSAS for this reason.
    3. After I get the server installed, how do I actually connect that to any of the rest of the code on my server. For instance, would I put the actual business logic to query the persistence layer in a stateless session bean and then somehow reference the methods in that bean to compose the return message to go to the client?
    If anybody knows of or is willing to create a tutorial to achieve this goal on SJSAS and has a place to post it, that would probably be a great contribution to the information available online. If I am missing such a tutorial, I apologize and would be glad to have it pointed out to me. Any assistance with actually deploying soap for SJSAS would be tremendously helpful. There is a lot of why to use it, when to use it, what the spec is, and so on online. There is precious little how to use it and even less how to deploy it. Thank you for any help.

    the sun java system application server 8 and 9 comes with certutil and pk12util (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/pk12util.html) programes. using them you can import them
    or check on google how to conver pk12 certs to NSS format.
    another option is to open the certificate in Internet explorer and save to cer format and then convert.
