No JNLP on Vista 64 ?

Does Java support JNLP on Vista 64 bit? If so, how do you lunch 'em???
(there's no javaws.exe installed)
I'm running:
java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode)
Thanks!

Although the 32 bit version of javaws should work fine on 64 bit vista, starting with 1.6.0_12, a full 64 bit version of javaws as well as the java plug-in are available.

JMF + JNLP / WEBSTART on Linux or Windows Vista

Hi,
I'm writing an application that must be launch by JNLP (web start)!
This app. uses JMF for cameras (video) and microphone(sound).
There is a problem on M$ Vista also on Linux. On those systems it works well when the app. is launched from eclipse. but when it's luanched by the webstart JMF can't see any devices connected to the PC. I suppose it migth be "security" problem that it's in fact app. launched by the web-browser. Do you have any ideas how to fixe it? On Windows XP that problem doesn't exists. How ever now it's too difficult to buy ne notebook with XP :D that's why I need to run it on Vista / Linux.
I use ususally java 1.6 :)
Thnks. for help.
Damien.

Hello.
Me again. Is anyone able to help me out here, this is driving me to distraction. In addition to the above when using a hand crafted applet tag I get the same "NoClassDefFoundError" error. But I have tried all manner of paths, codebases, added various attributes to my (ant built) manifest file including Application-Name, Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase, Caller-Allowable-Codebase some out of desperation.
I know what the error is telling me but I simply cannot see where I am going wrong. If I write a syntactically correct applet tag or jnlp file I can execute all of these on Linux using various methods but my Windows machine fails consistently with the aforementioned error. When using a browser the HTML, JNLP and JAR files are all served via HTTPS.
If anyone can help I'd be very greatful.

Java Web Start 1.6 fails to start application without Java Consol on Vista

Hi All,
I've faced with problem related to starting my application in IE 7 on Vista SP1 using Java Web Start (JRE 1.6.0_12 and 1.6.0_13). I suppose that issue appears after 11th update of JRE 1.6 since it works fine before.
There were set settings to indicate initial and maximal size of the Java heap in the JNLP file.
Application consist of 2 JAR files and they are signed with the same certificate.
When user tried to start application there is no any activity after accepting certificate. After starting application javaw.exe just disappeared from processes list without any message or error.
When I changed default setting in Java Control Panel to show Java Console, I noticed that the application began to start. But it's not a solution of the issue, since all customers cannot be required to turn on Java console.
I believe this is a bug in JRE as the application starts with Java console and doesn't without it.
When I browsed the web looking for the solution or an advice I found Release notes for 1.6.0_014 where it was said that 6u14 Java Web Start failed to launch and notifies that JARs were not signed, if an insecure Java system property was specified in a sandbox JNLP file. In spite of that 14th updated wasn't used and there was no notification I tried to start application without settings for the Java heap and it worked.
Could someone help me with advice, since the application cannot be started with default heap size settings.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
as the 6u15 just arrived and the above mentioned bug should've been fixed (though I was unable to verify through the release notes), the error is still in there.
We have no timestamped jars, neither ours nor the bouncy castle ones, all certs are valid, ours is self signed.
6u13 runs, 6u14/6u15 won't.
I followed the instructions here: http://bouncycastle.org/devmailarchive/msg10415.html to no avail.
The bcprov.jar is wrapped in its own jnlp and referred as extension from the "main" jnlp.
The interesting parts of the stack trace are these:
Caused by (via getCause): java.lang.SecurityException: JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC
     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
Caused by (via getCause): java.util.jar.JarException: Cannot parse https://localhost:8443/deploy/bcprov.jar

     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA13*..)
For me it seems there's a problem with resolving the url of the bcprov.jar, which would explain the lack of a delay which normally occurs when JCE verifies the signature of the bcprov provider classes. The error pops up almost instantly.
I'm clueless what to do now. Did Sun really achieve to completely destroy JCE provider functionality in Javaws, forcing us to use an alternative implementation?

Java web start in Windows vista

Hi,
1)
When i tried to launch my Java Web start application in Windows Vista (32bit) With Jre 1.6_06 the java web start did not loaded. the process terminates at certain points.
By Remote debugging got to know,: It was exiting the application at different points at different time
At some points it says ClassNotFoundException. No logs at cache location also.
Is it due to the jars are not loaded properly?? Jnlp is pasted bellow
2) another problem here is the system did not have the jre installed earlier. how does system identified the jnlp file format if no jre available first time??
So rather auto download I have installed jre manually and was launching the application
thanks a lot,

Java 1.6.0_05 does not recognize first and last property in jnlp file

Hi
Has anybody else seen this?
The jnlp file contains five properties, but the JRE does not recognize the first nor the last property.

We also have this problem, but it's not first and last property.
We have 6 properties, and the 3. property is gone.
If I download the jnlp file, the property is there, if I choose show jnlp file in "javaws -viewer" it's not there. Only difference between this property and the working properties is length.
The length is char 255, and the data is base64 encoded.
I worked fine before upgrading to Java 6 update 5.
Anyone any ideas?

Vista UAC - handle privileges elevation

Hi guys,
I've been having some trouble with one of the application I have to maintain.
Some things that might be needed in order to understand my needs:
- it is a java web start application
- it embbeds a few Windows applications that we did not develop
- it has to be able to run those embedded applictions. This requires elevation of privileges through a runtime.exec() call.
At the very first execution, since this is a java web start application, they will get the error saying "this operation couldn't be performed. you need to run this software as administrator".
Up until now, we tell our customers to "right click -> execute as administrator" on the application icon on the desktop, but I really don't like this.
I would prefer to ask for an elevation only for procedures needing those rights.
I know that one of the main issue is that the java VM is run with user privileges only, so any attempt to create a child process will end up with the very same privileges (leading to the error code 740 I always get for now when calling runtime.exec() ).
Is there a "sexy" way to implement privileges elevation programmatically in Java?
If not, is there a plan in the Java VM development to implement this kind of call? (please correct me if I'm wrong) Even though I realise this really is OS specific, it is impossible to do with the tools we have at hand currently. I also suppose that this UAC will have the same behaviour or a really close to the one in Vista in the coming Windows Seven.
Some things that would be pretty neat:
- add the "Vista elevation needed flag" to the Manifest contained in a Jar file, as an OS specific parameter
- add the "Vista elevation needed flag" to the JNLP file, as an OS specific parameter
Many thanks in advance for any help,
Cheers
Eric

Not quite sure how that helps?
The "manifest" in that isn't a java manifest. It requires a windows executable.
You can of course wrap a java app into a JNI C executable. Is that what you had in mind?That would work too. What I had in mind was the embedded Windows Applications the OP was referring to.
I did a test using jre-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe and it seems to worked.

Windows Vista 's Window Title Bar [Blur Effect]

Hello guys
im trying to make a blur effect like windows vista's window
title bar, where one can see the background application in a blury
way.
How can i do the same thing?
please guide
thanks in advance

That's unfortunate it was removed in Java 5. We use Web Start for headless applications (no GUI windows) and so at times would have multiple instances running on the same machine each using a different JNLP. Previously, we could see which instance was which by the console displaying the description tag information on the console's title bar. This was a great feature of JWS that now appears to be less functional. Sun, is there a way to get this back if you are listening?
The s: command doesn't display the JNLP description tags which we helped to identify the application. We want to use Windows task manager to see a list of all applications and from this list end any JWS process easily from the window. Without the title on the console window, there is no way to uniquely identify a particular application.
Regardless, our frustration in using JWS has increased with this new introduced limitation.

JWS Desktop shortcut fails to update after JNLP change in 1.6.0 update 18

Has anyone else noticed the desktop shortcut fail to update after a change to the JNLP with the latest Java 1.6.0 update 18 release?
Here are the steps we've found to replicate the issue on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 using both IE and Firefox:
1) Download a JWS application and allow the desktop link to be created
2) Inspect the desktop shortcut and notice the path to the JNLP cache entry
3) Modify the JNLP at the server
4) Run the application via the desktop link - at this point the application will download updates and execute without issues.
5) Close the application - upon close, JWS will remove the old JNLP cache entry if the JNLP contained the security/all-permissions directive
6) Inspect the desktop shortcut again - notice that the path to the JNLP cache entry will remain unchanged
7) Launch the application again using the desktop link - JWS will fail with a cache exception if the JNLP contained the security/all-permissions element or will just run from the old JNLP
I've submitted a bug but just wanted to confirm that others are encountering the same issue.
Thanks,
Troy

Thanks for confirming.
This issue seems to continually creep into the Java releases. In the 1.6.0 releases, the issue is resolved in update 7 through update 11. Update 12, 13, and 14 all had various JNLP issues but I did find this specific issue with update 14. It was fixed again in update 15 and remained fixed through update 17.
I submitted two bugs and provided a simple sample application on our production site to use for testing with a url to update the last modified time. If bug is accepted, I'll post it here for others to vote for a fix.

Jnlp incompatibility with Safari and Chrome - work arounds?

I've been developing an extension to live connect that allows remote development from the IDE. As part of this I need to reliably deploy an applet on (Firefox, IE, Safari (Ver 4 on Vista), Opera and Chrome). Everything works fine on Firefox and IE but Safari and Chrome don't even recognize the jnlp urls as java related - just dead tags.
If I deploy using "http://java.com/js/deployJava.js" all browsers work correctly but I loose the jnlp features.
I have questions for two deployment use cases -
Case one is the user case which does not require advanced features such as socket access. Obviously I can deploy using the script and everything's happy - is this the best solution?
Case two is the developer case where the applet creates a socket connection to an running on the IDE. This works fine with jnlp on firefox and explorer but not on other platforms. Do I need jnlp to open the socket to local host? Is there a way to get jnlp to properly deploy/launch on Safari and Chrome?
All answers and advice are appreciated,
Bob

Firstly, apologies for the delayed response! Secondly, thanks for the advice!
I have created another user and both browsers are perfectly fine and instantly responsive.
My security settings are on WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK).
Any suggestions what in my main user causes the problem?

Tecra M9-136 - BSOD during Vista SP2 update

Tecra M9-136 asked this morning to update to Vista SP2 and during the process the BSOD 0x0000007E arrived. Restarted in Safe Mode and the installer continued and then finally reported that the update had failed - and reverted to SP1. This took most of the morning.
It will start in Safe Mode but on a normal boot-up, Vista SP1 gets through the fingerprint recognition and then fails with the same BSOD (it doesn't get as far as displaying the desktop).
The laptop has BIOS level 1.80. I've tried in Safe mode to install 1.90 but it tells me that the battery has insufficient charge and the power adapter isn't attached. Both untrue.
Stuck - need advice. Could this be a hard fault? Can't see how I can update anything if it's a soft fault.
thanks

The message with the BSOD mentioned checking BIOS and driver versions. Anyway, no change made to that.,
I tried System Restore but the only available restore point was the SP2 installation. I thought Vista was supposed to save a restore point every 24 hours even if nothing new had been installed.
I've now found in System Information / Windows Error Reporting several messages like this:

Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

Hello,
I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

IPod is not recognized by Windows Vista - possible solution

During the past couple of weeks that I faced this problem I found out that a lot of people had the same question as I did.
Here is a possible solution.
I have HP Pavilion laptop with Windows Vista. After I connected my new iPod – it didn’t show up in My Computer as a new device and in Device Manager it was listed in “Other devices” with a question mark next to it. I already had iTunes installed – it didn’t show up in iTunes. On the attempt to reinstall the driver I had a message that the driver was found but an error occurred while installing it.
Here is what I did:
1. Install iTunes (it has iPod driver for Vista in it).
2. Turn on iPod and connect it to computer.
3. Restart computer with iPod turned on and connected to computer.
4. On the start up the computer will begin automatically installing the driver and the message will appear in the corner that new device is being installed.
5. After it has been installed – check My Computer – you should see it listed there.
6. Run iTunes and configure iPod.
iTunes might run a little bit slow when configuring iPod for the first time.
Good luck.

if only this fix worked for windows xp or even 2000 (at my job)
insane, but it IS a driver/usb problem i now know, at least i've gotten that far.

IPod not recognized by iTunes, Windows Vista prompts to format iPod drive

Hello,
I have IPod 80GB which I rarely use. Yesterday when I wanted to use it, I went to add a few new audios to it, connected to my computer and launched iTunes. I added the folder which contained audios to iPod, synced it and wanted to disconnect, but iTunes took excepionally long to finish.
When I clicked on 'eject' icon, I go a message saying 'some files are being accessed' or something like that. I waited for 5-10 minutes but it won't finish up, so I unplugged my iPod as I had to leave.
Later when I wanted to play, I noticed I had no audios in iPod at all.
Later when I got home, connected it again to computer, launched iTunes, but iTunes won't show iPod. A few minutes later, windows (Vista) prompted a message saying that it needs to format N: drive (which was iPod).
I tried diagnostics on tis site, restarted/reset iPod etc, but it didn't solve the problem. I removed and reinstalled iTunes as per instructions, still no use.
Then I called Apple support Canada and the guy on the phone said I need to pay to get support. He said he'd send me some documents via email which would solve the problem and hen I wouldn't have to pay. I gave him my email address, but so far I have recieved no emails from him. I have checked my spam and junk folders, just in case, but nothing there.
Anyhow, this issue came up all of a sudden, there has been no physical damage to iPod, I barely use it. maybe for few minutes here and there a month. I have had numerous problems in the past every time a new iTunes update come, it always creates problems. Last year I spent many hours after iTunes update make iPod unrecognizable so I had to go back to older version, then upgrade etc. I don't remember how I solved the issue, but it took a while and it turned out to be something of iTunes version issue.
I wonder if this is another of such issue. I hope its not a hardware issue with iPod. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

Ipod not being being read by vista

Hi Guys,
I have an 8 gig nano which I got for Xmas in 2007.
It has worked great (apart from the 4 sets of sennheiser and sony headphones ive been through), less errors than my old 4 gig had.
But it has an error and I dont know how to fix it or why its happened so Im hoping someone can help.
About a week ago I was transfering some mp3 files onto my ipod. I thought the transfer had gone smoothly, but when I unplugged my ipod and tried to listen to the songs in my recently added playlist, I was unable to select any most of the songs I had just added (and some I had added a week earlier). It wont let me select these songs either in the songs list or recently played list and skips to the next song. Then it wont let me skip back past that song!
Also the ipod is no longer recognised by itunes. It simply doesnt pop up in the menu when I plug it in. Windows recognises an ipod has been plugged in, but when I try to explore the ipod it wont let me and tells me the device needs to be formatted.
The exact error message when I try to access the ipod directly through vista reads:
"You need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it"
The ipod is still usable and charges, but I cannot listen or skip back past the songs ive recently added, itunes wont recognise it and I cant add anymore songs because I cant access it through Itunes.
I have tried:
1. The manual reset by holding the centre and middle buttons down
2. charging it completely
3. trying different USB ports
4. trying a different ipod cable.
5. Uninstalling and reinstalling new itunes.
Nothing Helps! Any suggestions? Im thinking Im going to have to do a format
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Thanks,
John

You may need to change the drive letter of the ipod as describe [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493]
If you can't see the ipod in disk management, before you connect the ipod, open itunes, select edit/preferences, with that open click on Show desktop. This will make itunes busy. Then connect the ipod.

Windows Vista - Error 2908

I just bought an IPod off of a friend and I'm trying to download Itunes. I keep getting Error 2908. I have to manually go into task manager to get the error messages to stop. This message shows up at the install screens.
Any help would be appreciated. I know that I read some info about needing to be in Administrator mode. I did right click on the Itunes download icon, and selected "run as administrator" - this did not help either.

In over a year of installing Vista... not once.
My guess is Vista doesn't like GUID and EFI partitions in x32.
Vista x64 w/ SP1 supports installs to GUID and support for U-EFI.

No JNLP on Vista 64 ?
