Offline Web Start app fails to launch with Java 7 Update 25

So it seems that another issue with Java 7 update 25 and Web Start applications is that a signed application will not launch when offline.
It fails when attempting to check the revocation status of the signing certificate.
Anyone have any ideas to get around this exception aside from uninstalling update 25?
Thanks!

Disregard. I found that the user had changed the java security settings to "Very High" in addition to upgrading to update 25.

My web start app doesn't get cached

Many apologies if this topic has been covered before but I have extensively searched the archive and can't seem to find it.
I have made my own trivial web start app and it downloads and works fine with my installed web start software. The problem I have is that when I launch the web start application manager and start my app from there the app does not apear in the "downloaded applications" section and hence I can't get to run it unless I have a connection.
Firstly I though I may be missing the <offline-allowed/> element from the JNLP file but it wasn't that. Then I thought it may be because my jars aren't signed but then the examples from sun worked OK and they weren't signed at all.
I have checked in the web starts cache directory and it looks to me as if the correct jars are in there but still the application manager won't show my app as one of the downloaded ones.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Gareth Walker

The Java Web Start application Manager will only display applications who's jnlp files are cached.
In order to cache your jnlp file you need to include an href attribute for the jnlp element in your jnlp
file. This may not allways be possible if your jnlp file is programatically generated by a servlet,
but it works for static jnlp files.

Java Signing issues when loading web start app

Hey, not sure if this is the correct place for this - but couldn't think where else to put it...
I'm a bit stuck at the moment and i wondered if anyone could shed some light on my problem, and where I might go from here.
We've developed a EJB3 application that has a web start UI for users to start... The application is developed in Eclipse and compiled and deployed with ant build scripts... When we deploy the application from within Eclipse everything runs smoothly and users are able to start the web start app without any problems... However I've recently tried setting up a Continuous Integration server (Hudson) for us to test new deploys on and for this our build scripts need to be run outside of Eclipse...
This appears to run without a problem, however each time the system is deployed from here the web start application fails to start because web start cannot verify the signing in the client jar
Could not verify signing in resource: http://10.39.216.5:8080/mist2/lib/mist2-client.jarAs far as I can tell from the output of the build everything goes according to plan and there is little difference between the output if the build had been started in eclipse... The only big difference is that when building in Eclipse the build only packs up the compiled code, because Eclipse auto build the application, whereas in Hudson the code is clean built using the ant scripts (which are created by Eclipse)... and if I turn autobuild off eclipse and build the project from scratch using only the build scripts then the same problem arises...
I'm not really an expert on jar signing so I can't really guess at what might cause the verification to fail... any hints would be much appreciated. It feels like there is something that the Eclipse compiler does that is missing from the scripts but I can't think what this might be as the scripts are created in Eclipse
Thanks
Alex

Alex,
I believe your problem might be similar to one I had. According to one forum response (of course I can't find it now), if you have third-party JARs in your application (which in your case would be any eclipse jars), they might already be signed by their originators (as are eclipse jars), which may cause some really strange errors.
The solution for me was to package my third-party (that is, eclipse) jars into their own feature, separate from my application's feature. So, my main jnlp file has an extension to my application's feature jnlp, and that feature's jnlp file has an extension to yet another jnlp file containing the list of third-party (eclipse) jars. Of course, your jar list will probably be different than mine.
Here's all three files. Hope this helps!!

Java Web Start application failing on my user account

Hi All,
I've been tearing my hair out over this for a while and haven't been able to get anywhere wiht it. I've finally cracked and decided to post a plea for help in here.
Basically, I have a web start application that will not start under my user profile but will under a new account I created. If I try and start it from the terminal with javaws I get "Bus Error" and that's all. Double clicking it gives me a crash dialoge box and the details can be seen here:
http://pastebin.com/m77b1111f
As I said before, running it in the other account works fine as does "sudo javaws /path/to/app.jnlp" but I really don't want to have to do that every single time.
I've deleted the JavaCache folder as well as any ~/Library/Preferences/java.plist all without any joy. Also, I'd like to add that there are a number of other Web Start apps that run without any problems.
Any ideas?

Thing is, if there was corruption of something that was system wide, it wouldn't work under a different profile, right?
Unpredictable as to how lomg it would work on a new account.
Is this usually the case for a safe boot?
Yes, it runs fsck_hfs -fy on the whole drive, dumps several caches & so on, the next boot will also take longer than usual as it rebuilds caches & so on.

Passing a parameter to a Web start app

Hi, I'm having trouble getting a single integer value into my web start application. I understand how you do this with a JNLP however I need a different value for this integer depending on a PHP script. With applets it was fairly simple but with web start apps it seems a little more complex - the only way I could think of was to recreate the entire JNLP file via the PHP script which seems a bit cumbersome if all that's changing is a single integer.
I had a look around on the web for information about this but it seems that information on passing parameters to web start applications is few and far between.
I'd be very grateful for an answer!
Thanks.

alex.p wrote:
So in this case how would I pass the integer as a parameter to the webstart app. Is there no way of simply putting it in the link to the JNLP e.g ?
You could do that if you liked. Is there some expectation that the user will run the web start application after you do that? Or that the user won't already be running it? Or that the user will ever run it? I think you should back up and try to figure out what the point of this parameter is. Is it supposed to make something happen? Or are you just changing the application for the next time a user gets around to using it? Or what? As I said, this really doesn't make much sense so you need to provide a requirement that does make sense if you want to get anywhere at all.

Quick Time (Audio Preferences) fails to launch with buffer overrun error

It all started a few weeks ago, after installing itunes7.0 for windows, and itunes began to annoy me (indeed drive me mad) with an error message :
"an unhandled win32 exception has occured in itunes.exe [3840]" at startup / closing immediately afterwards.
After numerous uninstall/reinstall/clean the registry/system restore attempts I managed to solve the issue-- BUT only for a few days..It failed again and so I went through the itunes support forums even found an entry
"iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes fails to launch with an unknown error"
which suggests that my issue could be solved by :
"Open the QuickTime control panel and select the Audio tab.
In the Devices section de-select the Safe mode (waveOut only) option and click Apply."
But to my surprise, when i selected the Audio tab (and the Audio tab ONLY ) it presented me a "buffer overrun error" which indicated that the internal state of the program has been corrupt and it would be shutting down now..
It's such a nuisance..!!
Please, help, and your help will be deeply appreciated... !
I have tried to revert to the older version and it didn't work..

let's try swapping out your existing QuickTime one more time. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Adobe apps fail to launch after copying via ARD 3

For several years we have beeen updating our Adobe apps by updating our master image and copying (via ARD v.1, then v.2, now v. 3) the applications and the associated Application Support files to the target machines. (300 Macs running Tiger) Since upgrading to version 3 of ARD. Adobe apps fail to launch after they are replaced, even with the old files.
I found a post alluding to a known issue with Acrobat from June. It stated it was a known bug that engineering was aware of. THAT was the only mention I could find. Does anyone know anything more about this? This is critical for our publishing workflow - Adobe has two updates that affect us in critical areas that we need to implement, but are reluctant to visit 300 individual desktops (even remotely) and run individual install patches.
The silent install works great for installation, but does not address updates.
Anyone?

Java Web Start.app, apparent problems.

I have been experiencing many small problems during web browsing, etc. and have received terrific help from Barry Hemphill but he is unable to help on Java matters.
When I open Java Web Start app. I get the following message; "You cannot open Java Web Start.app because it it is damaged or incomplete". This is possibly, at least by the app's. name the cause of my troubles, though I am guessing. Can anyone guide me to where I can download and re-install the app. to see if it does overcome my problems. A typical one of them is happening as I type, the screen characters are lagging heavily behind my two-finger typing.

Your jnlp checker Vanessa is quite useful.
Is the source available, because I would like to fix a bug or two I noticed.
Then check out Gentleware's Poseidon.
http://www.gentleware.com/download/Poseidon4umlJWS.jnlp
It is a commercial version of Tigris.org's ArgoUML, a free UML editor,
which is webstartable as well:
http://argouml.tigris.org/files/documents/4/0/0100/ArgoUMLWebStart.jnlp
Interesting about Poseidon was how they implemented key registration for their JWS app, a common task for commercial applications.
However Poseidon unwillingly illustrates limitations of the present JWS implementation - this beast is large (about 10-30 MB).
I loaded it at home via an ISDN link (8KB/s) and it took much time. The download was interrupted for several times, I hadn't start to download again from zero, because the app is splitted into several smaller jars, but still had to reload interrupted jars.
Some days later it turned out that the disk I had the JWS cache on got full. Thus I wanted to move my precious downloads to another partition, which is not possible. You can't move cache contents elsewere, so I had to redownload it again later (ouch).
An interesting bit about ArgoUML is how they speed up their large app by forcing class loading in a background thread. I saw that in their source and want to try out that technique myself soon, perhaps it gives a little speed advantage.

Marc

Java Web Start apps defaulting to 32-bit JVM; need 64-bit

We use Java Web Start to install our client interface application.
When I install on a 64-bit Windows Server 2003 system, the desktop icon that is created points to C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\javaws.exe, which opens the client in a 32-bit JVM.
How can I get Web Start to generate the icon with a target of C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\javaws.exe so that it will start in a 64-bit JVM?
Do we control the string that is used for the target or is it a built-in function that we cannot change? (Note: I'm not the developer, just researching the problem so I can tell the coder what, if anything, should be changed.)

Problem when exiting an app that was launched with Jawa web start

Hey
Using java web start my jdk/jre is 1.6 u1. I can deploy and launch/install my apps fine, but when i exit them a instance of javaw.exe is eating memory. With a few stops/starts of my app i finnally crashed the computer with about 15 javaw.exe processes up and running.
The app terminates fine if i launch it from command line or eclipse.
Using SWT if that can have anythign to do with it

I spotted this
http://lopica.sourceforge.net/faq.html#linger
which says that for some reason you have to call System.exit for Swing apps and for some reason webstart turns all apps into Swing apps!
I'm using SWT and thought that closing the shell should shutdown the JVM correctly, perhaps Swing has some nasty non-daemon threads hanging around ? I'd love to know more so if anyone has got any detailed information, that'd be great.

Java console doesn't launch when starting Java Web Start app from Firefox

Updated my Linux desktop from RHEL to Fedora 12 with resultant upgrade of Firefox to 3.5.9 and now when I launch our Java Web Start application, no Java console appears. The Java Control Panel still shows "Show Console" as set. My app uses Java 1.5 which I have installed on my desktop.
What do I do to properly configure my browser/desktop to support use of the Java console?
Please help, I need to debug our app!

..Please help, I need to debug our app!Cannot tell you the answer to your FF hassles (because I have no idea why you're seeing that behaviour(1)), but note that you might be able side-step FF by launching a JWS app. using the javaws tool directly from the command line or an Ant build file.
1) Though you might try rebooting the machine if any installation/configuration changes have occurred since last boot.
Also note that many problems with JWS apps. can be sorted be checking the JNLP using JaNeLA.
