Packaging and Delpoying Java Application

I have a java application that i want to package and deploy. I have used JSmooth to wrap my jar file into an exe file. However I was wondering if there are any applications that could be used to install this program like other installers do (ask path, create shortcut, etc).

There are several packages available that let you create an installer which lets the customer select where to install your app, creates a native executable to launch your java app, adds desktop icons, menus, etc.
Here's a list of some of apps available:

Building and Deploying Java applications in different platform (OS)

Hi all,
We currently have a J2EE based web services application that is built (compiled) and deployed on Windows 2000 Advanced server. But in future, we will be using WIndows 2000 server for development only and HP-UX for production.
So, we are planning on executing the build (compilation) of our application on Windows 2000 server and deploy the same binaries (WAR) on HP-UX also. So, I wanted to know anyone has faced issues in the past by deploying an application on a different platform than the one on which it was compiled. Is it recommended by SUN to compile and build Java applications on the same platform on which the application is deployed.
Note that in my case, the JVM versions between Windows server and HP-UX would be the same. But the JVM for Windows server has been provided by Sun and the JVM for HP-UX has been provided by HP-UX.
Your inputs are greatly appreciated.

Well, it's all Java, right? So what's the problem? Since the JVM for HP-UX isn't made by Sun, so there could be compatibility problems, but I would expect that would be minimal if a problem at all. But you can't know unless you run it.
I don't know about building on the different systems. Java's supposed to be write once, run anywhere.... The byte code should be compatible no matter what. I've never heard of Sun saying "compile it on each platform". If the HP JVM isn't going to like bytecode compiled on Windows or another OS, then something isn't kosher with someone's JVM or compiler.

How do I start and suspend Java Application from say C++ program

I want to start a Java application via C++ and on some condition i want to suspend the same program not terminate , but suspend

Have you tried running the virtual machine from your C++ application ? You can start Java applications from your C++ application using JNI after starting the Virtual machine from within your C++ application. According to the Java documentation you can even now stop the virtual machine from within your C++ program.
I haven't looked at the 'suspend' detail but I suppose it will not be a problem to call a method via JNI to set a flag to suspend a thread etc.
There is a tutorial: 'Invoking the Java Virtual Machine' at the following URL: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/invoking/invo.html.
This example seems to work only for version1.1 of the JDK. For JDK1.3, version 1.2, (I am not so sure whether I fully understand Sun's version numbers for Java yet) there is some updates on the JNI for starting the VM from C++. This article is called 'JNI Enhancements'. The URL for this article is:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3.0/docs/guide/jni/jni-12.html
You have to set version to: JNI_VERSION_1_2
There is only one problem. I get an error when calling JNI_CreateJavaVM from C++. I could not find any documentation that indicates how you can go about diagnosing what is causing the problem. Normally in Visual C++ you can just get the probable cause by inspecting GetLastError() or the function itself can return helpful diagnostic (error) codes.
If you manage to start the VM correctly from within Visual C++ please let me know. My email address is [email protected]
good luck

Oracle 9.0.1 and Sun Java Application Server problem

Hello
I am gonna configure Oracle's (9.0.1) thin JDBC driver (only for JDK 1.3) on Sun Java Application Server 8
I copied the class12.zip to domain1/lib/ext. I add the usr name and passwd in domain1/config/domain.xml.
it looks like
<jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource" fail-all-connections="false" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-connection-validation-required="false" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="false" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="OraclePool" pool-resize-quantity="2" res-type="javax.sql.DataSource" steady-pool-size="8">
<property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ora9i"/>
<property name="Password" value="tiger"/>
<property name="User" value="scott"/>
It doesn't work though. Anybody know the problem?
Thanks a lot

You should use the oracle 9.0.3 ojdbc14.jar or a later version, not classes12.zip.
The config looks like for me:
<jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource" fail-all-connections="false" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-connection-validation-required="false" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="true" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="my-oracle-pool" pool-resize-quantity="2" res-type="javax.sql.DataSource" steady-pool-size="16">
<property name="URL" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:mydb"/>
<property name="user" value="user"/>
<property name="password" value="mypass"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
You will also need to boot the server after adding the jar files to lib/ext

Packaging and Deploying Weblogic Application

Hi,
I am having trouble in deploying a Weblogic application. I made a Web
application in Weblogic6.1 on Windows2000. The directory structure of my
JSPs, Images and Servlets are as follows:
JSPs - DefaultWebApp
JavaBeans(not EJB)(these JavaBeans are used by the JSPs as well as the
Servlet)
- DefaultWebApp\Web-Inf\Classes\Servletspkg\Loginpkg,
- DefaultWebApp\Web-Inf\Classes\Servletspkg\Workpkg, etc.
HTML - DefaultWebApp
Images - DefaultWebApp\Images
Servlets - DefaultWebApp\Web-Inf\Classes\Servletspkg
web.xml and weblogic.xml - DefaultWebApp\Web-Inf
The Web application runs fine. Now I want to package the above Web
application and deploy it under Solaris8 (Weblogic 6.1)( in another
machine.) I am not able to do that. I would be grateful if you could let me
know the steps involved in packaging and deploying.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
I deployed the webapp to the default webapp on solaris and it worked.
Thanks!

Hi.
Hmm, hard to say.
I notice in your deployment on Windows 2000 you deployed in the defaultwebapp,
but on solaris you deploy in 'test' webapp. I suspect this is the root ofthe
problem. Since you are having problems calling J2.jsp I wonder how youare
calling it. When calling from the default webapp you don't need tospecify a
webapp context in the url, but from test webapp you do (depending on howyou are
calling it - full url vs relative url).
So in summary consider 2 things:
1. how are you calling J2.jsp that might be different than how you callthe
servlet from J1.jsp?
2. what happens if you deploy your webapp to the default webapp onsolaris? my
guess is that this will work.
Hope this helps,
Michael

Hi,
I could finally deploy the web application on the Solaris machine. But I
am
not sure if I did the right thing. I followed the steps below:
1.I created a folder "test" under "config/mydomain/applications"folder.
2.I extracted the .war file in this folder which was successful.
3.Then I tried to run the application with the URL
http://localhost:7001/test
4. I got "J1.jsp" (located in "test" folder) as I excpected. This pagecalls
a servlet "ControllerServlet" located in folder
"test/WEB-INF/classes/servletspkg"
5. The servlet in turn calls another jsp page J2.jsp located in "test"
folder. This call is failing. I am getting 404 file not found error.
Please suggest what I should do.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

Hi.
I need more detail here. When you say you can't deploy to solaris,
what
does
that mean? Do you get any errors/exceptions while deploying? If soplease
post the errors here. Or does it deploy ok but you can't access it?

Blackberry and PDA Java Applications

Is it possible to use JDeveloper to develop java applications for Blackberry and PDA devices?
A colleague of mine has recently started developing a prototype application using the IDE that is available from www.blackberry.com but it is a "bit clunky" therefore I would like to know if JDeveloper can be used to develop and deploy applications to these devices.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and suggestions, along with any additional resources that you could point me in the direction of that are related to this area.
Thanks in advance for your help with this matter
David

Hi Shay,
Thanks for your reply.
I've had a look at the link that you posted. It appears that JDeveloper will only allow you to create applications for:
Dell-Axim
Siemens Sx56
Hp-2220
that are running specific operating systems.
We are attempting to write applications for a variety of different blackberry devices, not palms.
Have you or anyone got any further information/ideas?
Thanks
David

Slow and laggy Java Applications in Yosemite

I use Phpstorm IDE in my work, and after installing Yosemite and needed Java library (Java for OS X 2014-001) I've noticed that Phpstorm started to work very slow, scrolling is very laggy and with noticeable delay, even some weird rendering errors. I don't know what they have done to JAVA on Yosemite, but it's impossible to use Java based applications now.
I've restored from Time Machine back to Mavericks.
PS. Yosemite design *****, everything seems to be washed out, no contrast at all. Noticed that my eyes getting tired very fast with Yosemite design.

JIT and rerunning java applications

When running a Java application in windows, if you re-run the application multiple times does the JIT compiler ever store data between executions to speed up further executions? Or is the JIT only doing its work during a single process run?
Thanks

The current Windows VM JIT does not store any info between runs of the VM.

Error stopping and undeploying java applications and View Log Messages link

I was redirecting to this forum by instant chat JCS Support.
Have a few issues with my JCS account:
1) I am getting the following error when clicking View Log Messages hyperlink - Failed to get messages for service - java.
2) Have 2 applications: Branding and Connectivity which I tried to stop or undeploy and getting errors for both.
Could you help to resolve the both issues?

Sorry, it was unfortunate that C2C could not help you. We had an issue last week with our console. Its now fixed, and you should not see this issue anymore. If you do continue to see an issue, post here and I will investigate.

IFS1.1 and Other Java Applications

We have a swiftly growing set of Java web-based applications
that we use for project execution. We also want to use the IFS
and incorporate the strengths of both into the user experience.
The question:
When we have a document in our custom app system and want to
then pass it to IFS for storage and retrieval (and set all of
the folder, category and attribute values, etc.), how do we
interface with the IFS system?
I assume there must be some way to pass the document to IFS and
set all of that information.
Can anyone help??

Best way to package and run java in exe

I've made a java program (using swing) and I want people to use it, obviously not every one will compile it so what is the best way to turn my code into a .exe for example? so that anyone can run it

I've used JSmooth to make exe file from jar file, and it worked good. It was so along ago though I can't recall how to use it anymore.
Here's an example how to make a jar file from command line

There are plenty of others that can be found by using the search.

i want to know how CLI is done in java.
i am going thru this link http://www.codezoo.com/pub/component/5574
not able to get anything.
please please help me

There are two steps -
1. Import the classes you need from the package(s) using the Java import statement in your classes that need access to them.
2. include the 3rd part code (one or more .jar files and/or root directories holding the code's package tree and .class files) to your javac and java class path and optionaly to the class path found in your .jar's manifest file.
