Problem in loading applet from non executable jar file

hello ,
I am new to jar concept plz help.. I am trying to call an applet from another applet through frame it is working fine but its download time is much more. now i want to store all my images , sound files and class files of other applets in a jar file and want to access these inner applets from this jar file so that it will make only one http connection with the server for this jar file only and can reduce the download time of applet.
Can anyone can give me suggestion plz..
Thanx

You have to download what you have to download. You
probably can't easily share images between 2 separate
Jar files. Unless you can expose them through the
other applet via a method that can be known once you
have the reference to the other applet.Thanx but i think i have to elaborate the problem :
my project structure is just like this ::
on the top is ::
Applet A---> from this applet i am callling Applet B & Applet C in frame
and communication is established between these 3 applets successfully .
now i have made a single non executable jar file which contains images , sound and class files of these applets .
so i am referencing images and sound files in applets through this jar.
but i wanted to load Applet B & C through this jar file only.
How can i do this ??
Thanx .. I hope now the problem is clear

Problems with loading Ressources out of a jar file

Hi Folks !
My current job for my university is to make some Java programms runnable as a WebStart Application. With most of the programms this was no problem. But i have a problem with one.
The gui of the program loads some icons out of the jar file with the following code:
try {
      openIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/open.png"));
      generateIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/generate.png"));
      editIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/edit.png"));
      propertiesIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/properties.png"));
      alphabetIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/alphabet.png"));
      cutIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/cut.png"));
      saveIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/save.png"));
      helpIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/help.png"));
      aboutIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/about.png"));
      exitIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/exit.png"));
      startIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/start.png"));
      stopIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/stop.png"));
      preferencesIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/preferences.png"));
      okIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/ok.png"));
      noIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/no.png"));
      clearIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/clear.png"));
      plusIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/plus.png"));
      minusIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/minus.png"));
      overlapIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/overlap.png"));
      canselIcon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("guissstester/icons/cansel.png"));
    catch(NullPointerException e){
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame,
          "There was an error while loading icon files. Probably the needed icon files are not present.",
          "Missing icon files!", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    }When i start the program as a normal jar with
java -jar ssstester.jarAll Icons are loaded normaly. But when i start it as a WebStart Application i get the catch (NullPointerException e) error message "There was an error while loading icon files. Probably the needed icon files are not present. Missing icon files!".
So where is the problem ? Don't know if it is important, but the Application gets full rights in the jnlp File

Can't Execute JAR file deployed from JDev 903

Hi Everyone:
I took the Oracle beginning Java class, and got a copy of JDeveloper 9, and started in on a project. The task was to create a small module that will allow users with no direct SQL access to change their Oracle passwords. The good news is that it runs great from within JDev; it catches exceptions cleanly, it handles multiple databases with no problems. The bad news is that I cannot get it to run from a batch file or command line (client is Windows). I have run 'setvars', I have copied the CLASSPATH from the run window in JDev, all to no avail.
I am trying to deploy the app as an executable jar file. It's not meant to be an applet, because of the security implications.
I would gladly RTFM, but the FM's that I have gloss over the deployment step in Jdev. I figure it's something obvious, but I just cannot figure it out.
Any suggestions? Help a newbie...
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I suggest you take a look at the log window of JDev, when you've successfully run your project.
If the log window is not displayed, go to View | Log.
Cut the command line, invoking javaw.exe, and paste it into your favorite editor.
Change javaw.exe into java.exe, save your file as a bat file, go in a DOS console, and run the bat file.
Let me know if it fixes your problem.
Thanks,
- Olivier

[b]Simple Deploy problem- making an Executable JAR File ...PLEASE HELP [/b]

Hi all,
I Trying to deploy a simple J2SE app by making an Executable JAR File, however I don'r understand how to add a valid value to the Main Class field.
I followed the following description within Jdev, after creating a Deployment Profile:
Deploying an Executable JAR File
You can make your simple archive or J2EE Client Module into an executable JAR file that you can launch with the java command.
To deploy an executable JAR file:
1) Select and right-click the simple archive or client icon in the Navigator to display the context menu.
2) Choose Properties.
3) Click JAR Options in the tree.
4) Select Include Manifest File (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF).
5) In the Main Class field, enter the fully qualified name of the application class that is to be invoked.
7) Click OK.
8) Launch the executable JAR file from the command line:
java -jar myapp.jar
where myapp represents your JAR file name.
Like I said it's in 5) I'm doing something worng
My deploy-file (PlotPrint.deploy) looks the following:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>

It's the same problem in all three exceptions (the exactly the same code), however I was a bit to quick this is the line (the line before I process the xml doc :-)

responseData = new Vector();
responseData = test_NNE35_SOAP.getXSDdoc();
Element elements = ( (org.w3c.dom.Element)responseData.elementAt(0) ); (line 42)
Please help I don't understad why I receive this exception, since I included the xmlparserv2.jar file, and don't even have a workaround :-(

Problem while loading data from ODS to infoobject

Hi guys,
I am facing problem while loading data from <b>ODS to infoobject</b>.
If I load data via PSA it works fine but
if I load data without PSA its giving error as Duplicate records.
Do u have any idea why it is so.
Thanks in advance
savio

Hi,
when you load the data via the PSA, what did you select? Serial or Paralel?
If you select serial most likely you don't have duplicates within the same datapackage and your load can go through.
Loading directly in the IObj will happen thefore if you have the same key in two different packages, the "duplicate records" will be raised; you can perhaps flag your IPack with the option "ignore duplicate records" as suggested...
hope this helps...

Problem on loading applet netscape4.73 in macos9 very urgent pls help me

Hello,
Problems on loading applet in Netscape4.73(jre1.1.5) AppleMac OS-9.
when i try to load applet of size ~ 200kb in Netscape 4.73 AppleMac os9, then browser abruptly closing with the AppleMac os error message :- the Applicarion " Netscape Communicator " has unexpectedly quit because an error of type 2 occured. And then asking for system restart.
Since i am new to the AppleMac environment i cant adjust the settings please help me to overcome the problem. Its Very urgent and i am in great hurry pls.
thanks in advance.
Rao. V.N.

Hi Rao,
I'm not a mac-os specialist (even I had some business with mac !!), and it is very difficult speaking in blind, but I have severals questions that may help you.
- Did you try you applet in other AppleMac plateform ?
- Does your applet work fine in other browser/plateform ?
- Does a small applet work fine on this plateform with this browser ?
- Does you applet contains instructions like System.exit, System.* or try to access (read or write) to local files ?
Otherelse it is possible you have problem with your jre config, try to configure your plugin with command like : -Xmx64m -Xms16m
(These commands tell the plugin to use at least 16 Mo memory and 64 Mo for the maximum see : http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc/)
Hope that will help you

Newbie's problem with executable jar file

hello
i create an executable jar file and it seems ok except it fails to locate all of my image files.
when i use
java -jar myproject.jar
it fails to display included pictures and files.
however, when i extract this jar file and run, it works fine (displays everything).
do i need to do add some informations about these included file's information into Manifest file?
thank you

thank you for the reply.
i have searched through java, and find "class javax.commerce.cassette.JARCassetteLoader". is this one you referred? i have used file related examples from the java-swing samples.
//post - return the file path
protected static ImageIcon getImageIcon(String path)
java.net.URL imgURL = TestDialog.class.getResource(path);
if (imgURL != null)
return new ImageIcon(imgURL, description);
else
System.out.println("Couldn't find file: " + path);
return null;
then i just use
ImageIcon icon = getImageIcon("images"+File.separator+"simple.gif"); // images\simple.gif
thank you

Executing .jar files from another .jar file.

How would I run one .jar file from another .jar file. and is there anyway to call specific class arguments? Because I have one .jar file that reads a specified file and returns its contents.
So how would I execute it and specify its arguments and how would I make it return something to the executing jar file?

Because I have one .jar file that reads
a specified file and returns its contents. Presumably you have a class that does that, and you have that class stored in a jar. And you want to know how to... um... do something with that class. I say "um..." because normally you don't execute a class, either, you either call its static methods or you create an instance of the class and call its instance methods.
If you have been writing a whole lot of little classes each of which just has a static main method, then stop doing that. Write real Java classes instead. The tutorial is here:

NoClassDefFoundError when loading Applets from IIS5.0

Hi
I am having trouble loading applets from IIS 5.0. Here is my html code
<applet code="Appli/Loader.class" width="100%" height="100%">
</applet>
All my clases and packages reside in the same directory from where this html is loaded.
The trouble is that it behaves erratically. At times the Applet works fine and at times, the browser cannot locate some class.
The funny part is this behaviour is not consistent. Some times the browser is able to load all the classes and the applet function very well.
Any suggestion/advice/tip will be great help
Thanks

Add the codebase parameter and see if it works.
<applet code="Appli/Loader.class" codebase="DIRECTORY_WHERE_YOUR_CODE_RESIDES" width="100%" height="100%">
</applet>

Error trying to run an executable Jar file

Hi,
I know a million people have asked this before. In the past 5 hours I have waded thru a dozen questions-answers-FAQs that were no help. So if anyone is willing to help a stupid person her is my problem:
I developed a java program using the eclipse ide and it runs fine from within that ide.
I packaged it into a Jar file, created a manifest file per the instructions.
But when I double click on the jar file I get the following error from the Java Virtual Machine Loader;
"Could not find main class. Program will exit."
My Manifest file has the following text:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: swt.jar
Main-Class: .graphicalUserInterface.AppStandAlone
<blank line>
the class AppStandAlone has the method "public static void main(String[] args) "
it is in a package called "graphicalUserInterface".
Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Another 3 hours spent trying to run this java application in a Jar file.
I identified that I did not have all class paths specified. So I tried to enter them in the "Class-Path:" line of the manifest file. But, according to the java tutorial, the syntax in a manifest file for classpaths is a space SEPARATING each path name. I have a space IN the path name and java is not understanding the paths correctly. For instance, I have a classpath c:\Progran Files\Java\etc... and java interprets this to be a classpath c:\Progran with Files\Java\etc as the program I want to run.
I tried enclosing the paths in double quotes. Didn't work
I tried enclosing the paths in single quotes. Didn't work
I tried using a semicolon as a separator with double quotes. Didn't work
I tried using a semicolon as a separator with single quotes. Didn't work
I tried using a semicolon as a separator with no quotes. Didn't work
I removed the "Class-Path:" line from the manifest and tried adding -cp param to the java command. Example:
java -cp %classpath% -jar myapp.jar
I tried all the variations above in the -cp param. None of them worked.
The only thing that works is if I move executable jar file to the same directory as the required libraries. Then I specify a "Class-Path:" line with no spaces in the path names. Obviously this is not a permanent solution.
If anyone else has the patience to help me I would really appreciate it.

Unable to execute JAR files

I am unable to execute jar files and applets. Also, the Java Web Start and the Java Plugin Control Panel will not load. I have unloaded the JRE and installed other versions. To date I have loaded and unloaded the following:
1.4.1
1.4.2_01, _02, _04
1.4.2_04 SDK
But no change in the outcome.
The javaw application starts but does not load the jar file.
The applets and jar files run fine on other computers with any of those JRE/SDK's installed.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Command line
To create a JAR file >jar cvf filename.jar filename.class(s)

Prbolem in executing jar file

Hi

Well, normally if your Jar file has a manifest file with the Main-class defined, you wouldn't need to use the -cp switch, in that case
java -jar Sample.jarwould be enough. In fact the -cp flag is ignored when invoking an executable jar; the classpath MUST come from the manifest.This could be a 'cultural difference' in understanding, but it would be more accurate to say the -cp option is ignored if the -jar option is specified. This would mean that the -cp flag is not ignored in this command.
java -cp Sample.jar SampleAnd while I am here, a question for the OP that I am not clear on. The manifest.txt used, does it end with one entirely blank line? (Note that copy/pasting the manifest.txt here will not prove anything, since the forum software will chew up the blank line even if code delimiters are used.) The symptoms of the problem do sound like the JVM is detecting the manifest and successfully reading the main-class attribute, since the stacktrace specifically stated it failed to load Sample.

A few questions about executable Jar files

Hi,
I have to make an a tutorial system and was going to make it using applets embedded in webpages. This approach causes certain limitations so decided to make it using JPanels that open up as windows on the users computer.
I intend on compressing all the files (java, images, sound etc) within a Jar file and would like a few questions answering.
1. How would I make an executable Jar file that when clicked on will load the program on the users computer. Is there some software to do it for me or do I have to do it from the command prompt?
2. Is using a Jar file the best approach or is there a better way to get my java program to run on other peoples pc's
3. If I create an executable Jar file on windows xp, will it run on a Linux machine?
Cheers

1. How would I make an executable Jar file that when clicked on will load the program on the users computer. Is there some software to do it for me or do I have to do it from the command prompt?The SDK contains all the tools you need. Use the jar command. To make your jar executable, include a manifest file that references your main class.
2. Is using a Jar file the best approach or is there a better way to get my java program to run on other peoples pc'sA jar will work just fine.
3. If I create an executable Jar file on windows xp, will it run on a Linux machine?Yes.
