Problem with Java and Firefox?

After recently updating my firefox, I noticed that Java no longer will run. Everything is up to date and I have cleared internet and Java cache.
But I put the disk image for my firefox update back on to my desktop and Java was running again.
Any ideas?
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.6

Are you using NoScript or another blocker?
But I put the disk image for my firefox update back on to my desktop and Java was running again.
What does this mean? Java runs from an uninstalled disk image, but it doesn't run from an installed version? Are you trying to run Firefox from a disk image in your applications folder?

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
and
defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
but that did not help,
Nanne

I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled

Discussion Forum Portlet - Problems with JAVA and UTF8?

Hi
I installed the Discussion Forum Portlet successfully. It also seems that almost everything works fine. There's only a problem if I have new posts that include special German characters (Umlaute) like ä, ö, ü or special French characters like é, è or ç. They are saved correctly in the table but if you view the post the characters are not displayed correctly.
Example
input: ça va?
result: Ã§a va?
I know that there are problems with Java and UTF8 Database. Is there a possibility to change this (bug)?
Regards
Mark

I have a problem with Java and an e-procurement system integrating

I use an e-procurement system at work and yesterday I could not get my parts list from the suppliers web site to display in our in-house eprocurment finance package.
There is not a problem with the finance package. There is not a problem with the suppliers web site. I have verified both of these by other colleagues being able to complete what I am trying to do.
The difference between my version of Firefox and my colleagues' is that I am on version 6.0.1 and they are on 6.0.
I have had problems with Java not displaying certain animations on the suppliers web site but, my colleague does not and I am suspicious that this is the problem. Can anyone verify this please and what can I do about it. My Java updates are up-to-date as of yesterday and are automatic.
Thanks.

I was quite amazed I never got a reply to this, in the past people here have been helpful. In any case I was finally able to enter this website on the exceptions list in the Java panel, and I believe it is okay now.

Problem with Java and Windows (Mainly Vista and UAC)

Hi all,
I am having a problem with a program that I've devoloped. The program itself is packaged as a jar and I plan to deploy it across multiple platforms eventually however right now i am only concerned about windows based systems. I have made an installer for a windows baised systems using NSIS to install the software files. I made the installer as I need several java packages to be installed so the program would work (JAI, J3D, JAI ImageIO) and I also require the program to have fileassociations on windows.
I know that this is not what java is about, however the majority of the users will be on windows baised systems so I've decided that OS specific installers is the best option.
During the process I have noticed that there are several key problem with java for this type of application!
The first issue that I have come across is getting file associations to work on java. As a .jar is not an excutable it is not possible to directly associate a filetype with it in java so to overcome this I currently run the program from a .bat files and also the program requires large memory so this also allows me to run the program with -xmx. The batch file that I use is :
<code>
cd PATH TO PROGRAM
start javaw -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmn100M -Xms500M -Xmx1000M -jar "PATH TO PROGRAM\program.jar" %1 -vram 134217728
pause;
</code>
Ok so all this appears to work fine and allows windows to have file associations and start the program and thats all works perfectly but this is a non-ideal solution. Has anyone got any advice on improving this?
The next problem that I have appears to be a problem with Vista and UAC (user access control). When a user installs the program and installs the program into the program files directory I found that the program did not work and kept saying that I did not have access to the files in the current directory. This is a problem as I read and write settings files during program execution.
On a Vista system UAC prevents file write operations into the Program Files directory unless the program has requested elevated status even if the user is a full administrator. The probem is that there appears to be no real way to achieve this under java that I'm aware of...
Has anyone else had this probem and has a suitable solution?
Any advice on these issues would realy be appricated.
Regards
Joey

Ok so i've kinda found a solution, its not ideal but its very good. I found this program called Elevate
A link to the site I got it was
http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/03/27/elevate-a-process-at-the-command-line-in-vista.aspx
This program allows you start java with a UAC dialog for high access using
Elevate java -jar myjar.jar
This then allows you to have full access using java... I guess it could be dangerous but it does the job.

Events problem with (Java and ActiveX)

Hi,
I use an ActiveX component with Java and i've got a problem with events.
Java classes were generated with Bridge2Java (IBM).
In order to manage events I added a listener in my application :
javaMyActiveX = new MyActiveX();
javaMyActiveX.add_DMyActiveXEventsListener(new _DMyActiveXEventsAdapter());
I also added a constructor in the _DMyActiveXEventsAdapter class and I fill the body of methods.
The ActiveX generates two types of events :
- The ones are directly generated by methods.
- The others are generated by a thread.
With MS Products (VB, Visual C++, Visual J++), I catch all events.
With java (jdk 1.4), I catch only events generated by methods.
Can anyone help me.

I'm not 100% sure, but the last time I used that bridge, it only worked if you ran your Java app within a Microsoft VM.

I've had this happen now and again. You can rebind the lease yourself with:
$ dhcpcd --rebind
You could also try increasing the timeout by adding
TimeoutDHCP=
to your netctl profile/s - see netctl.profile(5) as WonderWoofy suggests. Although I haven't tried the latter.

So here is what comes to pass.
Recall this started as a Lion Safari/5+ environment that SU took to version 6.
Two weeks ago I just updated Flash Player. Today I fire up Java Preferences and I am told that I need to download Java. Did so, intentionally hit the "factory reset" button and then installed the Flash Player from teh Adobe site. The most recent install suggests automatic update but I choose "ask first."
Restart Safari and we seem to be in order
Thanks

Problem with Java and Zip Files

Hello there everyone. I have a problem with trying to zip up directories with empty folders in them. They zip fine with my code, but according to winzip, the number of files in the archive is incorrect. It's supposed to have a total of 288 files in it, but when it's zipped up, it only says 284. I mention specifically the "empty directories" note because the zipping works fine without empty folders.
Below is the code for the zip method:
public static void zip(File[] list, File zipfile, File zipRoot)
     throws IOException {
      if (!zipfile.exists()) {
               zipfile.createNewFile();
          else if (!zipfile.isFile()) {
               throw new IOException("The zip file, " + zipfile.getAbsolutePath()
                         + " is not a file.");
          if (list.length == 0) {
              LOG.error("The list of files to zip up is empty.");
          for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
               if (!list.exists()) {
                    throw new IOException("The file or directory, " + list[i].getAbsolutePath()
                              + " does not exist.");
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(zipfile);
          ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
          for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
               if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                    LOG.debug(i + ": " + list[i].getName());
               String entryName = getRelativeName(list[i], zipRoot);
               if (list[i].isDirectory()){
                    if (list[i].listFiles().length == 0){
                         ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(entryName + "/");
                         zos.putNextEntry(entry);
               else {
                    ZipEntry ze = new ZipEntry(entryName);
                    zos.putNextEntry(ze);
                    byte[] buffer = new byte[8096];
                    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(list[i]);
                    int read = 0;
                    read = fis.read(buffer);
                    if (LOG.isDebugEnabled())
                    LOG.debug("\tFound " + read + " bytes.");
                    if (read == -1){
                         //empty file, but add it for preservation.
                         //zos.write(buffer,0,0);
                    while (read != -1) {
                         zos.write(buffer, 0, read);
                         read = fis.read(buffer);
                    fis.close();
                    zos.closeEntry();
          zos.close();
The files look like they're there, but I need the system to be able to determine the number correctly.
Here's the interesting thing: It zips the files, and then when I use the size() method for zip files in java, it says 284 files. But when I unzip, it says 288 again. It's like there's files missing when compressed, but when decompressed, they return. Note that the files are actually there. If I open the archive in a third party app such as Winzip AND Winrar AND IZarc, they all show 288 files. Any idea what would make the number of files appear incorrectly in a zip file when zipped by java with the code above? Thanks in advance.
- Chris

I figured out the problem. When zipping files in windows using winzip, it doesn't explicitly count folders as a "file/folder" as a file in itself. It will create the folders for files to go in, but the folder itself will not be 'counted' when you query the info of the file itself. You have more control of the zip file in java, and can count the folder as a file or not.

Problem with Java and Outlook

I am having a problem with the Java plug-in and Microsoft Outlook 2003. When I have Outlook running, going to certain websites (like cbs.sportsline.com/collegefootball) will crash my browser (IE). I get a message like this:
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : unknown exception code (0xe06d7363) occurred at PC=0x77E73887
Function=RaiseException+0x50
Library=C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll
There is much more to the error message which appears as a text file on my desktop. If I close Outlook and try to go to that same CBS site, it works just fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a solution?

In Window, the dlls are not private to one
application. They are logically shared. Not true in the sense that would affect this. DLL Text (code, read-only data in some cases) is shared. DLL Writable data is NOT shared between apps - each app gets its own copy of the data pages.
However, it's possible that when Outlook runs, it interacts with IE (which has deep tentacles into the system) in such a way that when Java calls into native IE code, it is affected as an innocent bystander.
Make sure you also install all the Office patches. If that doesn't help, try upgrading your Java VM to the latest version (you are using the Sun VM, right?).

Compability problem with Java and Python RSA algorithm implementation

I have client server application. Server is writtein in python, client in java. Client receives messages from server encrypted with RSA (http://stuvel.eu/rsa), and I'm unable to decrypt it. It seems that this is RSA algorithm compatibility problem. I'm using algorithm from java.security package, instatinating Cipher object like this: c = Cipher.getInstance("RSA"); . I noticed that this algorithm produces for input blocks of lengtrh <=117 ouput block of length 128. Server I guess uses the most triviall impelentation of RSA ( (1 byte is encrypted to 1 byte) So i want to make my java algorithm compatibile with this one which server uses. How to do that ? Do i have to instatinate Cipher object in different way ? Or use another library ?

azedor wrote:
First you said it was no good because it could only handle <= 117 byte inputs, now you say it is no good because it produces a 128-byte output. You're not making sense.First i said that this two RSA implementations are not compatibile, and first reason i noticed firstly is that Python imlementation for input of length N produces cryptogram of the same length. Not true. In general, the RSA encryption of any number of bytes less than the length of the modulus will produce a result of length near that of the modulus. When N is less than the length of the modulus, it is rare that N bytes of cleartext produces N bytes of ciphertext.
Java implementation for data block of length <=117 produces alwasy 128 bytes of output.Pretty much correct and very much desirable. This is primarily a function of the PKCS1 padding which is used to solve two basic problems. First, as I alluded to in my first response, it is the nature of the algorithm that leading zeros are not preserved and second when the cleartext is very small (a few bytes) the exponentiation does not roll over and it is easy to decrypt the result. Both these problems are addressed by PKCS1 padding.

After what sabre150 said i think of giving up idea of translating Python code to Java and considering to use another assymetric cryptography algorithms on both sides. Can you recommend me sth what should be compatibile with Python ?This seems to be at odds with your statement in reply #3 "Also have acces only to client code so i have to change sth in java." ! This statement is why I said "I suspect ... you have dug a deep hole".
In your position I would use the Python bindings for openssl. Once more, Google is your friend.

When I use Firefox and Hotmail at startup, Firefox freezes for about 1 minute, and then I can continue. First I though it was my computer but 2 other girls in my class have the same problem with Hotmail and Firefox. What can I do to change this?

When I start Firefox, about 15 seconds after I start it, my Firefox freezes for about 1 minute. I found out that it is my Hotmail that makes Firefox freeze.
First I thought it was my computer, but I have 2 other girls in my class that use Hotmail and Firefox and their computer also freezes for 1 full minute.
This is very annoying, what can I do to change this?

p.s. I am from the Netherlands, maybe that has something to do with it?

Problem with CS2 and firefox 3.6x

i have a strange problem arising from a combination of photoshop cs2 and firefox 3.6x browser in XP sp3
when photoshop is minimised to the taskbar and then firefox is minimised, the focus of firefox seems to be passed to photoshop unexpectedly, turning its button dark blue and making it very difficult to maximise photoshop (repeated clicking and swapping of apps sometimes frees it)
has anyone else every experienced anything like this with 3.6?
i have installed 3.5.10 atm which works with no problem at all and holds its own focus when minimised.
Steve

None of those ideas worked. I used the Disk Utility and it indicated that all permissions were OK. I cleared the caches and cookies on Safari and FireFox, and even re-installed FireFox and deleted all of the old files associated with it. Both browsers brought up the Apple support website using the IP address, but neither browser would allow me to log into Apple support to follow this thread. I turned off the Firewall thinking it was the problem. I am running the PC and iMac through a router, then a dsl modem. Could any of those items be the problem?
