  • Where to put Jar file?

    Hello,
    We are running the J2EE installation of ColdFusion, and I'm
    wanting to find out, is there a place on the server where I can add
    replace Jar files without restarting the JRun service?
    Thanks.

    Yep, depending on your installation type (stand-alone or
    multi-instance)
    you can put jar files in the lib directory of the JRun server
    and
    they'll get picked up without a restart. In the
    multi-instance
    installation this directory is {JRunRoot}\servers\lib, so on
    a typical
    Windows box this would be C:\JRun4\servers\lib. For a
    standalone
    installation it would be C:\CFusionMX7\lib
    Hope that helps,

  • How can i put Jar Files in Java Runtime.?

    HI,
    how can i put jar files in JRE so that they are accessible every where.? is there some way.?
    Regards,
    AA

    Closest you could get to this I think is to explode all your jars into the same parent directory. Then if you put that directory on the classpath, you should be able to access all classes in all jar files

  • Where to put jar files reachable for ejb:s?

    Hello!
    I have a ejb that use some jar files.
    But I can not figure out where to put the jar files that I use from my ejb in Weblogic 8.1.3.
    Until now I have extracted all jar files and put them inside my ejb with my own class files. But this seems odd.
    So please help me out here.
    Best regrads
    Fredrik

    Dear,
    You might have downloaded either tar.gz or zip file. when you extract this file you will find a jar file and also some demos nad docs(api+help). place the poifs api jar file in 'WEB-INF\lib" folder and restart the server.
    In general any api jar files for web applications should be placed in WEB-INF\lib folder then only they are accesible. If you extracted the jar, then place entire package structure in WEB-INF\classes directory

  • Where to put jar file containing non ejb beans

              Hi everyone,
              i would appreciate a lot if someone could tell me where i could place my jar file
              which contains non ejb beans
              thanks
              

              Hi,
              I´n not sure what you mean. But if you mean a JAR containing utility classes for
              your EJBs or Servlets you should put it for EJBs into the META-INF/lib directory
              of your EJB JAR or for Servlets/Webapps into the WEB-INF/lib directory.
              So the JAR file will be automatically loaded from the right classloader and can
              be used.

  • JAR files deployed to EBS server a not loaded by server

    Dear All,
    We deployed JAR files to Apache(Jserver) of EBS server, we put jar files to $OA_JAVA and added content of jar file names into jserv.properties, then we re-started the Apache(Jserver), but the JAR files are not loaded by server, we checked the properties file and the path of JAR files are both OK, what may cause this kind of issue?
    Currently, we are working on the Accounts Payables interface, which need to call java scripts to upload the log file to Google drive, and we need to include some Google java files in the class path, so these java files are third party's, how to config these java files under Oracle?
    Thanks,
    Jackie

    Hello Mike,
    It customization jar file.
    And customer wants to load this jar file to EBS apache server, so that they can use it to do some development work?
    Now, they wants to know how to load it?
    Thanks,

  • DrClap, schapel, jschell whats better architecture jar files or class files

    What would be a better architecture for deployment. Jar files or class files. We were recently having a debate at work as to generate installation scripts that put jar files on the system where the app is being installed or to make the script generate class files at the desired location.
    It would be good to know as to what you ppl think and what are the pros and cons of both.
    Some claimed with class files it would be easier to put in patches later on and I kinda agree with that. However your thoughts would be appreciated.
    Come on DrClap, schapel, jschell, jsalonen....... I am a fan of yours already

    This, of course, is why topics shouldn't be addressed to individuals - they are likely to never see it. Today is the first time I have seen this, and that is due solely to a search that I was running.
    Why would you use one over the other?
    ----Distribution costs
    It takes more time to send a bunch of class files down the wire than a single jar file. However, it takes more time to send a jar than a single class file. So there is a delicate trade off in a web application where one is using java. If you send the jar every time it is modified the entire jar must be moved. Class files take less time, but all of them must be moved for a new person.
    So in this case if you have a fixed based of users (internal use), and a majority of the files do not change then class files are better. If the user base is transitory and large (external use) then a jar file is probably better.
    ----Usage:
    You can use reflection to dynamically add functionality to an application. If you use a jar file then the application must be restarted for the changes to take effect. If you use class files then the application does not have to be restarted. Obviously the second only works if you have some way to dynamically notify the application that new classes are available - like a database.
    This becomes very relevant if you do not want to restart the application and you do not have a distributed application base in place.
    Also the older classes, even if not used, are still loaded in the application unless it is restarted (presuming a class loader is not used.) Most of the time this does not make difference.
    Since in the above it is likely that there is not a large distribution problem, when the usage is a concern then the best strategy is as class files. They allow the most flexibility and there is unlikely to be any concern at all how it is packaged.
    -------Misc
    Speed. Someone suggested speed. Guessing I would say that the jar file is going to be faster. Once the Sun jvm gets the file it doesn't let go. And as pointed out opening files is rather costly. However, I doubt this is going to be a significant cost on any system. Startup costs, although sometimes annoying, are seldom significant in terms of application performance.
    Security. The is a certain level of security with a jar file. You have one jar file and distribute it to the help desk people. And one of them deletes it accidently. It is going to be a lot easier to figure that out than if they deleted one class file. Additionally it is probably easier to encrypt/decrypt a jar file (if you really must) than class files.
    Dynamic class loading. If you are storing classes in non-traditional places, like a database rather than files, then it is probably going to be easier if you do it as class files.
    Testing. It is easier to replace a class file in a testing environment to fix a bug than a jar file. Particularily if the make process for the jar file rebuilds everything.

  • Can Netbeans put a jar file In a jar file?

    I just went through the process of getting Eclipse to create a jar file that would execute from a command prompt using a plugin called fatjar :

    Details from other thread :http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5219638&tstart=0

    I am using a package from icaste.com It has a
    .dll file to put in the windows directory
    JCommSerial_3_0.jar file that contains all the classes
    I can compile and run a file in the IDE and it works fine
    The Jar file does not contain the classes so i get errors when running from command line.

    Why is everyone so obsessed with doing this? The gains are minimal and the problems numerousBecause we are new and don't understand how the java VM actually runs code and the error messages sent by the java machine are cryptic.
    My first attempt at using an external jar in a java program lead me to believe that all of the code for a java program would be in a jar file including external jar files, after all the JDK standard library has tons of jars in it so I assumed the external jar file would be linked (as most other programming compiler/linkers I have worked with in my top down programming life).
    I find out the answer is so simple that the external jar file could not be found by the VM running my jar file. Like I said, if the VM would have just gave me an error that it could not find a file on a specific directory i never would have perused the idea of jar in a jar (fatjar plugin for Eclipse for example)
    Really this is like getting into a race car and not knowing at what RPM to shift gears, sure you can press the pedal and make it go but if you don't understand how it works under the hood you are going to blow the engine if you keep it in first gear.
    I have read many posts on these errors, the reason is the error message is just not very descriptive of the original problem. If I try and open a database called xyz.dbf that has one field defined as lastname, in C for example, I would not give the error message "Lastname could not be found) when indeed the lastname could not be found but the reason it could not be found was because the database xyz.dbf could not be found. Further , adding to the error message that the system is looking for xyz.dbf on drive X- subdirectory -mydatabases would complete the error message and allow the user to fix the error. Just what is a non java programmer that is using my java program suppose to do with an Ecception Error in (main) bla bla bla... I know now I need to check for library files myself within my own java programs and give a better error message to the user before the java VM sends out it's cryptic message.

  • NOT WORKING: Putting a jar file requiring native library in bootclasspath

    Hi,
    I put my own jar file into the bootclasspath like this:
    java -Xbootclasspath/p:myboot.jar TestClass
    Some classes in the jar require a native library. For JVM 1.3 on Solaris, I put the native library in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/sparc and everything works just fine.
    However, when I try the same thing on JVM1.4, I got the following error when my class containing the native methods is called:
    Failed to load the native library: myboot_native
    java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no myboot_native in java.library.path
    I tried to put that native library in several different directories in jre/lib but still had no luck.
    Is there anybody know the solution? Does JVM1.4 allow me to put a custom jar file that requires a native library in the bootclasspath?
    Regards,
    Eman

    Well is your file in a directory included in the java.library.path environement variable. I use java on windows but I have to add the directory where my native library is to the path variable (not classpath) in order to avoid the error you get.

  • How to put Chinese character in jar file by java.util.jar.Manifest?

    Now I want to develop a simple package tool which can modify some property in manifest.mf of jar files,but the Manifest class's putValue method only can correctly save English character.why?
    And how can I put Chinese character?
    the code is:
    Attributes ab = mf.getMainAttributes();
    ab.putValue("agent-Name", agent);

    Attribute values can contain any character and it will be UTF-8 encoded when written to the manifest, according to Javadoc.
    What makes you think that this mechanism fails? What do you see instead of the Chinese character? And what tool/editor/program you use to see it? I did not try myself, but according to the Javadoc there should be no problem.

  • How to put java files in  *.jar

    I have 5 *.java files in 1 directory. I want to put those 5 classes in a *.jar file without using some special tool. How is the best way to do that.
    It is something with the command prompt?
    All help welcome.

    What is a 'special' tool?
    If you want to write your own jar app then feel free. You should probably need to do some research on zip files.
    If not then I suggest you use "jar" which will put anything into a jar file that you want.

  • Where do I put the .jar file for the database connection?

    I am trying to connect to an Oracle 11g database. I see under the coldfusion settings summary that the java version is 1.7.0_55. So I downloaded the ojdbc7.jar file from Abode.com. Now the question is where do I put it so that coldfusion can access it?
    Of course I need to set up the database connection (which I still don't have the connection string for), but I still need to know where to put the ojdbc.jar file.
    Thanks.

    But it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 3521 with no dedicated GPU, so it only has one fan. I was somehow able to get i8kmon to work in Ubuntu by putting this config in /etc/i8kmon, but can't get it to work in Arch. Putting it in /etc/i8kmon and /etc/default/i8kmon doesn't do anything.
