Putting my java application on cd
Hi,
im quite new to this. Me and my group have developed a software using java, and I want to be able to put my application on the cd so that if i were to give to some one, he would take the cd, and install the program on his computer like any other software. Is this achievable and if so, what kind of program should I use and do i need anything else eg compressing the files on the cd or so?
From what I understand I need to use an Autorun program to do this, however we need an execution file, how would be able to make my java application packed up and put it as an execution file so that the autorun program could use that execution file to install the program ?? any ideas
I have no idea neither does my group, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You have to package it using for instance InstallAnywhere / Wize Package Studio or InstallShield. Hope this helps.

Hello,
I have a simple standalone java application, i would like to present it as a website i.e. I want my application in a website.
I have done some web designing a few years ago, but I havent embed java in a web page. What are different ways of doing this? what do developers normally use to put their java application on to a website?
I am a beginner to this so I will need something very simple.
ThanksThe only way to embed Java in a website is to write an applet. This whole "put your app on a website" thing is a bit of an oddity - what do you mean, exactly? I can't remember ever writing an app, and then deciding to "put it on a website".

Is it possible to put the java classes of an application and run?
Hi All,
Please excuse me if this question seems meaningless / laughable.
We get java class files by compiling the source code with java compiler. To run the application, classpath can be set to the folder where the class files are stored and then run the main class.
Now the question is, is it possible to read the class files to RAM and then run the application. I highly appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
ChinnaswamyYou could
1.) copy the class files to a ramdisk
2.) write another class loader that deletes the class files after loading >them from ram
but all of this is probably not necessary.
What exactly would you like to achieve by doing this? Thanks, JoachimSauer.
The idea I have in mind is to first read and store the java class files in C/C++ code and then while running the C/C++ code, read & put the java classes into RAM and run the java application.
This way the decompilation problem can be alleviated for valuable java applications. ( I am not sure, this will work)
Another reason could be speed improvement. Classes in RAM is expected to make the application to run faster than when class files are in hadr disk
With regards

How to let users run your Java application
Hello,
I'm writing an application using JBuilder7 and it's wonderful designer: so far it is composed by only 2 class and imports java.awt.* and javax.swing.* (SDK 1.4)
Now, I've yet to finish it but I was wondering: "how will users be able to use it?"
I don't want them to install 30+ Mb of SDK so I've looked into the forums and elsewhere and come up with several answers:
1) Let them install JRE: but it's 10+ Mb and they would need to download it separately from my program.
2) Let them use somehow their browser's JVM..(should I turn my application into applet for this? I guess so)
3) Make an .exe: I know there are many programs to make .exe from java but they would make a one-platform-based file.
Also there were many hints about using .jar files to get things easier.
Is there a 4th option in which users have to download only a few mbs to use the application?
And about .jar, how should I use it?
Thank you very much for all your help :)Simply put - the users must download or be supplied the JRE. This must be installed before they can execute your java application.
As to distributing the application itself - You can jar (Java Archive) your classes into a single file.
You could as has been suggested create an EXE, but these generally are very large and tend to severely restrict the range of java technologies able to be used (EG Serialization, RMI, Reflection, class loading, ...)
Java is not intended for little tools that get installed separately - It is intended for larger applications or small applets in which case the download of the JRE is a minor concern.
Note that applets targeting Java 1.1.7 functionality work fine with most old browsers inbuilt JVMs - Your customers browser may not however have an inbuilt JVM and the user will still need to download the JRE to execute a SWING based applets.

Java Application [Java Bundler]: how I can use an image? Which path?
Hi,
how I can use an image in my Java Application when I create the jar bundle with Jar Bundler? Which is the path of the file? I don't know if I got it across...By image, do you mean an icon for your program?
If so, then you need to create the image you want using any graphical drawing program, then use a utility such as Img2icns to put the image into the correct format (.icns). Once you have this, you can drag it into Jar Bundler and IIRC it just works.

Java application with classes to Applet?
Hello,
First, I'm a Java junior, but I can make efforts to analyse and understand code.
I saw an interesting open-source multiplayer poker java application: [JiBi's Hold'Em|http://sourceforge.net/projects/jibisholdem/]
I would like to try to add it as an Applet on my server, but I have some questions.
1- Do you think it is possible to make it fully works as an Applet (eg: through a proxy), as it seems to use a specific protocol and many classes?
2- I tried the idea of GumB: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=390846&start=13&tstart=0

How can I run a java-application on starting of Windows 2000
How can I run a java-application without any user on starting of Windows 2000?
For example, if the computer is restarted and nobody enter into it yet, my java-application should run anyway.
How can I do that?Hi, you have to put it in a Windows service.
To do this you have a program, Srvany.exe that allow to insert a .exe or .bat program in a Windows service.
For example, i develop a program, TomcatGuardian and i put it in a service because i need to run it in a server without Administrator logged in.

Returning an array type from a local method in Web Dynpro Java application
Hi,
In my project, we have a requirement to display 18 rolling months along with the year, starting from current month.
How I am going to approach is that I will get the system date and get the current month and send the month and year value to a local method which will return 18 rolling months along with the year.
But, when I tried to create a new method there is no option to return an array type. It was greyed out.
So, we can not return an array type from a method from Web Dynpro for Java application?
If so, what is the alternative and how am I going to achieve it?
I will appreciate your help!
Regards
RamHI
You can create new methods in
//@@begin others
private ArrayList MyMethod(){
// ** Put your code here
return new ArrayList();
//@@end
Other option are create a context node with cardinality 0...n with one or more attributes, and in your method create the needed registers into this node. To read this values, you only need to read your context node.
Best regards

Running a Java application from web browser
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, and it probably isn't, but I don't really know what else to do at the moment.
I have a problem. I've written all these nice and pretty Java applications that do all this complicated junk that makes me proud. However...I have no idea how to actually run those applications.
I've looked at guides on Java applets, Java Web Start, Java Server Pages, etc, and I still am not sure. JSP looked like the best option, until I figured out I can't use it with my web server. So, I've pretty much hit a wall here.
If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be very appreciative. All I want is for a certain application to run when a user clicks a button on a simple HTML page. That's all I want...yet it seems so hard.
Is there a simple way to do this, or do I need to use JWS or something and configure all these JARs and JNLP and classpaths and everything under the sun (no pun intended)?
Again, I apologize if there is a better forum for this; I am just very confused right now and feel like I've hit a brick wall. If anyone can give me any advice, or point me in a good (easy) direction, I would truly be grateful.If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be
very appreciative. All I want is for a certain
application to run when a user clicks a button on a
simple HTML page. That's all I want...yet it seems so
hard. There's a lot of hidden details that make it so hard. What computer will run the application when the button is clicked? If the application will run on the client computer (within the web browser) there has to be a mechanism for allowing arbitrary code to be downloaded, verified and executed on any number of different target platforms. This is the problem that Java Applets address. Mostly this is a security issue, since a simple HTML page being able to run arbitary code without user interaction or approval is going to cause the world to be overrun by computer virii. There's also the multi-platform issue, but in many cases that can be avoided by requiring the client to use a single platform (the MS approach).
If the application will run on the server, then the client code is much less difficult, as only a basic web browser is needed, and the server code is complicated, since it needs to keep track of multiple clients at the same time and process data in a request-response fashion.
From the end-user's point-of-view, it certainly is simple though. Press the button and voila!

Running a java application in command prompt
hi, I'm new to this forum.
I would like to know what exactly needs to be specified to run a java application in a normal DOS command prompt.
I know it is something like:
javaw -classpath .\class GUI.applicationGUI
where applicationGUI is the main class, right? What else do I need to do, since I have some other non-GUI classes that I need, inside the class folder ?
Thanks for your time.You need to import those classes. And you need to make packages.
In classes 1, 2 and 3 put:
package class;
In class 4 put;
package class.GUI;
Then you need to make the connection:
In classes 1,2 and 3 put:
import class.GUI.*;
In class 4 put:
import class.*;
Compile each directory separately while in the respective directory. javac *.java
Then go back to the directory above the directory "class" and run

Including External JARs for Java Application in OC4J
Hi Experts,
Here is my requirement.
I have developed my Java application using Tomcat Server & Eclipse. In my application I have used some External JARs & imported the classes in my JSP.
Now that I'm using OC4J Server instead of Tomcat I'v no clue as to where I have copy these External JARs for my application to work.
I have installed OBIEE-Client which includes OC4J server. The path where I have placed my application is as below
*"C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app"*
If I run my application the server does not import the classes in the JSP which we include using Import statement using JSP tags (*ex* - <%@ page import = "org.apache.commons.fileupload.*"%>).
This is the location which I found, where I need to put my Java-J2EE application. This OC4J_BI comes with OBIEE.
Kindly help me out on where to place these External JARs exact location in OC4J.
Also let me know if I have to alter any configuration/xml file (if so pls specify the file name & its location).
Thanks in advance,
VenkyYou can either include the external libraries in the application, by placing them into WEB-INF/lib, or you can import them into the server as "shared libraries", normally you'd use the "enterprise manager" application to do this. Having loaded a shared library you then add it to the classpath when you're deploying the application.
