Run Java App in a CD

Hi. I want to develop a java application that can be run from a CD... No installation required. The idea is to distribute an application that users will be able to use by just running the java app in a CD. Can this be done? Can this java app in CD run on windows, linux, and mac?
Please help... I am new to java and some sample codes or procedures/steps will be a big help.
Thanks!

No the dbf route doesn't have SQL (unless you're willing to pay for propitiatory database drivers), but you read it in row by row and then pull out the columns you want. You could create several dbf files on the CD which would be like different select statements. I only mention this because .dbf is probably easier than an embedded database. Take a look at the API. (I highly suggest going this route if possible it will simply development) .dbf files are just a spec, so they would work on linux.

If you feel you really need to be able to create select statements take a look at :

What is needed as a minimum to run Java apps?

Hello,
I'm running Windows 2000 Pro on a home computer and want to conserve disk space. There seem to be a lot of duplicate files in Java directories on my system. I only want to be able to run Java apps - no development or deployment. What is the minimum installation required to just run apps?
I currently have J2SE Runtime Environment installed.
Thanks in advance,
Kudzuken

I could get all technical and fancy on you, tell you about jre's that can run on palm pilots and such, but nevermind that stuff.
The answer is that the java 2 runtime environment is all you need
Be careful about moving and deleting files tho

How to run Java App in Jar file

I can run Java App jar-ed into 1 jar file with java -jar App.jar
But sometimes I need to jar only the app and bind the other classes from different place. So I tried to use:
java -classpath c:\utils.jar -jar App2.jar
where classes in App2.jar link to utils.jar. I just can't make it work. Any idea/help.
thanks

hi HasanOen
u need to edit the manifest file in yr JAR file u can do this by using the following cammand or by making the batch file but make sure all the files are in same folder.
first of all u need to make a text file like below
/////////// first file name: "THIS.txt" /////////
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: java // whatever here
Main-Class: PUT YOUR MAIN CLASS NAME HERE (like MAIN)
//////////////////// BATCH FILE "RUN.bat" //////////////
jar cmf This.txt App2.jar MANIFEST.mf com
com is the folder where your all the class file are.
now double click the run.bat file. this will edit yr manifest file.
hope this should work for u
Note : Make sure yr jar file, txt file, bat file, and yr classes folder is in the same folder(I mean at same level)
regards

Running Java app when java not installed

I need to run java apps on a server I don't control and the admin will not install java. :(
Tried a few things to run java without installation, but get error that a java registry item can not be found. "Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'" Might be that without control of the registry, there's no way to run the java engine, but curious if there's a way to get it to run... I'm gonna play around with it, but figured if someone out there knows it's not possible, they could save me time by letting me know.
Thanks!

Depends on what you want to run. To run an applet on the computer requires that the JRE be installed, as the applet needs the Java Plug-in and Registry keys that the JRE install includes. To run a Java program from the command line needs a copy of the JRE, but it does not need to be "installed" by the Java installer. Then the command "java ... classname" needs to include the full path to the java executable that the JRE contains.
There might be websites that allow you to run certain kinds of Java programs on the website. I don't know if they still wxist. I also doubt that they'll run applets.

Run Java App as a Windows Service

Hi,
Is there an easy way (without 3rd party software) to run a Java app as a service in windows?
Sorry if this isn't the right forum to post to...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Nope there isn't. And there also isn't a reason not to use 3rd party software as there is an excellent open source API to do this job: Java Service Wrapper.

Running jave apps in web browser

Hi,
I'm (very obviously) new to java.
Longer term I'm looking to develop a distributed application using java. I recently saw a java app that ran in a clients web browser. I assumed that the browser was using java applets, it wasn't. The web page I was looking at clearly had functionality on it that was well beyond that which could be produced by an html page.
I was told by the person showing me the web page that when the user hit the URL the system would download and install "jar" files if they weren't already installed and the application would run.
The page had on it a table (datagrid) which could be sorted by clicking on any of the table headings.
Being new to java I'm unsure what this technology is, if it is not an applet, and how it works. Is anyone out there able to give me a brief high level description of what particular part of the java technology this is (does it require J2SE or J2EE).
Many thanks...

1) The "grid" is a JTable component, which is available in applets, providing the plug-in/JRE is of a more recent (1.2+) vintage.
2) Applets are not HTML - they're little Java programs, which means they can use Swing, which is a much richer UI environment than any HTML page (including DHTML). See #1
3) Applets are embedded in HTML pages, so they kinda look like they're part of the page, just like using a TABLE tag.
4) Current JRE/plug-ins cache the applet JAR files, so it's easier to start next time you run across that page.
5) Web Start is another distribution option, wherein the JRE/plug-in is used to retrieve and update "fat" (stand-alone) applications via a web site, but the browser is not required to run the application. The only time the browser is involved is on the initial download of the application.
6) J2SE downloads include Web Start.
Methinks you'd be better off studying and understanding the Java technologies better before you decide you're going to use it...

Run Java app on Time

I've created a standalone Java app that must run at certain times in the day, can anyone recommend how the best way to do this is, its going to run on a windows box!!

i would suggest you get some scheduler to do this for you. windows comes with one of these (programs > accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks)

How do I run java app when user calls a number?

Hi all
Is it possible to run a java app everytime a user calls a number? It has to run before the call is placed. The app will do its job and then place the call using PlatformRequest().
Thanks

Hi,
I believe in general this is not possible.
J2ME was designed in such a way that J2ME apps don't have permission to interrupt the normal functions of the phone (making/receiving calls, sending/receiving SMS).

Run java app on N9

How do I run a java app [mobile banking app] on my N9 ?
Frankly , I truly regret buying N9. It doesn't have whatsapp, viber, java support,low single retention etc. I am trying to live with it till I can palm it off to my enemy.

It doesn't look very promising according to this link: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=4012

Run Java app as admininistrator

Hi,
how can I invoke the apple SecurityAgent to ask the user to authenticate? This one:
!http://www.bol.ucla.edu/software/sophos/img/install_osx3.png!
I have developed a java app that requires privileges to run. Right now I'm starting it from the command line using
sudo java -jar MyApp.jar
But how can I run it as administrator by doubleclicking on the JAR file?

Hi
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I think you need to invoke the JAAS infrastructure, but I've never done this myself and it sure looks complicated. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jaas/JAASRefGuide.html
Good luck (I think you're going to need it)

the app. is working greate under windows 2000, 98, ME.
does anyone know this problem and how to fix it?
Thanks Guy.

i "just" develope an application that connected to an exsiting servers and upload data to them.
the problem is that when i run this app. under windows XP, the screen ( the application created in "Form Base") become white, like the program is stuck.
there is no error, it's seems to be an invalidate problem, but i try to out invalidate everywhere but it is still doen't fix this problem.
the app. doesnot stuck, it is just looks like that!!!!!
the weird thing is when i run this app. under all other windows, it's working fine.
if anything is not clear, write back.

Running Java app on UNIX

Hi all, Any kind of help is much appreciated.
I am trying to run a Java program on Unix which also imports packages of a 3rd party vendor.
I run it from the directory where i have my MyProgram.java file stored and also provide the classpath for the .jar/.zip files of the 3rd party vendor (using -classpath option with javac)
Compiling is clean with no errors.
But, on running the java command: java MyProgram
It gives me java.lang.NoClassDefErrorFound for a class which came with the 3rd party vendor.
The class is present in the .jar file, which I provided in the -classpath option with javac. There are many other classes present in the same .jar file which are being used in the program but it just gives the error for this particular class.
-I also tried by saving that class in my current directory and compiled it with
javac <-classpath> MyProgram.java 3rdVendor.java
command and created its .class file in the current directory but then again using java command from the same directory gives the same error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Plzz....help
Thanx Shaan

here is the command i used
javac -classpath .:/home/top/MyName/dir1/jcommom-0.9.7/jcommon-0.9.7.jar:/home/top/MyName/dir1/jfreechart-0.9.21/jfreechart-0.9.21.jar DyanmicChart.java
COMPILATION IS WITH NO ERRORS
and then I run java from the same directory where i have DynamicChart.class built
java DynamicChart
error in class Main : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for org/jfree/data/time/RegularTimePeriod
RegularTimePeriod is present in jfreechart-0.9.21.jar and its .java file is located in the folder jfreechart-0.9.21/source/org/jfree/data/time/RegularTimePeriod.java
There are lot of other classes that I use from .jar files mentioned in the classpath but its just this one class. I also saved the RegularTimePeriod.java file in the pwd to built its .class in the current directory and compiled it using the above (javac) command with DynamicChart.java. AGAIN NO COMPILATION ERRORS...but the same error when i run: java DynamicChart

Can't Run Java Apps

I use Java run live stock market feeds which have always worked perfectly on 10.4.10. Just bought a new MacBook running 10.5.1 - I managed to get it working a couple of times but now will not work at all. I tried everything I can think of including fsck which found no faults and I even copied over my Java files from my PowerBook to the MacBook. So it seems that 10.5.1 does not work with Java J2SE 5.0. The application I run says I need Java 1.5 but I cannot seem to locate this anywhere to download and the previous versions in the J2SE 5.0 are 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 plugins. The site where I am logging into the live fees from does have link to a 1.5 plugin which I have downloaded several times but makes no difference, when I open the file it is all weird looking text which may be perfectly normal, not sure e.g.
MZê

It is run as a desktop app, and other runs with commands such as JOptionPane do function, only the println windows don't appear at all. So I think JRE is installed and working.
I did notice there was one command for input where I'd be able to enter it at the bottom of Netbeans.
Like just now I clicked build and run for the following code
import java.util.*;
public class FirstProgram
    public static void main(String[] args)
        System.out.println("Hello out there.");
        System.out.println("I will add two numbers for you.");
        System.out.println("Enter two whole numbers on a line:");
        int n1, n2;
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        n1=keyboard.nextInt();
        n2=keyboard.nextInt();
        System.out.println("The sum of those two numbers is");
        System.out.println(n1+n2)
}Resulting in a brief flash of "input" in the output window (which is below the coding window) and it dissapears. But this also occurs when I don't include system scanner code.
Using commands in cmd
java -jar "C:\Users\Alegis\Netb\MyApp\dist\MyApp.jar"
Does not yield desired results either. Nothing happens.

Can't run java apps with System.out.println on any builder.

Hello,
I'm currently using Vista RC2, which is the immediate problem.
Classes with System.out.println won't launch the console window. As I'm a student and practicing on these steps, I do have quite a problem on my hands. I click on run, build succesfull, nothing happens.
I have tried Netbeans and Jcreator, and gave up on trying different builds, as I reckon I'll have to find some other way to counter this; any way to get println messages working in vista?

How to change the SQL-Query in (Report in ReportViewer) by running Java App

Hello,
Ich have an App which generates dynamicly SQL-Queries. By pressing a button it should generate a report with this generated Query.
I´m using the ReportViewer.jar. Further is it possilbe to a extra parameters form app which are not in a DB?

There are a few ways that you can achieve this. If your SQL Queries have their filters modified (ie. WHERE clause) then this can be easily solved by adding report parameters to the Report filter. Search the in-product help for "Record Filter" and you should get a number of helpful resources returned.Additionally, you can pass in java.sql.ResultSet objects with a populated recordset of the data you want to show in the report. We don't currently provide any tools to assist the creation of the code stubs for thick-client applications (like we do for JSP pages) however you can download a collection of thick-client sample code from here:<a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip">http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip</a> As I mentioned, this sample contains a collection of code snippets. The one in particular you will be interested in is titled "JRCResultsetDatasource". Hopefully, this will provide you with a few options. Regards, Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager)
