Running java application without installing JRE

We try to run Java application without installing JRE, by copying java.exe (and other JRE files) together with our jar file. This does not work.
Can it be solved?

Can you elaborate on the steps to create a java
application without installing JRE.
Regards,
padmaPadma,
The solution is to deploy my JAR together with JRE files, without running standard JRE installation. This makes possible to simply ensure that my JAR will run with THIS SPECIFIC JRE. This is important from QA point of view. Also, installation of my application does not change configuration of JVMs on the computer.
The solved problem:
Standard JRE installation may change the default JRE for many Java applets and application on computer. Changing version JRE may lead to some programs misbehaviour (JRE backward compatibility does not always work and different Java versions not always live together well). Thus, some IT departments are very nervous about JRE version change.
Hope, this explains my problem and the solution.

How to run java application without having java environment in a machine

can i run java application without having java environment(JVM) in a machine.I mean i dont have installed j2se or jdk in my machine.And i have an j2ee application running on another host which is built in swings.I want to access that application in my machine
can any one help regarding my problem

If you only need to access the program from one machine and you are running a Unix-like operating system (e.g., Linux, Solaris), you can use the remote display capabilities of X11. In this case you have to choose the host where the app will be displayed when you start it:
$ DISPLAY=<hostname>:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
$ java ...
If you want to be able to display it on both machines at the same time, or if you are using windows, then try something like VNC (http;//www.realvnc.com). Or if you are running windows and your version supports it, you can use windows remote desktop.

Help! Run AIR Applications without Adobe AIR.

Hello, I wanted to ask that is there any way to run AIR applications without having Adobe AIR in the computer. It's really annoying when you have to give someone your application to use and then the person needs Adobe AIR to run it. Any suggestions?

Where to start...
AIR is a lot like Java in the sense that it requires a run-time engine to be installed. This engine has all "things" required to for the application to run. In a similar way, applications such as 3DMax or Word require that the operating system be present for them to run. Those programs are written using API calls that are present within the target operating system. Likewise, AIR and Java apps are written using API calls that are present within their run-time. To bring it full circle, AIR is an application written in C, that uses APIs for the target operating system. So, when you perform certain functions within AIR, it then knows how to execute needed operating system functions (as needed). AIR also provides a lot of higher level functionality and management that make your life as a programmer a lot simpler.
Looking at iOS or Android, we have the same thing happening. Some developers are writing apps using Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android) that are using APIs specific to those operating systems. This is the same as writing your app in C like 3DMax.

How do i run java application on IIS

Hi,
Can I run java application on IIS(Internet information Server)?
If yes, How do i do that?
My java application contains JSP,Servlets and EJB.
To run java application on IIS which plug in should i use.
Can anybody help me This is urgent...........
Thanx

You can try using Macromedia JRUN version 4. Any of the version will have an ISAPI filter which you can add to the IIS site of your JSP/Servlet.
The JRUN ISAPI filter will establish connection to the JRUN proxy listener on a port. This port is called proxy listener port. Basically once you install the ISAPI, it will have config file called jrun.ini
Check for the ProxyPort entry in jrun.ini (or something like this - sorry, I can't remember the exact entry). It should match to the proxy listener port where of the server where your JSP/Servlet is intalled.
Good luck !

Hi
Check this article on JGuru. It explains how to use Tomcat together with IIS.
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=776546
If you also need to use EJB's you probably also want to have a JBoss installed - check www.jboss.org

Can i use EJB components in it?Yes, you can use EJB components. IIS uses Tomcat as a plugin and Tomcats feeds IIS with HTML code. Tomcat performes all the JAVA work including EJB. This links shows you how to install it:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-iis-howto.html
Shoud be the same for version 4.1

Run java application on mainframes

i have a financial application which needs to run java application on mainframes. Any ideas how i may do it. where do i get the jvm for the various OS. !

Thank you all for the reply. I have noted regarding jvm for OS390. Trouble is we have > 30 banks where this application has to be installed and run and these are very old systems like nsk and ve. so this would mean we need to have the jvm for all the different OS running. i would collect more info on the various OS before deciding if it can be done in java.

Run External application without Exiting main application

Hi,
I am trying to implement a function that executes the external program from within my java application. I am using windows xp. I had googled for this and found some code but so far I am able to run the application in a condition if my main application exits. Instead I want to run the application without exiting my main application. How can I do that:
Code I am using is:
========================
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("external program");
System.exit(0);
catch (Exception err){
err.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
=========================
my problem is I cannot run the external program without the line "System.exit(0)". If I remove that line, the external program only starts after I exit my main java application. Is there a way to run the external application without leaving the main application?
By the way I am using the latest version of JDK 6 update 2 and Netbeans 5.5.1
Thanks

I tried and I tried and I couldn't make the same problem occur unless I specfically had a long task execute BEFORE calling the runtime command. See the code below:
I tried a bunch of things, including having a GUI run before the Runtime call, after the runtime call. Neither affected the movie from being played.
I tried with different versions of the runtime command, none of it made a problem.
I tried running the application with a long task that would keep the main thread busy for a while AFTER I launched mplayer - no problem.
The only thing that made the app work the way you describe was when I built the long task that keeps the main thread active for a while BEFORE I launched mplayer (which is the state of the code as I pasted it below).
So my guess is that you have a single threaded application and you add the call to mplayer at the very end of your program's execution - thus it doesn't get called until the last thing. My suggestions:
1) Move the call to the Start of your code, not the end
2) Move your other work to a new thread so that it can be kicked off without holding the main thread in check.

//                 count++;
//                 System.err.println(count);
            // any error???
            int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
            System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
        } catch (Throwable t)
            t.printStackTrace();
}I will restate myself:
"I was not able to repeat the problem, except as described, as long as I took the hints mentioned in the article I posted into account and actually put them into action."
Of course, as soon as I ignored those hints, I was able to reproduce the error described above quite easily in all the different tests I made... But I guess the OP implemented those fixes, right? He did say he read the article...

How to uninstall java plugin without removing JRE completely

how to uninstall java plugin without removing JRE completely.
Hope someonce can help, all the documentation ive seen till now shows how to uninstall the Java plugin by completely removing the JRE.
Also if you install JRE 1.4.1_01 and do not choose to install the browser plugin on the browers prompted ... does it not install the plugin?

In IE
Tools -> Internet Options -> Settings -> View Objects
Delete the ActiveX control for the Java Plugin
This removes the ActiveX control (plug-in) from the browser but doesn't delete the JRE.

Run swing applet without installed plug-in

Is any possible way to run swing applet without
installed java plug-in? Does exist way how to load
swing classes from server?It is impossible to run a swing applet without the plug-in.
There may be a solution : include the swing library in your applet,
so you don't need the plugin anymore (personnaly i prefer having
the plugin downloaded once and the use it as needed).
For the load from a server you will need to be more specific, but
don't forget : the applet don't run on the server, so it won't request
Swing classes from the server.
