Running jre 1.4

I am very java illiterate so please bear with me... :-)
I am trying to run a java app for Oracle that required the java 2 runtime environment, my Suse version has 1.1.8.
Downloaded and installed the j2re-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.bin ok, but now how do I "run" the new java runtime edition? The app I'm running requires that I enter "java app_name x y", when I do this I get the error "can't find class app_name"
I obviously missed something here, can anyone help?
TIA

This error is saying that there is no "app_name.class" file where you're running the command. Make sure you're running the command from the right directory.

Mozilla requiring click to run jre 6 or 7 currently

https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/01/11/protecting-users-against-java-vulnerability/
"Mozilla is aware of a security vulnerability in the current version of Java (Java 7 Update 10) that is being actively exploited and affects any browser using the Java plugin."
"There is no patch currently available for this issue from Oracle. To protect Firefox users we have enabled Click To Play for recent versions of Java on all platforms (Java 7u9, 7u10, 6u37, 6u38). Firefox users with older versions of Java are already protected by existing plugin blocking or Click To Play defenses."
Well I don't see why they are requiring click to play with the jre 6 but they are. Thing is there are a lot of ways to
call IE such as via MS Office as discussed here:
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/625617
So next month will be the last month that jre 6 users will get free updates and then we have to get jre updates
from oracle support, right? Unfortunately the jre 7 is just not maturing properly. We need the jre 6 to continue!

Note that oracle has released the jre 7u11 to patch the version 7 problems:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
BTW I don't think the vendor took very long to fix this particular bug, it's just that there is a succession of them that has unfortunately greatly weakened the credibility of the 7 lineage. If only we could get some control over some aspects of this! Running forms as applets in browsers has too many points of failure. The browser can at any time suddenly decide to block or partly block launching applets, like mozilla click blocking 6u38 just because maybe the version 7 bug was more widespread as they said here:
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/01/11/protecting-users-against-java-vulnerability/
"Why are you blocking the jre 6u38? I thought only 7 was vulnerable to these problems."
"We are being extra cautious to ensure all users are protected in the event the scope of the vulnerability is larger than the initial reports have indicated. We are erring on the side of caution."
Most browsers now autoupdate on their own so there is no telling what they may decide to do at any time. Mozilla has consistently for months refused to recognize the jre 6 lineage as valid and tries to get the users to upgrade to 7 which doesn't work with our forms due to the vendor having changed the vendor name in the jre.
As you can see here Mozilla will not recognize 6u38 as a valid version of java and it has not even hit the end of life yet:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
After february 2013 I fear firefox will totally block the jre 6 even if we keep getting up updated via oracle support. I don't know any browser that will accept more than one jre plugin at a time so it's not possible to run jre 6 requiring applets and jre 7 requiring applets. One would wish the vendor was working with the browser providers and solving some of these problems!

Can't run JRE 1.2.2 applets once 1.4.1 installed

I have an applet developed with JDK 1.2.2 (uses 3rd-party jars) which was working perfectly with the 1.2.2 plug-in
that comes with the JDK.
The OBJECT tag specifies the dynamic versioning clsid clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93 (which is the
only possibility for 1.2.2?).
However, when users who have downloaded the 1.4.1 plug-in run the applet (quite apart from the fact that I have had
to solve a problem where plug-in 1.2.2 accepts PARAMs with initail _ but plug-in 1.4.1 does not!) they are
getting an ExceptionInInitializerError inside one of the 3rd-party libraries. I have reproduced this
error on my Windows XP PC (IE 6). The stack trace is as follows :
(this has been reproduced outside of the browser using JRE 1.4.1 because the 1.4.1 plug-in console won't display,
even after manually running the Console and setting the Show Console checkbox,
and the icon doesn't appear on the System menu, presumably all because I have JDK 1.2.2 + plug-in installed)

In my opinion, this has something to do with the way service providers are handled. The 3rd party jar requires
a Security.insertProviderAt () call. My suspicion is that there is some kind of conflict with the JCE stuff
that comes bundled with JRE 1.4.1 to handle RSA signed applets. I found a similar conflict with the 1.2.2 JRE
when I tried to jarsign the 3rd-party libraries - I was getting, at runtime, either some kind of infinite loop hanging or
a stack overflow due to recursive function calls.
The fact that I can run the applet as a main and that I get the exact same error running the app from the DOS
prompt would indicate that this is a JRE 1.4.1 problem (surely the JREs are supposed to be downwardly-
compatible??!!! - i.e. the JRE 1.4 should run apps compiled with JDK 1.2.2 without any problem). Yes, I have
run the app as a main with JRE 1.2.2 and all works fine.
However, I could get around this if I could force the 1.2.2 plug-in to run instead of the 1.4.1 plug-in (quite
how the users are going to be able to get the 1.2.2 plug-in if they have plug-in 1.4.1 installed
without being Java experts is a problem I will leave
till later when I try to figure out how to make my applet an RSA signed applet (which if the documentation is
correct are only available from 1.3 onwards, hence solving this 1.4.1 problem would be VERY nice)).
But the problem is that once the 1.4.1 plug-in is installed, it always takes precedence over lower versions.
It's not obvious from the documentation whether older plug-in versions get executed when static versioning
is used for the clsid in the OBJECT tag. I can't be bothered to download a 1.3 plug-in and try.
However, unless I am mistaken, there is not a static versioning clsid for plug-in 1.2.2 ?????
In summary, once users download a plug-in version greater than 1.2.2 (presumably by running another applet from some
other site that requires eg 1.4.1 - I guess Sun's aim is to make the Plug-In as prevalent as possible, hence
this is not a far-fetched scenario), it is no longer possible for my applet to be run by a 1.2.2 JRE !!!!!!!
Because the 1.4.1 JRE is not downwardly-compatible, it can't run my 1.2.2-developed applet and my deployed
application is broke.
Unless I am missing something somewhere (which is possible because I am getting fed up of solving problem after
problem with the Plug-In - eg the mess of setting the right codebase to get different plug-ins to be downloaded
automatically - the HTML converter doesn't always set up the codebase correctly), this seems like a nightmare
for applet developers - from one day to the next your applications will break because of Sun's plug-in upgrading.
Please tell me there is a way to force the 1.2.2 JRE/plug-in to execute instead of 1.4.1 and that there is a
way for the 1.2.2 plug-in to be downloaded automatically by users even when they have 1.4.1 already installed.

Are you using signtool? I had a problem where applets stopped working when I went from JRE 1.3.1_01a to 1.3.1_07. I updated the signtool from 1.1 to 1.3 and now my applets run.

How to run JRE from an external USB disk

Hi
I wanted to put up a tomcat servlet engine that could run from a USB harddisk without any previous installment on the host machine. The OS of the host machine would be windows 2000.
My first question would be; is that possible ?
I think that when i install JRE environment on some w2k machine som registry stuff is created. And my problem here would be, how to run the java without any registry updates and directly from the USB stick that i insert into the machine.
And my second would be; what should i install of java on the USB to make this work?
Grateful for any input on this, or any pointers.
Best regards
Abid

You would need the whole JRE on the media, and I would also assume the the full SDK/JDK as many servlet containers use the SDK's java compiler if you're doing JSPs.
You would then simply install your servlet container and your .war files. Now I believe that registry settings are not mandatory but one must ensure the PATH, JAVA_HOME, and CLASSPATH environment variables are set accordingly, thus a startup script (.bat/.cmd) would be necessary to create the OS environment, spawn the JRE and in turn invoke the servlet container.
I've never done this with tomcat, but I've done very similar things with Jetty FYI.

How can I know the version of the running jre in the oracle10 DB

Hi there,
I am sorry if this question sounds dull, but I need to know what jre version is running currently on my DB,
I guess there would be some command, some query!!!!
I am using oracle 10.2,
or if there is a way from some oracle tools, such as the toad
rgrds.

You marked prematurely as the answer is not correct. Well at least not based on your original inquiry. This I suspect is what you were actually looking for.

Running JRE 1.6.0 update 5 on a client computer with xMII 12.0

Upgrades to Java-based applications elsewhere in my company are forcing us to consider running xMII 12 (which we're in the process of upgrading to) with Java 1.6.0 update 5 on the client computers. Are you aware of any technical or support issues running v12.0 on this Java version?

You have probably already determined any issues with using the newer JRE. The only thing that I have run into is within the Workbench. When deleting a sequence in the middle of a transaction, the second popup message "delete the sequence children?" defaults to Yes instead of No like it was when using 1.4.2. Other than that, I never noticed any difference when using the later JRE.

Error in Installing Oracle 9i on redhat 7.2 -- jre was not found again!

I'm installing Oracle 9i on redhat 7.2. The machine I'm installing it on is an AMD k-6 500 mhz pc. While attempting to install Oracle 9i
I think I'm successful (well, maybe not) except for the fact that the oui reports the following error:
"configuration tool oracle net configuration assistant failed. jre was not found
in /home/ora1/jre/1.1.8/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/jre"
Now, I know about the i686/i586 scenario, and I have a 586 pc. I got the more common error message:
"jre was not found in /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/i586/green_threads" (also for ../lib/..)
and I set up symbolic links for that and re-ran the runInstaller. Everything I've tried so far has been unsuccessfull.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
BTW: What does it mean when the path has double dots (i.e. bin/../bin) in it?. That confuses me a bit.

I had a similar problem when running jre in linux.
Any help really appreciated.

JRE 6 freeze browsers and Java Control Panel Applet stops working!

Hello,
this is the second time I got this problem with Java JRE 6 ! First one was a month or two ago:
I have Java JRE 6 update 20 installed on a Windows 7 64bit ultimate. It was working...much time ago...then i found my browser (firefox, google chrome or IE8) was freezing when I open java application or test pages. I tried uninstalling it, cleaning the system with Revo Uninstaller, or CCleaner or JavaRA and reinstalling with no luck. The other problem is the same that user Mass8 had (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5372196&start=15&tstart=0)
...my java control panel applet is not working and give me this:
http://www.iouppo.com/lite/pics/df9b61008b5bf9de61a13d8bfa3ddad1.jpg
I tried disabling UAC, running JRE, starting Win7 in safe mode with network...but browser always freeze. It's not a true freeze, with CPU busy at 100% (cpu stays in idle) but it seems to wait for something. It's not a problem with video card driver on my machine, because I can start java control panel from command prompt...and without the noddraw switch, using this command:
javaw -Xbootclasspath/a:..\lib\deploy.jar -Duser.home="%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel
This was the description of my first time.....then I replaced my system with an Acronis image...and I used the system for sometimes....and Java was working until 3-4 days ago! So I did another image of the system with all things working.
Then this morning...I tried the java test page.....and surprise! It's not working anymore!
In these days I think I only disabled UAC and Account virtualization....maybe JAVA saves things there...and then when I disabled UAC (Windows7 deleted those folders and files) it can't find there anymore???? Who can help me?
I don't want to restore my image every month!
My system is 100% virus free and from the last image restoration I didn't visit suspicious sites and so on....I have antivirus and antispyware software...all is perfectly CLEAN. Any ideas or things to try?

I'm beginning to think it's something related to Hybernation after using JAVA....I'm using it very often...and if I use it...and I suspect Java is KO...i try control panel and it doesn't works....then I try with browser and it freeze (or keep waiting...and i can only force to close it)
THEN,
when I reboot my system I get this window
http://www.iouppo.com/lite/pics/09501eb799c165bb25ece8fd3261e41c.jpg
suggesting me to rename the folder C:\Program in C:\Program1 ...and if i don't rename it...java will never work...instead if I allow it...Windows will fix it!......This until...the next hybernation....:(....
try to replicate this...maybe I found where is the problem..

JRE, vista and IE7 problems

Java does not seem to run on IE7 except on microsoft's websites. The verify of installation on the Sun java website failed as well. I could not see any applet running. However, with other broswers such as firefox and opera, java worked perfectly. I updated my IE and JRE as well, but the problem was not solved.
I had already enabled the scripting under security, the plug ins in the
manage add-ons and under advance, java sun was enabled as well. My internet security settings is set to default.
I found out that the problem was caused by UAC. After disabling that troublesome device, java could be activated again. Is this a bug in java or in UAC?
Is there any other way besides disabling UAC or having IE7 protected mode : off?
Any solutions please?

Most common JRE version today?

I'm trying to develop an applet and I have trouble deciding on which version of the JRE to base it on.
I know of some machines still running JRE 1.4.2, perhaps due to enterprise IT policy. I was told the most common JRE I can assume to be the most widely deployed should be JRE 5.0 (1.5). And then JRE 6.0 the latest is already out since months ago.
Which option is the safest to ensure most users can run my applet successfully without having to upgrade/downgrade their JRE?
Thanks.

In my experience JRE1.4 is still quite in use.
On the other hand, Java 5 brings a lot of new and good stuff.
It's up to you to decide if you want/can live without the new stuff.

Jinitiator and JRE 6

Hi there,
I do have 2 java based application Finacle and MIS respectively which use to run JRE and Jinitiator. The version of JRE is 6 standard and Jinitiator is 1.3.1.17. My problem is when i use to open Finacle and MIS in same IE 7 windows tab it use to crash with error C++ run time error. But when i open Finacle in 1 IE 7 window and MIS in different IE 7 window it use to work.
I searched in the forum and found that Jinitiator is obsolete so should update to JRE 7. I already did that too but still when i browse MIS it automatically used to install Jinitiator 1.3.1.17
My oracle version is 9i for MIS application. Could any one please help me regarding the issue.

Applet not running with firefox

Hi,
When I try to open a local file with extension .xml containing an applet it does not show up in firefox (3.0.6) java 1.6.0_11. The same file renamed .html works.
I have this behaviour on windows (vista or XP)
I have been told that opera is working for both files on windows, and firefox is working on macintosh.
test files could be dowloaded at http://www.pimeca.com/test.zip
any help appreciated.

Does JMF require a particular a new jre version?

Hi to all the JMF funs.
I made a simple transmitting - receiving application with JMF211e.
It works with jre 1.4.2_03 but it seems not working with another Pc that runs jre 1.3.1. No errors, only the receiver program doesn't run completely.
is it possible the is caused by the older jre ?
Thank you (again).
Alessandro

thanks again and glad to hear of you again.
Your suggestions are very good but it'all ok with my PC. I ' ve got to analize better the differences making a debug in the two PC.
The processes seem to start correctly but for some reason
     * SessionListener.
    public synchronized void update(SessionEvent evt) {
     if (evt instanceof NewParticipantEvent) {
         Participant p = ((NewParticipantEvent)evt).getParticipant();
         System.err.println(" - A new participant had just joined: " + p.getCNAME());
    }is not executed. Simply i don't see any
System.err.println(" - A new participant had just joined: " + p.getCNAME()); I'll study a little more during the week-end

JRE 7u25 ignores Proxy and fails attempting OCSP Direct

We were running JRE 7u17 on Windows 7 with Firefox 17.0.8 without an issue. We upgraded to JRE 7u25 and now Java does not run at all. In reviewing the console logs we noticed that entries such as the following that seem to suggest that the JRE is not following the proxy configuration from IE:
network: Connecting http://ocsp.verisign.com/ with proxy=DIRECT
We hard coded the proxy in the Java control panel application, but that has not helped. We have also configured the advanced Java control panel settings so that certificate revocation checking is disabled. Nothing we seem to try appears to have any impact on this problem. We do not allow internal systems to directly connect to the internet, so if certificate revocation checking does not use the proxy, the certificate revocation list is not going to be accessible. This seems like a bug. We also want to stand up private networks from time to time. How can we put java on a none internet connected system if it is going to require certificate revocation checking from Verisign?
Are we missing a step in the configuration for 7u25? This doesn't appear to be working correctly.

It has been my experience that JRE does not respect any sort of method of forcing it to use a proxy in 1,7 for specific sites.
I can't find the article but the JRE will look at deployment.config before even looking at what the specific java control panel settings are.
Try setting the console to reload the config and then display what configuration it is actually using. That way you could at least tell where it is pulling it's settings from.
I had no luck unfortunately

Running jre 1.4
