Script Default Java for browsers

Hello all,
I would like to know if is it possible to script the enabling of "Default Java for browsers". http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000021500.xml
We have a large deployment of the JRE currently 1.6.0-05, we would like to run a script for all users to make sure that IE is enabled within the control panel for Java.
I have been unable to find a successful registry setting or file setting to enable this for all users. It appears that the setting is only enabled if done manually through the Java control panel.
Does anyone know how this can be scripted to enable for all users, we would like to do this on login through kix or group policy.
thanks for your help.

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Manage Add-Ons and scroll down to Sun Java Plug-In.

Websites that use java are not working. In the Java control panel, under advanced, default java for browsers "mozilla family" won't stay clicked

I've recently gotten a new Windows 8 computer. Ever since, I've tried accessing certain websites (like www.cnet.com) and can't get the java scripts to load like for the drop down menus. When I hover over them they don't do anything. Other computers I have that run Windows 7 are working just fine.
I've upgraded Firefox and Java to all of the newest versions but it's still not working. When I go to the Java control panel, under "Advanced" and under "Default Java for browsers", the check box next to "Mozilla family" won't stay checked. I'll check it, click "Apply" and "Ok" and then when I open it back up it's unchecked again.

Help - I cannot set the Default Java for Browsers

Hello:
I'm running Win 7, the Home Premium, 64 bit flavor. I have IE 8 and FF 3.5.8 installed. FF is the default browser. I've installed Java and when I go to the test page: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
I get a message which says: "Something is wrong. Java is not working."
HOWEVER, if I open a command prompt and type java -version, I get this:
C:\Users\dogzilla>java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)
So I went to the control panel app, the advanced tab, and expanded the node for Default Java for Browsers. I have 2 problems.
1. The checkbox for Microsoft Internet Explorer is greyed out; I cannot change any settings here at all.
2. I checked the checkbox for Mozilla Family. Then, when I click OK, I get an error message which states:
"Unable to change browser settings. Please check that Mozilla or Firefox or Netscape is properly installed on the system and/or that you have sufficient permissions to change system settings."
Since I'm writing this message to the forum using FF, I'm going to guess that I have the browser installed correctly. So that leaves me with a permissions problem -- which I don't doubt. I have no idea where to start looking though. Especially considering I can run the files in the bin directory from a command line without any problems.
Does anyone know how I can solve the two problems I described in this thread? Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
I tried running as admin and no luck. Still experiencing the same problems.
I've did some more reading (much more in fact for what this problem should be worth) and other forums mention that on 64 bit Windows systems, both the 32 bit and 64 bit JRE need to be installed.
When I was running Win XP, I could just download the SDK, create an environment variable, and I was good to go. Now, it looks like if I just install the SDK, I need the JRE plugin download for just the browsers -- what a ridiculous waste/duplication!
Thanks again for your help.

Can't set default java for Mozilla in java control panel

OK. It was fine before installation of SE 6u5. Now Sun java works ok in IE7 but not in Firefox 2.0.0.8. THe problem is obviously in the java control panel that sun java is set as default java for MS IE, but not Mozilla. Here is my question:
I used to be able to tick BOTH IE and Mozilla. But now, when I tick Mozilla, it accepts but after I click yes to close the control panel and open it again, the tick i just made disappears. (So, it means not accepted as a default java) I did make new installation of Firefox for other reasons. Could it be that something has been messed up by both installations. I have tried to remove the deployment.properties and install JRE 1.6.0_5 again while Firefox is already there, but in vein. Thre is another problem that may be related. I can't use the installer downloaded from the internet. I have to use the installer available in the Documents and Settings\administrator\application data\sun\java\jre1.6.0_05 to install jre1.6.0_5.
Environment: Windows XP pro SP2 with up-to-date Windows updates. Sun java installed: JRE 1.4.2_17, JRE1.6.0_5, and JDK 1.5.0_15.
I need help to know what can I do to make sun java woking with my Firefox again.... Another question: can i uninstall the JRE 1.4.2_17 since I have now JRE 1.6.0_5?
Thanks in anticipation.

You cannot set a default value for this attribute, because by default Identity Sync sets useraccountcontrol to 512.
You can find this default value in the configuration registry (under the ou=services tree on your configuration directory server) and change it to 514. Make sure you restart the Identity Sync services after you update the value.

Older java for specific applications only

I have 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 java installed on Snow Leopard. If I drag the 32 bit 1.5.0 (aka J2SE 5.0) version to the top of the preferences list for apps, then Fonality HUD works as well as it did before I upgraded to Snow Leopard. If I leave the 64 bit 1.6.0 (aka Java SE 6.0) at the top, it crashes almost immediately. (And the 32 bit 6.0 does not make it work.)
But I don't want to make the downrev version my default java for all applications!
I tried uncommenting the 1.5.0 line in the Info.plist for HUD, per the comments there, but that did not work.
How can I tell this application to use 1.5.0 instead of 1.6.0 without affecting any other java apps I might want to run?
TIA

Apparently it runs 1.5 if you install it, for example http://wiki.oneswarm.org/index.php/OSX_10.6_SnowLeopard, which actually references the very application that I'm trying to make work: HUD.
And it DOES work just fine, following those instructions. I just don't like the idea of running 1.5.0 as my default java for all my applications when most of them will run fine (better!) with the official version of java for Snow Leopard.
Isn't there a way to tell one application to use a specific version of java? Does JAVA_HOME still do this? I tried that and failed, but maybe I did not set it to the correct value - the java command in 1.5.0 or something else?

Set default startpage for all Browsers in LDAP

Hello,
is there a way to set a default startpage for all Browsers in a OSXServe Workgroup?

For all (different) browsers? No. Each tends to have its own specific scheme.
For specific browsers, such as [Safari, yes|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2164380].

Looking for input on korn shell scripts to java programs

I have a situation where there are several korn shell scripts and some manual processes using ms access to manipulate input files that will be used to pass to an applications command level commands for the purposes of updating the applications database. That being said, I am looking at creating the same as mentioned above in Java instead of ksh scripts. Mainly for the following reasons.
The vendor is going web based, using a Java enabled web server, so these korn shell scripts if converted to Java could be called from the web jsp pages, etc.
The other purpose is I see Java as a better tool for parsing the flat files and calling sql commands from the parsed data.
I admit I am more a Java programmer than a korn shell programmer.
What thoughts does this group have to using Java or should I polish my korn shell off a bit more?
Thanks in advance

Is a script available to set a default background for email messages?

I am new to the community, not to Mac though. Currently I am on a new MacBook Air, Lion installed.
I had a couple of minor issues about mail, the first I solved myself using automator, and succeding in sending an attachment file from finder. It went on working also after the upgrade from snow leopard to lion.
I could not find out how to set a specific default background for new email messages (e.g. a color, or a certain template); I do not want to do it everytime for each message. I tried automator, the workflows runs ok, tried to save it as service for mail and for finder but it did not catch; as application it works, but veeeery slow.
When I pull down the mail window, the Services line says "no services available".
Anyone who worked on this?
thanks

Hi ..
That's not possible as yet but you can provide feedback to Apple here.

How do you invoke the default browser for Unix/OSX

Does anyone know how to programmatically display the contents of a URL in the default browser for a Unix system? I found a javaworld article on doing this using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd). The article gives the cmd string for invoking the default browser in Windows, and for invoking the Netscape browser in Unix.
This can easily be extended to invoke any known browser executable in a known path on a Unix system; but I'd like to invoke the default browser without knowing what or where it is. I'm specifically targetting Mac/OSX, but any Unix solution is worth trying.
Is there a Unix command for launching the default browser to display the contents of a given URL? Or is there an alternative approach, rather than invoking Runtime.exec()?
-Mark

After extensive google searching, I came across a partial solution. This code detects the default browser on a Mac, and provides an elegant solution for trying standard browsers in turn for other Unix systems. I tested it on WIndows XP and Mac OSX 3.9, and it detected the default browser each time. A suped up version of this tool is available as a SourceForge project. You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/browserlaunch2/
Here's the simplified code:
// Bare Bones Browser Launch //
// Version 1.5 //
// December 10, 2005 //
// Supports: Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, Unix, Windows XP //
// Example Usage: //
// String url = "http://www.centerkey.com/"; //
// BareBonesBrowserLaunch.openURL(url); //
// Public Domain Software -- Free to Use as You Like //
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class BareBonesBrowserLaunch {
 private static final String errMsg = "Error attempting to launch web browser";
 public static void openURL(String url) {
 String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
 try {
 if (osName.startsWith("Mac OS")) {
 Class fileMgr = Class.forName("com.apple.eio.FileManager");
 Method openURL = fileMgr.getDeclaredMethod("openURL",
 new Class[] {String.class});
 openURL.invoke(null, new Object[] {url});
 else if (osName.startsWith("Windows"))
 Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + url);
 else { //assume Unix or Linux
 String[] browsers = {
 "firefox", "opera", "konqueror", "epiphany", "mozilla", "netscape" };
 String browser = null;
 for (int count = 0; count < browsers.length && browser == null; count++)
 if (Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
 new String[] {"which", browsers[count]}).waitFor() == 0)
 browser = browsers[count];
 if (browser == null)
 throw new Exception("Could not find web browser");
 else
 Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {browser, url});
 catch (Exception e) {

Hi,
you see that message: "The password must be at least 8 alphanumeric characters with at least one number or special character." ?
The password: The weblogic password you provide when prompted
must be at least: minimal condition for secure passwords enforced on WLS by default
at least 8 alphanumeric characters: no 7 but eight or more characters
with at least one number or special character: password should have a number in it or an "@" "-" or similar
E.g.
weblogic1
is one password option that would meet that requirement

No script engine supported for 'JScript' error in OBIEE 11G ibots

Infrastructure: 64 bit OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on 64 bit Red-Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6
We tried using *.java to export the delivery content of an 'Agent' and place it in a shared folder on Windows.
We are able to use the .java file directly in putty and it works fine in creating a folder and copying the file from source to target, but when we put the same script as part of the actions in the 'Agent' properties, its fails with the error "[nQSError: 66023] No script engine supported for 'JScript'". The e-mail is triggered and the attachment is delivered fine.
We tried the same with a *.js file. The error is the same. I found people using *.js scripts and they say it worked for them at Re: How to send the content of an agent (PDF Report) to local machine in 11g
But I am not sure what are the other settings that should be done. The error seems very basic and fundamental and has something to do with java interpreter or something.
Any help if you have implemented the same, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

That example in the link shows creating an action at the end of 'Agent'. I am not sure if that is what the user meant by 'create an action'. If the user meant to create an 'action', how does and where we call that action at the end of an 'Agent'?
I did try creating an action by updating the 'UserScript.js' file, but the moment i update the file with a custom function, the server doesnot recognise the UserScript.js file anymore and i cannot even use the default functions in UserScript.js file.

I need to know the standard default font for Firefox

I had a Dell 20 inch 2007fp monitor that I had to give up. I purchased an LG 22inch widescreen monitor.
My home page is the Drudge Report and with the new monitor the font is all messed up.
What is the standard default font for Firefox?

You can see the defaults in a screenshot in this KB article: [[Some text shows up bold after upgrade]] 
You can check the font setting in: Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced 
Default Font: Times New Roman (16)

Need to specify default filename for SaveAs

I am using the command app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); in the click event of a button. Is there anyway that I can specify a default filename for the user? I do want the user to get the Save As window and the ability to change the name if possible.
The form is generated by the RenderForm Java script, and the name being generated as a default for the SaveAs window is RenderForm.pdf
Thanks,
Velvet

Chris, I think you missed this one.
I think you want to change the name when calling app.SaveAs via javascript from the client not on the server. Since app.executeMenuItem("saveAs") will not take any parameters to suggest a file name. I think you will have to use doc.saveAs which will allow the name to be specified. This would require a trustedFunction which may or will not work unless you have known users. You will also need to prompt for the file name before making the call.
Here is some untested code to get you started...
You will need to create a trustedFunction (see AcroJS.pdf for details) ..
saveFunc = app.trustedFunction(function (filename) {
app.beginPriv();
try {
event.target.saveAs({cPath: filename});
} catch (err) {
app.alert("Error: " + err);
app.endPriv();
Code for your event...
var suggestedName = "MyPDFName.pdf";
// Note This will only work if you know where they will be saving it
var cPathToSaveTo = "/c/temp/";
var cResponse = app.response({
cQuestion: "What name would you like to use for this PDF?",
cTitle: "File Name",
cDefault: suggestedName,
cLabel: "File Name:" })
if(cResponse != null)
saveFunc(cPathToSaveTo + cResponse );
Hope this helps.

Scripting in java

Hi All
I would like to know if there is a way to use java instead of javascript in browsers.
example: <script src="java" />
This would make life a lot easier.
Many thanks

It would be great to use java instead of javascript on the client side. Since every browser has a jre anyway!No they don't. What would be great about it anyway? Seriously, think about it. Javascript gives you access to the DOM, you wouldn't need Java for that. Javascript gives you ways to define and use objects, so you don't need Java for that. Javascript gives you common programming artifacts such as mathematical calculations, string manipulation, loops, variables and arrays, so you don't need Java for that. If it's rich UI you're after, scripting doesn't really help with that since browsers don't understand it, and you can use applets if you really want rich UI in your browser. I'm at a loss to think what advantage you see in using Java client-side as a scripting language (but I bet someone comes up with a fair few good examples of how I'm wrong!)
