Start application from .dmg

Hello
I'm wondering what happens if you start up an application from a .dmg file. Will it also place preference files and the like on your Mac or will it just start without putting a single file on your Mac?
And what kind of .dmg file should it be (read/write or dvd/cd master)?
Thanks!

Every user has a folder whose icon is represented by a House image on the sidebar when they are logged in as that user. Those folders for all users are under:
Macintosh HD -> Users
The Desktop folder, the one that has your wallpaper and hard drive is under the home folder of the logged in user.
So if your user is Guest,
Macintosh HD -> Users -> Guest -> Desktop folder is the path to the wallpaper folder.
In the Unix system, Macintosh HD, and any mounted disk, flash drive, or media is actually in
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/
So /Volumes/Macintosh HD/ is the actual path in Unix to your hard drive.
and /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/Guest is the actual path to the guest folder.
The Shared folder in the Users folder is one shared by all users on the hard drive.

HCM Processes & Forms : Employee start application from email

Hi,
In he SAP Online Help,
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/43/1d82283fce3566e10000000a11466f/content.htm
it is documented (in the diagram) that it is possible for the employee role to start the form application from an email that contains a link to start the form application. May I know how the link can be retrieved and embeded in the content of the email, (presumably sent via workflow to the corporate email) ?
Thank you.

Hi Joyce,
Did you manage to resolve this? We have a similar requirement and are on EnP 3 as well. Is this something that you were able to achieve?
Thanks.

Starting applications from a Java GUI

Hi,
I am creating a main menu application that will act as a front end for users to a selection of other applications. They will use this main menu application to start any of the other applications.
Most of these other application are written in Java, however, some of the applications have been written in Xview and until I can convert them to Java I have to be able to start them from my main menu application. When I exec these Xview applications they fail every time with the following message:
X Error of failed request: Bad Access (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 89 (X_StoreColors)
Serial number of failed request: 152
current serial number in output stream: 153
Now from what I can gather the problem is (apart from my lack of Xview knowledge) the Xview application is trying to change and lock the colormap which I assume is locked by the java application or something along these lines. I don't suppose anyone has come across this problem themselves and has any suggestions???
Cheers

Start application from applet

Hi there!
I have to start an application from applet (is not my idea, i HAVE to do it). That menas (i think) i have a little problem with the java "sand box". How can i make my program run out of it? Signed Applets? Are there also other possibiliys? Can i make as "privat person" signed Applets?
Thank's

This is SAX-parser for XML processing. The XML-files are local saved, also the applet and the application. The Parser application seems to start, but (sic!) there is no output, even though the application is OK...

Start Application from Terminal without Open

I need to start an application from the terminal without using open - I'm using the java exec() command to keep a handle to the application process, and when I use open it returns a handle to open instead of a handle to the application. When I try to putting in the application name, it says "cannot execute binary file". The application also won't let me look inside it to find the name of the executable. Is this possible? How do I do this?

Some applications are not "application bundles". Usually these are older Carbon based apps that may have been ported over from OS 9. <Control>-clicking on these applications will not give you the "Show Package Contents" option because they are not folders (like application bundles are).
However, you can launch these apps from the command line using "LaunchCFMApp". You'll have to specify the full path to LaunchCFMApp followed by the path to the app you want to launch like this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp /path/to/app/you/want/to/launch
I'm not a java programmer but perhaps you could use a command similar to the above with java's exec().
HTH,
Steve
EDIT: Oops, I just re-read your original post... I suppose even if LaunchCFMApp works with java exec() you may still get handle to LaunchCFMApp instead of the actual application.

How to call Web Start app from Web Start app?

Is there a way to call another Java Web Start Application from a running
Java Web Start Application, possibly from a different JNLP file?
Could this be done in a way that there won't be another virtual machine
launched; i. e. that the started Application will run in the same virtual
machine as the calling one?
Cheers,
Tobias

Im not sure about running in the same Jvm however there are two ways I know of to start another jnlp app. I am using this to essentially restart my application however, you dont have to do that and can start another web application by either using BasicService.showDocument with the jnlp file ( should start a webs tart app) or usign runtime exec with javaws and the jnlp as the argument.
    String jnlpUrlString = "commpartnersapp.jnlp?COMPANY="+COMPANY_ID;
    try {
      try {
        // Lookup the javax.jnlp.BasicService object
        //get the codebase
        //This will work on both Unix and Windows
        BasicService basicService = (BasicService) ServiceManager.lookup(
            "javax.jnlp.BasicService");
        URL codeBaseURL = basicService.getCodeBase();
        log.config("basicService.getCodeBase()=" + codeBaseURL.toString());
        basicService.showDocument(new URL(codeBaseURL, jnlpUrlString));
      catch (UnavailableServiceException ue) {
        //here for testing purposes since we are not started from jnlp in IDE
        log.log(Level.SEVERE,
                "ClientFrame:jMenuItemResetUserId_actionPerformed", ue);
        //when we are in the development environment
        String codeBaseString = "http://compub.cms/web/webportal/soft/";
        //Note this will work on windows only, javaws always in path
        //see http://java.sun.com/developer/community/chat/JavaLive/2005/jl0301.html
        //works on windows
        String execString = "javaws " + codeBaseString + jnlpUrlString;
        log.config("execString = " + execString);
        Process application = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(execString);
      catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
        log.log(Level.SEVERE,
                "ClientFrame:jMenuItemResetUserId_actionPerformed", ex);
    catch (IOException ex1) { //runtime exec throws IOException
      log.log(Level.SEVERE, "ClientFrame:jMenuItemResetUserId_actionPerformed", ex1);
    //pass a false param to not store profile at end of shutdown
    this.shutdown(0, false); //calls System.exit(0);R

How do I start and suspend Java Application from say C++ program

I want to start a Java application via C++ and on some condition i want to suspend the same program not terminate , but suspend

Have you tried running the virtual machine from your C++ application ? You can start Java applications from your C++ application using JNI after starting the Virtual machine from within your C++ application. According to the Java documentation you can even now stop the virtual machine from within your C++ program.
I haven't looked at the 'suspend' detail but I suppose it will not be a problem to call a method via JNI to set a flag to suspend a thread etc.
There is a tutorial: 'Invoking the Java Virtual Machine' at the following URL: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/invoking/invo.html.
This example seems to work only for version1.1 of the JDK. For JDK1.3, version 1.2, (I am not so sure whether I fully understand Sun's version numbers for Java yet) there is some updates on the JNI for starting the VM from C++. This article is called 'JNI Enhancements'. The URL for this article is:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3.0/docs/guide/jni/jni-12.html
You have to set version to: JNI_VERSION_1_2
There is only one problem. I get an error when calling JNI_CreateJavaVM from C++. I could not find any documentation that indicates how you can go about diagnosing what is causing the problem. Normally in Visual C++ you can just get the probable cause by inspecting GetLastError() or the function itself can return helpful diagnostic (error) codes.
If you manage to start the VM correctly from within Visual C++ please let me know. My email address is [email protected]
good luck

Start a WS application from within a java program

Hi,
I need to start a WebStart application from within a java program. Therefore I develeoped a class which starts javaws.exe within its main-method like this:
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
"c:\\java web start\\javaws.exe http://a.b/c.jnlp"
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
And that did not work. Java Web Start tries to start the .jnlp program but returns with the message, that the app-desc|applet-desc|installer-desc|component-desc is missing. But it is there: It is an applet and thus I defined an applet-dec.
I tried to do it from a command line with the followinf command:
java -Djnlpx.home="C:\abc" -cp "C:\abc\javaws.jar" com.sun.javaws.Main http://a.b/c.jnlp
And that works. But using this command from within my jjava prog using the Runtime.exec() method does not work.
By the way, simply type "javaws http://a.b/c.jnlp" at the command line does not work.
Can anybody help me? How may I start a .jnlp program within another java program.
Kind Regards,
Tobias Neubert

Hi,
I recently had a quite similar problem. At least the error message by the Java Web Start application on Mac OS X complained about the same error (app-desc|applet-desc|installer-desc|component-desc). It turned out to be some bad invisible characters in the jnlp file. I copied some sample from a web page which for some reason contained some unicode chars that the parser doesn't like. Use a different text editor or the less command on unix to see if there are some strange characters in you jnlp file.
But it seems strange that it does work from the command line and not from your code.

Starting application server from IDE

I'm trying to start the application server from an evaluation copy of
Visual Cafe 4.5 Enterprise Edition. When I choose Project -> Start
Application Server from the menu, a window briefly opens with "Start
Application Server" as its title and a logo of a spinning W. After
the W spins about one time the window close, with no error message
reported.
I would like to know what I should do in order to start the
application server (A developer's license of WebLogic is included)
from the IDE.

Look at the weblogic.log file
(%BEA_HOME%\wlserver6.0\config\mydomain\logs\weblogic.log) to see if
there are any error messages printed there. If not, it is probably a
license issue in that the license.bea file must be in the CLASSPATH used
to start the app server.

Start and manage applications from creative cloud

Hi, why not be able to start Adobe CC applications from the Creative Cloud itself? Why not manage them from it, to uninstall, additionally to update or install? I've needed this during the switch to CC 2014. Why not re-install option too? In the process of switching to CC 2014, I've installed PS CC 2014 and AI CC 2014, then uninstalled the old CC ones and I've got to uninstall CC 2014 apps and install them again just to get rid of some registry issues done in the process, like file associations lost and AI message that needs to run as administrator in order to fix some registry issues, which it couldn't fix actually (under Windows).
Regards, Mike.

Before you remove anything you should sign out of the Creative Cloud so that it is reset for you when you reinstall and sign in again.
