System.loadLibrary() and DLL manifest files

Hi,
Has anyone gotten Java WebStart working with VisualStudio 2005 DLL manifest files? That is, it is illegal to load DLLs without having the manifest file visible. Last time I checked, Webstart did not extract native DLLs from JARs until System.loadLibrary() was used -- but this would not work for manifest files.
The only workaround I can think of is embedding the manifest files inside the DLL but this sounds a bit ugly.
A related problem is that if I System.loadLibrary() on library A and it depends on library B which I have never loaded before then this will fail because Webstart did not extract B.
This is related to http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6191612
Any ideas?

The dll is
deployed as part of a J2EE application, and shouldn't
need registering by the regsvr32 program.regsvr32 should have nothing to do with JNI dlls. Unless the dll is also a COM object factory (or what ever the proper name for such a thing is), then regsvr32 should make no difference to its operation.
>
Can anyone explain the difference between the load()
and loadLibrary() methods in detail?They do the same thing, except that for load() you specify the full path to the object and with loadLibrary() you just give its base name and the runtime tries to find it in the java.library.path after adding ".dll" to the name.
You should only call one or the other. Calling both would be an error.

  • How to Load 2 library files using System.loadLibrary in one .java file!!!

    Hello,
    Someone please help me. What I am trying to do is load two .DLL files in my program. Program works fine when I
    do the following way i.e. I have two .java files and in each I am loading one .DLL file. But I don't want to have
    two .java files I want to load both the .DLL files in one program.
    **************** Example.java **********
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class Example
    public native int A(String in);
    static
    System.loadLibrary( "API2" );
    public static void main( String args[])
         Ex ex = new Ex();
         int r;
         r = ex.A("TEST");
    public Example()
    *****************Ex.java*****************
    public class exsysml
    public native int A(String in);
    public exsysml()
    System.loadLibrary("API3");
    The above way works. But I need only one .java file to load both the .DLL files. i.e.
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class Example
    public native int A(String in);
    static
    System.loadLibrary( "API2" );
    System.loadLibrary( "API3" );     
    public static void main( String args[])
         Example ex = new Example();
         int r;
         r = ex.A("TEST");
    public Example()
    but when I do this way it doesn't work and I get a UnSatisfiedLinkage Error at ex.A("TEST"). While doing the top way it works.
    How can I fix this to just have one .java file and load both the library files as done in the bottom program but doing this program doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    what I figured out so far is that we can only load one library file in a single class and define all the native methods present in that library in the class where we are loading it. Means we can't load multiple library files in a single class. It's just my thought else if someone provides a better solution. I may be wrong so that's why I need your help.
    Thanks

  • Problem with manifest file and Plateau LMS

    I have published a course with a quiz in SCORM 1.2 and tried
    to upload to a Plateau LMS.
    It seems that a "page cannot be found" message is the result
    after upload and we try to launch the course. The course works
    outside the LMS (when run locally on my computer).
    The Plateau LMS support team tried to help, and found the
    following: "There is something wrong with this manifest, though I
    cannot ascertain what that is exactly. Most of the file name is in
    the parameter field, which is causing the launch path to look like
    this:
    /content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS?BRT%20Maintenance%20Template_%2020080226.htm=
    Everything in the parameters field is placed after the
    filename in a URLencoded querystring after the question mark that
    you see above. it should look like this:
    /content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS BRT Maintenance
    Template_ 20080226.htm"
    Can anyone please help resolve this, or have any advice?
    This is the first time we have tried uploading Captivate
    courses to this LMS, and we have been having problems with the
    manifest file in general. I have looked at all the material I can
    find on publishing and the manifest file, but cannot seem to
    resolve my issue.
    Thanks
    Warwick

    Warwick,
    I have had this error with an Authorware set of SCORM files
    when my LMS was looking for index.htm and I had named it index.html
    - you wouldn't think that would cause an error but it did. I would
    be more than happy to package a Captivate file of just a few
    screens that works on my LMS (which is Learn.com's Learning
    Center), and send you the SCORM files to test... That could be a
    start anyhow. I will send you a private msg. with my e-mail
    id.

  • Error with System.loadLibrary(...) with java.library.path set

    I'm trying to get my feet wet with JavaMonkeyEngine using netbeans (on Windows XP SP3, Java 1.6).
    When I try to run a simple example program, I'm getting
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl.dll in java.library.path
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1709)
    My runtime arguments include: -Djava.library.path="../../../../../projectSupport/jME2/lib/lib/lwjgl/native/windows/:etc
    I'm pretty sure that the path is correct, because I tried the following code:
    String [] dirs = System.getProperties().getProperty("java.library.path").split(":");
    for(int i = 0; i < dirs.length; i++ ){
    String path = dirs[i] + java.io.File.separatorChar + "lwjgl.dll";
    if( (new java.io.File(path)).exists()) {
    System.out.println("found in dir " + dirs);
    path = (new java.io.File(path)).getAbsolutePath();
    System.load(path);
    System.out.println("was able to load library manually");
    and the System.load method was reached and didn't throw an exception.
    However, the below call does throw an exception.
    System.loadLibrary("lwjgl.dll");
    Presumably, I shouldn't need to put the dlls into my Path (otherwise whats the purpose of the -D argument).
    I would appreciate some brilliant illuminating thought about now, something like "you forgot the magical snafu parameter" or such.
    Thanks in advance.
    Eric.

    My runtime arguments include:
    -Djava.library.path="../../../../../projectSupport/jME2/lib/lib/lwjgl/native/windows/:{code}So, you're on a Windows OS, and looking for a Windows DLL?
    I'm pretty sure that the path is correct, because I tried the following code:
    {code}String [] dirs = System.getProperties().getProperty("java.library.path").split(":");{code}So, you're specifying a path using the UNIX separator ':', instead of the Windows one ';'?
    Your test code has the knowledge to parse a LINUX-like path, but the Windows VM doesn't have this knowledge (I admit the misleading part is that the VM generally accepts '/' as a file separator (instead of the Windows-standard '\' one), but doesn't recognize the ':' separator). Try using ';' to separate multiple pathes in your command line:
    {code}-Djava.library.path="../../../../../projectSupport/jME2/lib/lib/lwjgl/native/windows/;<noticeTheSeparators>;...    J.

  • UnsatisfiedLinkError System.loadLibrary Windows CE JNI

    I am writing a java application for a Siemens SIMpad SL4 (Windows CE 3.0,Jeode EVM 1.9)
    I have a dll (mylib.dll) compiled with embedded visual c++ containing native functions.
    It is placed in the \windows directory.
    When I try to load the dll with System.loadLibrary(), I allways get an java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError.
    Things I have tried:
    System.loadLibrary("mylib");
    System.loadLibrary("mylib.dll");
    System.loadLibrary("\\windows\\mylib");
    System.loadLibrary("\\windows\\mylib.dll");
    java -Djava.library.path=\windows ...
    Different Directories for the dll (\windows, \, \windows\lib)
    Using other "CLASSPATH".
    Using other "PATH".
    But nothing worked.
    When I load a system dll (e.g. smartcard.dll) with System.loadLibrary("smartcard"), the dll
    is loaded succesfully. Only "self-compiled" libraries are not loaded.
    When I load the dll from a c++ test programm(HINSTANCE handle = LoadLibrary(L"mylib"))
    my library is loaded sucessfully.
    So it seems to be a java only problem.
    Any Ideas ?
    Thanks

    I tried to load different dlls with System.loadLibrary() and used the -verbose option of the jvm.
    A preinstalled dll: System.loadLibrary("winscard"); (Which has nothing to do at all with JNI)
    The "verbose" said: [Loaded Library \Windows\bin\winscard.dll]
    So the library seems to load succesfully.
    Another preinstalled dll: System.loadLibrary("finance");
    The "verbose" said: [Loaded Library \Windows\bin\finance.dll]
    The library loaded ok as well.
    A non exisiting dll: System.loadLibrary("nothing");
    The result was a "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError nothing.dll; library not found"
    An empty test dll created with the dll wizard of embedded visual c++: System.loadLibrary("empty");
    (The dll is in the \Windows directory)
    The result was a "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError empty.dll; library not found"
    A selfmade "JNI" dll: System.loadLibrary("mylib");
    The result is again a "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError mylib.dll; library not found"
    So I don't think it's a problem with the method names.
    Thanks anyway.

  • How to create a .f4m manifest files to play .FLV files

    I typically use .f4v files for my on demand playback media files, however I converted a .mov to a .flv file...  How do I create a .f4m and .m3u8 manifest file that plays .flv files?  Below is the code I normally use for the .f4m and .m3u8 files.  This works great with .f4v files.  I also included my player code.  What am I doing wrong?  The only difference is I'm using a .flv that I didn't use the f4vpp cleaner on..  That shouldn't give me the parse error I'm getting.

    to create a file in appl server you have to use open dataset and close data set..
    see the sample code
    REPORT zanid_test MESSAGE-ID zz .
    parameters:  FULLPATH(128) obligatory lower case
                          default 'E:\usr\sap\put\file.txt'.
    *you change the appl sever path as per your config.
    DATA : BEGIN OF list_asc OCCURS 0,
            msg(300) TYPE c,
           END OF list_asc.
    start-of-selection.
    *---populating data
    list_asc-msg = 'abcdefghijkl'. "your sample data
    append list_asc.
    list_asc-msg = 'faagoaagiagig'. "your sample data
    append list_asc.
    OPEN DATASET fullpath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    LOOP AT LIST_ASC.
          TRANSFER  LIST_ASC-MSG TO fullpath.
          CLEAR LIST_ASC-MSG.
    ENDLOOP.
    CLOSE DATASET fullpath.
    now if you go to appl server , you will find that file in that specified path..
    to create a directory yu can go to transaction AL11 and click the 'konfigurieren'button, you then you can specify the directory attibutes to create a directory
    and to load a file from your loacl pc to appl server you can use transaction CG3Y also, instead of the abap code.
    plz rewrad points if it helps you.

  • Manifest file: Help needed

    Hi everyone,
    We have a java app that includes in its install package some JRE components.
    We use to put these JREs under jre a subdirectory of the App main DIR at this point everything works fine and the manifest file looks like:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Main-Class: mycompany.DIR1.MAINCLASSNAME
    Class-Path: .\jre\lib\jh.jar
    Created-By: 1.2.2 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
    The problem with this approach is when you install more than one copy you will duplicate also the JRE components (some 15 Megs).
    To avoid these duplications we decided to put the JREs in a common directory such as <WINDIR> (WINNT / Windows)
    to do so the manifest file has to be updated to reflect the jh.jar path.
    I tried a hard coded path: Class-Path: e:\WINNT\jre\lib\jh.jar and got this error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: mycompany/DIR1/MAINCLASSNAME
    by removing the class-path line I got the following error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/help/HelpSetException at mycompany.DIR1.MAINCLASSNAME.main(MAINCLASSNAME.java:30)
    Please help,
    any idea or suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    dobject.

    You could try a CLASSPATH along the lines of e:\WINNT\jre\lib\jh.jar;.
    Note, though, that you're throwing a lot of portability away.

  • Dlls and manifest files

    Problem: DLL written in CVI ( for usage with teststand) depends on another DLL, written in MSVC++2008. When trying to use the CVI-DLL in TestStand in fails to find msvcr90.dll. Even after I've ensured that MSVC++2008 redistributables ( 32bit ) are installed.
    Problem seems to be that  MSVC++2008 runtime is installed as "Side by Side Assembly" into winsxs directory and therefore some hints in form of a manifest file are needed to find the right runtime.
    I'am not sure, where i can/have to use the manifest file. Does the MSVC++2008 DLL has to be distributed with the manifest ( either embedded or as seperate file) . Or can I create also a manifest for the CVI-DLL and where I can find documentation for doing so ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The manifest file should be in the DLL built in VC. This VC DLL is the one that depends on the 'side-by-side' msvcr90.dll and so must have a manifest declaring this dependency. The CVI DLL has nothing to do with this issue and does not need any manifest - putting a manifest in the CVI DLL would not help. By default, VC automatically embed the manifest when it builds the DLL - so it should already be there in the VC DLL. You can see the manifest by opening the DLL in VC resource editor and looking in the RT_MANIFEST resource section.
    I think the most likely cause of your problem is that the manifest in your VC DLL points to a different version/build of msvcr90 DLL - this could be because:
    1) You are using a debug build. The VC redistributable only installs release build of msvc90.dll and this is different from the debug flavor of msvcr90.dll. Solution: use a release build of your VC DLL.
    2) You have a newer msvcr90 DLL on your developement machine (may be because of some patch) but you are installing an older redistributable on the target machine. If so, try patching your target machine. I think 1 is more likely than 2.

  • I am Using Itunes For Windows and have my entire music library synced on the laptop. When i tried upgrading to the new version i am getting a system error "MSVCR80.dll file missing". My itunes refuses to open.I have many playlists and songs which i want

    1. how Do I solve this issue.
    2. How do I ensure that i do not lose my playlists along with the songs.
    3. What is the procedure needed to be followed.

    Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
    Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
    But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
    If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
    I can't  download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
    You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
    If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

  • Access jar's and dll's whithin a single jar file???

    Hello everybody!
    I am building an application which is dependent on external jar and dll files. I would like to put these external files in my project jar, and in runtime I want to set the path to these files located in my project jar. Is this possible? I have tried this:
    structure in my project jar:
    -myApp.jar
    +META-INF
    -myApp
    -Main.class
    external.jar
    external.dll
    and in my manifest file:

    Main-Class: myApp.Main
    Class-Path: /external.jarWhen I try to run my application jar with:
    java -jar myApp.jarI get "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" .....
    i.e. the WM does not find my external jar.
    My question now: Is it possible to do things this way? That is to put dependent jars and dlls INSIDE the "running" jar????
    Hope someone can help me...
    Best regards
    TM

    You cannot put a JAR inside a JAR - Java won't be able to find the files in the packaged JAR.
    What you could do is unpack the myApp.jar and external.jar and include the directory structure inside your own project.jar.
    It will not work with a DLL inside the JAR. There's no way around it - the DLL must be a file in the file system, otherwise Windows will not be able to load it (Windows doesn't know what JAR files are, and it can't load a DLL that's inside a JAR file).

  • How to package/inlcude C++ .exe and .dll files in a Java Web Start App?

    Hello,
    I have a Java Web Start application that runs fine if the application is only 1 .jar file.
    But I have a need to also run C++ .exe and .dll file from my Java application.
    I wonder if someone could please tell me how to package/include C++ .exe and
    .dll files in my Java web start application?
    Thank you and Best Regards,
    Akino

    You need to place the EXE and DLLs inside the jar.
    Java cannot execute them from the jar. They have to be extracted (see Class.getResourceAsStream) from the jar and copyied into the target machine file system, perahps to the temp directory. Now you can execute them using Runtime.exec() or ProcessBuilder.start().
