Updating 10.3.9 java from 1.4.2 to 1.5

I have used Software Update to update java on an xserve 10.3.9 from version 1.4.2 to 1.5 and after going through the update, the server still appears to be running 1.4.2. An application running on Tomcat on this server requires Java 1.5. I have also downloaded an update from Apple Support, but nothing seems to work. Can I trash Java and start over? What files need to be trashed?

Maybe I'm missing something, but it appears from this, that it requires Tiger:

Java does not update older version when installing from MSI file

I'm using an MSI file of Java because it's easier for deploying through SCCM. Anyway when I do everything works fine except it does not update older versions of Java. So for instance if I have Java 7 update 7 and install Java 7 update 21 using the MSI file I'll then have two versions of Java installed on my computer. Anybody know a way to install using the MSI file where it updates older versions of Java (as long as it's the same major revision) like the exe would?

Yes same problem here. I had a successful rollout with the MSI package and version 1.7 Update 17 on 1500 computers!
I packaged the Update 21 and on my first test-clients the control panel crashes when I try to open it. But the setup ends successful without any error code all eventviewer entries are successful and it seems that the environment is running. Firefox plugintest was successful.
Why doesn't offer Orcale the MSI files?! Since last year Java cost me o lot of time deploying Java. There is no update which you can release quickly because there are always bugs to deploy them.

Update data in r/3 from webdynpro using bapi

Hi ,
i am new to webdynpro.
i want to update data say sales order in r/3 backend from webdynpro.
can i have some links for the same.
i have seen previous forums in following link, but couldn't open.do i need to register to have some extra rights.
/thread/12846 [original link is broken]
thanks in advance

Hi Satya
In order to update data in R/3 from web dynpro you need to use RFC or BAPI
The Adaptive Remote Function Call (Adaptive RFC) is a technology that enables the Web Dynpro application developer to use the business functions encapsulated in Business APIs (BAPIs) even after a structure modification, without having to provide the new data using a second back end or a new structure with subsequent regeneration of the proxies.
Procedure for Importing Adaptive RFC model is as follows
1. Choose the context menu entry Create Model on the Models node of the relevant Web Dynpro component.
2. In the model wizard, choose Import Adaptive RFC Model followed by Next.
3. Make the required entries for example, to specify where the generated RFC model instances and RFC metadata are to be stored.
4. In the next wizard window, you enter your user data for the SAP System that contains the BAPIs from which you want to generate the proxies. You use it to log on to the SAP System online.
To be able to log on to the SAP System, it must be entered in the logon group.
5. Next select the BAPIs for which you want to create Java proxies in a generation process. Then choose Next to proceed to the next wizard window.
6.The import log provides information about the generated model classes, properties, and model relations. Choose Finish to start the generation process.
Now add this model in "Used Model" for your application
Now for graphic display you create view,for the progarm control create controller and used this model to retrieve & update data.

Java from Time Machine

Hi all...
Due to the recent Java update (From Apple), Java is disabled in web-browsers.
Simple question is, how do I restore just the old version of Java from a Time Machine backup, without having to do a full restore of all my files?
Thanks.

You can't.

How to set JRE 1.5.0_07 as default Java from the cmd line in Windows

Hi All,
We are currently in the process of upgrading our company to IE8. As MS JVM is incompatible we need to remove it.
However, once we have done this JRE 1.5.0_07 is not the default version of Java any more for IE8.
My question is - Is there a command line switch to set set JRE 1.5.0_07 as default Java from the cmd line in Windows. ie the setting in Java Control panel where you would tick Internet Explorer?
Thanks in advance!

This is to confirm a similar issue. Here is the scenario:
We are currently using IE 6 and looking forward to upgrade to IE 8. Our current Java version is: J2RE 1.5.0_16.
When updating from IE 6 to IE 8 with J2RE 1.5.0_16 on a test workstation, we get the following error from the Java testing website (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml): "load: class testvm2/Main.class not found."
Workaround :
-> Change Java JRE Network Settings in Control Panel to "User proxy server : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx"
We are using an autoconfig.pac file and it seems IE8 can't parse the settings to JRE to go through the proxy.
Please advise if you have a fix for the autoconfig.pac file.

Cannot update to 10.4.6 from 10.4.5

Did the automatic update. The latest java, itunes and OS X 10.6 all failed. Downloaded them individually from apple and still no update. The updater fails right after you hit the install.
Here is the first line of the report.
Exception: EXCBADINSTRUCTION (0x0002)
Code[0]: 0x00000002
Code[1]: 0xa105482c

Hi jmcdow71,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Before you update run some system maintenance as outlined here: Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance.
Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC. After this installed successfully, Repair permissions and run software update again.

Today, Sept 26, 2011: I finally decided to download version 6. I got a message stating my java script was not compatible with this version. It did a search and said it could not find an update. I need jave script. What now??

Using Window XP Pro with service pack 3 and all the updates. I uninstalled version 6 and am now back to version 4. 4 gig ram and over a hundred gigs of storage. Not using Nortons or McAfee. Checking my settings, I find java is enabled, but still get "java not installed" on many sites. I have reverted to version 4, so I can only load the troubleshooting info from there.

It is '''not''' JavaScript that is incompatible/disabled, it is Java Console that is incompatible/disabled. Java Console is installed with each update of Java and is not needed by most users; read the following under '''Java Console'''
*Also see --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
*Also see --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/JavaScript
*Also see --> http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3470971/Java-vs-JavaScript.htm
Test to see that your Java is working at the following link. If Java is working on your system, it will detect the version that is installed on your system.
*https://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
'''Java Console''' 
Unless you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages, you do not need Java Console. Java update will install a new Java Console with each update. Removing the Java Console extensions has no effect on the functioning of Java for web browsing. You can see, '''''but not remove''''', the Java Console extensions in Add-ons > Extensions. Java Console extensions can be safely removed '''''manually''''' by following the instructions in this article:

Problem with updating oracle DB with java date thru resultset.updateDate()

URGENT Please
I am facing problem in updating oracle database with java date through resultset.updateDate() method. Can anybody help me please
following code is saving wrong date value (dec 4, 2006 instead of java date jul 4, 2007) in database:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT myDate FROM myTable");
rs.first();
SimpleDateFormat sqlFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
java.util.Date myDate = new Date();
rs.updateDate("myDate", java.sql.Date.valueOf(sqlFormat.format(myDate)));
rs.updateRow();

I believe you should use yyyy-MM-dd instead of yyyy-mm-dd. I think MM stands for month while mm stands for minute as per
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
(If this works, after spending so much of your time trying to solve it, don't hit yourself in the head too hard. I find running out of the room laughing hysterically feels better).
Here is a more standard(?) way of updating:
String sqlStatement=
"update myTable set myDate=? where personID=?"
PreparedStatement p1= connection.prepareStatement(sqlStatement);
p1.setDate(1,new java.sqlDate());
p1.setInt(2, personID);
p1.executeUpdate();

[svn] 758: Updating all modules to Java 1.5.0 and Ant 1.7.0

Revision: 758
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-03-07 10:47:56 -0800 (Fri, 07 Mar 2008)
Log Message:
Updating all modules to Java 1.5.0 and Ant 1.7.0
* Updated setup.sh to reflect this.
* Added an Eclipse project called flex-asc; it's required to run the other compiler projects now (now you can build and debug the entire compiler, including asc, all in Eclipse; I've removed the reference to asc.jar).
* The other Eclipse projects now specify Java 1.5.
* Revving asc.jar for compatibility with Java 1.5; it's taken from the 3.0.x branch temporarily while mainline asc is fixed up.
* Fixed some assertions in mainline ASC (commenting them out with comments means fixing them, in this case)
* Fixed some in-your-face warnings in the modules when compiling.
* This will probably break the build, so hold tight. Preemptively, I'm on it...

I'm expieriencing the very same problem, i.e. code compilation with a 1.5.0_06 compiler and execution on a 1.5.0_06 jre works fine, but the code parser will display an red line under a code line like the following:
Vector<String> sv = new Vector<String>();
I did what was hinted to in the reply. I connected to archive rt.jar in the jre-director of the jdk-1.5 and connected the javadoc for 1.5, but I still have the red lines.
I have also added the argument -source 1.5 to the compiler, but nothing seems to help.
Any hints very much appreciated. Many thanks.

Do not make your Mac bite off more than it can chew: do one update at a time. Some general guidelines on updating:
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Hi Guys,
Dont forget to close your stmt and connection after execution
Use this as a template if you like:
try{
     /**make connection**/
     ServerConnection sc = new ServerConnection();
Statement stmt = sc.conn.createStatement();
/**create statement & execute**/
String insertstmt = "insert into .......";
//execute
stmt.execute(insertstmt);
/**Close and catch exception**/
stmt.close();
sc.conn.close();
catch(SQLException sqlE){
     sqlE.printStackTrace();
     System.out.println(sqlE.getMessage());
As for the string "insertstmt" itself, this is where your standard SQL statement goes
So get it working using a standard SQL editor first, then copy and paste it in to this string variable. The string should be a series of concatenated strings and variables to recreate the SQL atatement in Java. For example
the SQL statement:
insert into Mytable(SESSIONID, TIME1) values ('300', '4.45pm' );
assuming the values are stored in variables called 'sessionnumber' and 'time'
will become
String stmt =
"insert into Mytable(SESSIONID, TIME1) values ('"+sessionnumber+"', '"+time+"')";
Hope this helps.
E
Ps. Do a system.out.println after you create the stmt. The statement printed out to the console should be a valid SQL statement that you can use in your editor. (minus the ;)
...keep working on the string until you can do this.

Bad juju not having a bootable backup that you can revert back to when you run into these kinds of issues. Get a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. See these for details:

Norton Anti-virus-Unable to Live Update (Virus Def) Error/Java 1.4.2

Hello all.
I have Norton Anti-virus 10.1.1 running on my iMac, Live Update has always been set on "auto" scheduling.
Until these few days, I have difficulties Live Updating the latest virus definition, I will get this error message window:
Updating Error
There was an error performing the update (OK button)
I emailed Symantec and got a reply, saying the problem could be due to Java 1.4.2, they ask me to re-install Java 1.4.2
However, a check at Apple's Download site reveals no single stand-alone Java 1.4.2 installer, only updates. Is Java 1.4.2 part of the current OS or was from previous OS?
Anyway when I tried downloading the Java 1.4.2 Update, my iMac refuses, in the installer it says:
You cannot install Java 1.4.2 Update 1 Package on this volume. This volume does not contain a version of Java that needs updating.
So if Java is the problem like what Symantec Support points out, how can I re-install Java 1.4.2?
Thanks and cheers

1. You wrote: "Also, to the previos post, I trashed all the Java receipts and still unable to (re)install Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2, I think the console results say it all, I have Java ver. 1.5, right?"If you see the same output as I provided, then you should have the same version: that should be obvious.
Don't touch anything in the Receipts directory unless you know what you're doing.
2. You wrote: "Dr. Smoke, not exactly sure how to go from here where you point to the URL, about checking the console messages/logs for Live Update? Can you help provide some pointers."The instructions I provided earlier, as well as my FAQ, are self-evident. You should not need any additional pointers. Re-read my instructions then re-read my FAQ.
Paraphrasnig what I wrote earlier: If you see the Live Update error again, check the ends of the logs cited in my "Checking Console for clues" FAQ for any messages related to LiveUpdate problems, e.g. messages citing LiveUpdate that were written to the ends of the logs I cite in my FAQ at the time the problem occurred. If you check immediately after the problem occurs, the messages — if any — would be at the end of the log.
What could be clearer than that?
3. I suspect the Java 1.4.2 info you were given earlier by Symantec was a red herring, i.e. a false lead. Console-related messages as noted in point 2 above would be helpful.
4. You might want to perform a general checkup for some common troublemakers: run the Procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
5. Likewise, following the Symantec advice to download the virus defs once and then trying again in a week or so isn't a bad idea.
Good luck!

Uninstalling All versions of Java from Windows Silent

Hi Everyone,
If there is something somewhere on Sun sites that does this already I appologize, but I have to get all previous version of Java from Sun uninstalled from over 700 hundred PCs and so I have created a set of scripts to uninstall all previous versions.
You would copy 'java-uninstall.bat' and 'java-uninstaller.vbs' to c:\temp (make sure you have one) the script can be modified for another location of your choosing. Then you can execite the batch file or have it scheduled to do that with the NT 'AT' command. It will uninstall anything that shows up in Add/Remove programs with 'Java' in the displayname and 'Sun' as the publisher. This would including removal of SDK amd JRE versions, so keep that in mind.
This could probably be used in the login script, but thats not how I deploy updates, it may be fashioned to work with SMS, I don't know. I have a script that goes through network copying files to c$ shares and scheduling it for later in the night.
Also note this just uninstalls the older versions I have another script that does the reinstalling of the newer version.
Files below:
[java-uninstall.bat]
REM <start>
@echo off
if not exist c:\temp\. mkdir c:\temp
REM Export the Uninstall registry keys
start /wait "" REGEDIT /E c:\temp\registry.tmp HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall
REM Filter only the {} keys that Java might be in
type c:\temp\registry.tmp | find /i "\{" | find /i "}]" > c:\temp\uninstall.tmp
REM Run the Vbscript that uses this file to find Java Sun entries to uninstall
cscript c:\temp\java-uninstaller.vbs
REM <end>
[java-uninstaller.vbs]
'<start>
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim fso, MyFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
'Open the exported registry file
Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\uninstall.tmp", ForReading)
Do While mYFile.AtEndOfStream <> True
 ReadLineTextFile = MyFile.ReadLine
 Uninstall = ReadLineTextFile
 CLSID = Mid(Uninstall, 73, 38)
 On Error Resume Next
 'DisplayName
 DisplayName=WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\"+CLSID+"\DisplayName")
 'Publisher
 Publisher=WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\"+CLSID+"\Publisher")
 'Search for presence of Java and Sun in DisplayName and Publisher
 search1 = Instr(1, DisplayName, "Java", 1)
 search2 = Instr(1, Publisher, "Sun", 1)
 'Execute removal if there is a match
 Uninstaller="MsiExec.exe /X"&CLSID+" /QN"
 if search1>0 And search2>0 Then Return = WshShell.Run(Uninstaller , 1, TRUE)
Loop
'<end>

Here is a batch file that I wrote to accomplish the same objective of uninstalling all versions of Java Virtual Machine JVM from a XP/Vista box:
You can name it anything you like, such as cleanjava.bat:
@echo off & cls
Rem List all Installation subkeys from uninstall key.
echo Searching Registry for Java Installs
for /f %%I in ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall') do echo %%I | find "{" > nul && call :All-Installations %%I
echo Search Complete..
goto :EOF
:All-Installations
Rem Filter out all but the Sun Installations
for /f "tokens=2*" %%T in ('reg query %1 /v Publisher 2^> nul') do echo %%U | find "Sun" > nul && call :Sun-Installations %1
goto :EOF
:Sun-Installations
Rem Filter out all but the Sun-Java Installations. Note the tilda + n, which drops all the subkeys from the path
for /f "tokens=2*" %%T in ('reg query %1 /v DisplayName 2^> nul') do echo . Uninstalling - %%U: | find "Java" && call :Sun-Java-Installs %~n1
goto :EOF
:Sun-Java-Installs
Rem Run Uninstaller for the installation
MsiExec.exe /x%1 /qb
echo . Uninstall Complete, Resuming Search..
goto :EOFAdditional Info: http://tinyurl.com/29cdah
Hope this helps.
