VeriSign Java Object Signing (Class 3) Digital ID

Hi,
I have a VeriSign Java Object Signing (Class 3) Digital ID.
How do i convert this to a file i can use for signing?
I previously had a '.p12' file and used jarsigner which worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
J

I just received our Verisign "Java Object Signing
(Class 3) Digital ID". When I try to import it I get
the following error:
keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509
certificate.
The command I am using to import the cert is :
keytool -import -alias pcs -file cert.cer -keystore
vs.keystore -trustcacerts
Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am using JDK 1.3,
do I need to upgrade to 1.4 to import certs currently
being provided by Verisign?
Thanks,
JimIf you did as I did and ordered a rsa certificate, you need to add the option
-keyalg rsa
to your command line.

Tool to create Java Object classes using the Database Tables

Hi,
Is their any tools or utility available to create the Java Object Classes using the Database Tables as input.
Lets Say I am having the Employee, Employee_Salary tables in the Database.The utility has to create the Java Object classes with the relation.
Please Help...
Thx..

Hm, for generating regular Java classes I wouldn't know one from memory. But I suggest you start searching in for example the Eclipse marketspace for a third party plugin that can do it. If all fail, you could always use Hibernate Tools from the Jboss Tools Eclipse plugin set to generate Hibernate/JPA entities and then strip the annotations from them to turn them into regular POJO classes.
How many tables are we talking about anyway? It might be less effort to just create the classes with properties and then use an IDE to generate getters and setters for them.

How to reload class file for java objects in CF MX7

I'm trying to create a simple java object for use in a CFML
page. According to the topic "About ColdFusion and Java objects" in
the CF developer's guide, I can compile my java module and put the
.class file in the CFusionMX7/wwwroot/WEB-INF/classes directory and
it'll be dynamically reloaded any time CF sees a new .class file
there. But the dynamic reload isn't happening; I have to restart
the CF server to get it to pick up a new version.
I don't believe this directory is in the "general JVM
classpath"; I don't find "classes" in the Java Class Path in the CF
Administrator's System Information page. And I have all the caching
options turned off on the "Server Settings > Caching" page, if
that has any bearing on it.
Are there any known issues around this dynamic reload
capability, or maybe a more definitive way to make sure the
WEB-INF/classes directory isn't in the classpath?
Thanks,
James

Yes, I understand. But if I'm reading it correctly, what
you're saying seems to contradict the documentation
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00001561.htm
ColdFusion dynamically loads classes that are either .class
files in the web_root/WEB-INF/classes directory or in JAR files in
the web_root/WEB-INF/lib directory. ColdFusion checks the time
stamp on the file when it creates an object that is defined in
either directory, even when the class is already in memory. If the
file that contains the class is newer than the class in memory,
ColdFusion loads the class from that directory.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_18228&sliceId=1
Dynamic class reloading for Java servlets classes and
forcfobject (sic) Java classes is disabled by default in
ColdFusion MX. To enable dynamic class reloading, do the following:
Also, I seem to recall that setting worked in a prior
version. Though I would have to test it again on another machine to
be certain.

Since that implementation has existed since 1.2 and
the original post suggested that 1.3 was being used,I
don't see that a newer version would help any.That's not a good assumption. There could have been a
bug fix.
Could be. But for the particular error (IncompatibleClassChangeError) I would consider the chance almost non-existent until all other possibilities have been exhausted.

Initializing Factory class with Digital Signature

Hi All,
I am trying to Initialize the Factory class using digital signature. These are the steps I fallowed.
1. Created a Java application "Application1" in Jdeveloper.
2. Copied config, ext, lib folder from the Design console directory to the Application1/Project1 folder.
3. added the lib and ext jars to the project properties.
4. Modified the run/debug profile in the project properties to point to the xlconfig file in config folder.
5. added the "-DXL.HomeDir=. -Djava.security.auth.login.config=config\authwl.conf" in the java options.
Java code:
public class SignatureLogin {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Properties jndi =
ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer").getAllSettings();
tcSignatureMessage signedMsg = tcCryptoUtil.sign("xelsysadm", "PrivateKey");
tcUtilityFactory factory = new tcUtilityFactory(jndi, signedMsg);
tcUserOperationsIntf usrIntf = (tcUserOperationsIntf)factory.getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcUserOperationsIntf");
System.out.println("signature login complete");
// Do something with usrIntf here
Map filter = new HashMap();
filter.put("Users.Key", "7464");
tcResultSet rSet = usrIntf.findAllUsers(filter);
rSet.goToRow(0);
System.out.println(rSet.toString());
factory.close();
System.out.println("logout complete");
System.exit(0);
Then ran the java class. I am able to get the connection but when I am using findAllUsers(map) method to search the usr table I am get a nullpointer exception.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi,
Were you able to resolve the issue as I am facing same issue.
I have a custom application deployed on same weblogic managed server where OIM is installed but when I try to find user in OIM it gives me null pointer exception.
I have even checked the username with which connection is established using ioUtilityFactory.getUserName() and it gives me the correct user.
Thanks

Question about java objects and handles?

Let me see if I can explain what I have. Inside my originating Java code, I create an object, let's call it object A, from a class I that I DON'T have the source for. It's not my class. Object A in turn creates an object, let's call it Object B, from a class I don't have the source for. Then Object A creates another object, let's call it Object C, that I DO have the source for, and passes it the reference to Object B that it created. My question is this: In my originating Java code, how do I get a reference to Object B? Or, how can I get the reference to Object C, which would allow me to get the reference to Object B?
Hope everyone understands that?

Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I should have mentioned that Object A does not have a method to return a referenece to Objects B and C. That's my problem. Was just wondering if there is some other way to obtain those refereneces. The reason I mentioned that I don't have the source code for Object A is because if I did, I could obviously write a method that would return me the references.
I'm not new to Java, nor am I an expert either. I'm pretty well up-to-speed on object oriented design though.
I'll provide more specifics on my problem just in case there is a solution to my problem. My code (class) is attempting to establish a connection with a mainframe computer through a web server portal using terminal emulation software provided by a 3rd party vendor. They provide an SDK that contains all the java classes necessary to establsih the connection. To establish the connection, you are required to build a java Properties object that contains all the parameters for the connection (host id, etc.) and pass that properties object to the constructor for the "Object A" class. That object actually establishes the session object using the parameters object you pass it. The session gets displayed in a standalone Applet ("Object A" class extends Applet). You can click on the applet, sign in to the system, and do whatever just fine using your keyboard. However, I wish to send commands to the session from my originating java code. The session object has a method to send commands to the session, but to do that, I need a handle to the session object that was created. I don't have that, and it appears they don't provide a method to get that. Looks like the vendor's intent was just for the user to interface with the session/Applet via the keyboard.

Netscape Object Signing

Hi. I've been trying to figure this out for over a week now, and customer support at Thawte is not very helpful.
I purchased the netscape object signing certificate from Thawte. I used it to sign a .jar file compiled and archived by jdk1.1.8(using signtool 1.3). But when I try to load it I get "Applet testApplet class testApplet could not be loaded" If I try to load the unsigned .jar file, it loads fine. When I run the unsigned applet from a local hard drive, it actually asks for permission and can access routines out of the sandbox(and actually works), but when it is run from the server it stops asking for permission(does not work). In either case the signed applet does not load.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Certificate if purchased from Thawte. No security dialog. Using Netscape JVM (no plug-in installed on Netscape).
I don't know what you mean by java console...nothing loads on the browser, and the error message I mentioned in the first posting appears on the bottom of the browser.

Generation of XML file from Java objects using castor

I have the following java file(Customer.java).
public class Customer
     private String ID;
     private FirstName firstName;
     private MiddleName middleName;
     private LastName lastName;
     private ArrayList address;
     public ArrayList getAddress() {
          return address;
     public void setAddress(ArrayList address) {
          this.address = address;
     public FirstName getFirstName() {
          return firstName;
     public void setFirstName(FirstName firstName) {
          this.firstName = firstName;
     public String getID() {
          return ID;
     public void setID(String id) {
          ID = id;
     public LastName getLastName() {
          return lastName;
     public void setLastName(LastName lastName) {
          this.lastName = lastName;
     public MiddleName getMiddleName() {
          return middleName;
     public void setMiddleName(MiddleName middleName) {
          this.middleName = middleName;
Using castor i have created an xml file(customer.xml) which has the following format.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <customer ID="fbs0001">
<FIRSTNAME>Fred</FIRSTNAME>
<MIDDLENAME>B</MIDDLENAME>
<LASTNAME>Scerbo</LASTNAME>
- <ADDRESS>
<FIRSTLINE>No 18, Sheshadri road</FIRSTLINE>
<SECONDLINE>Gandhinagar Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
</ADDRESS>
- <ADDRESS>
<FIRSTLINE>ITPL</FIRSTLINE>
<SECONDLINE>Whitefield Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
</ADDRESS>
</customer>
I have used a mapping file to get this output.Is there a way where i can get the output xml in the following format without changing the Java object structure.If yes then please suggest how this can be done.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <customer ID="fbs0001">
<FIRSTNAME>Fred</FIRSTNAME>
<MIDDLENAME>B</MIDDLENAME>
<LASTNAME>Scerbo</LASTNAME>
</customer>
<ADDRESS>
<FIRSTLINE>No 18, Sheshadri road</FIRSTLINE>
<SECONDLINE>Gandhinagar Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
</ADDRESS>
- <ADDRESS>
<FIRSTLINE>ITPL</FIRSTLINE>
<SECONDLINE>Whitefield Bangalore</SECONDLINE>
</ADDRESS>
I mean the output xml file should have the address as a separate tag not withing the root tag customer.

Hello,
Castor's own discussion groups might be able to point you to the solution you're looking for (if this use case is possible using Castor).
Oracle has its own object-to-XML mapping tool that is part of the TopLink product. It allows you to map existing objects to an existing XML Schema. This can be done visually using the TopLink Workbench, or programmatically using the TopLink APIs. TopLink OXM also supports the JAXB specification.
Using TopLink OXM to get the desired XML result I would recommend the following. Map the Customer and Address classes to XML, but don't map the relationship between Customer and Address. Then make the calls to the marshaller something like the following:
marshaller.marshal(aCustomer, System.out);
for(int x=0; x<aCustomer.getAddress().size(); x++) {
     marshal(aCustomer.getAddress().get(x), System.out);
Example - Using TopLink OXM to map an existing object model to an existing XML Schema:

Problem with XMLEncoder for complex java object i

Hi All.
My problem with XMLEncoder is it doesnt transfrom java objects without default no arguement constructor. I was able to resolve this in my main java object class, by setting a new persistence delegate, but for other classes that are contained in the main class, they are not being encoded.
Thanks in advance for your answers

Better to put this in java forum :-)
Just check, if this helps.

How to reference multiple instances of the same Java object from PL/SQL?

Dear all,
I'm experimenting with calling Java from PL/SQL.
My simple attempts work, which is calling public static [java] methods through PL/SQL wrappers from SQL (and PL/SQL). (See my example code below).
However it is the limitation of the public static methods that puzzels me.
I would like to do the following:
- from PL/SQL (in essence it needs to become a forms app) create one or more objects in the java realm
- from PL/SQL alter properties of a java object
- from PL/SQL call methods on a java object
However I fail to see how I can create multiple instances of an object and reference one particular object in the java realm through public static methods.
My current solution is the singleton pattern: of said java object I have only 1 copy, so I do not need to know a reference to it.
I can just assume that there will only ever be 1 of said object.
But I should be able to make more then 1 instance of an object.
To make it more specific:
- suppose I have the object car in the java realm
- from PL/SQL I want to create a car in the java realm
- from PL/SQL I need to give it license plates
- I need to start the engine of a scpecific car
However if I want more then 1 car then I need to be able to refrence them. How is this done?
Somehow I need to be able to execute the following in PL/SQL:
DECLARE
vMyCar_Porsche CAR;
vMyCar_Fiat CAR;
BEGIN
vMyCar_Porsche = new CAR();
vMyCar_Fiat = new CAR();
vMyCar_Porsche.setLicensePlates('FAST');
vMyCar_Porsche.startEngine();
vMyCar_Fiat.killEngine();
END;
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Ruben

You can do this by manually creating a new iterator binding in your binding tab.
So instead of dragging the VO directly to the page, go to the binding tab, add a new executable iterator binding, and point to that one from your ELs in the page itself.

}OK, My questions are:
[1]. what I generated XML by XSTream is very complicated, especially for object LocationTest, Can we make it as simple as others such as Person object??
[2]. after I run it, LocationTest will popup and a red ball in a panel will dsiplay, after I change red ball's position, I hope to persist it to xml, then when I read it back, I hope to get same picture, ie, red ball stiil in old position, How to do that??
Thanks a lot!!

Positive feedback? Then please take this in a positive way: if you want to work on persisting Java objects into XML, then GUI programming is irrelevant to that goal. The 1,000 lines of code you posted there appeared to me to have a whole lot of GUI code in it. You should produce a smaller (much smaller) example of what you want to do. Calling the working code from your GUI program should come later.
