Where is java installed?

where on the mac is Java installed? I have java 1.6, but I want 1.5 (since will be running Tomcat 5.5..) also, it says here,
http://www.javatester.org/version.html
that Java that comes with the mac comes from Apple and not from Sun, and that it tends to be buggy, so I might as well install it on my own.. my main question is: where do I install it? I don't know b/c can't find the install that is there now (found version by typing java -version in unix shell, but when search for "java" I can't find where sdk/jre is installed.. )
......l
acutally, ran a search, found Java install in system/.../frameworks/javaVM.framework.. so do I install 1.5 in system/.../frameworks/?? (need to make very sure two installs, 1.6 and 1.5, are kept separately, too bad javaVM.framework dir doesn't have version in its name (if I un-install 1.6, would that adversely affect anything in the machine I don't know about that needs java 1.6 to function?)
thank you..

I am getting to the point where I distrust anything I see on the internet about Apple products that doesn't end in "apple.com". Technically, those instructions are correct, but way too confusing. They are trying to cover all situations for 100% of all users. It would be far better to just focus on the most common 95% and let the outliers fend for themselves. If they are outliers, they can probably figure it out anyway.
the unix part seems complicated ("The OS X developer tools must be installed to compile the MOD_JK connector, Native Library, or the JSVC daemon..." oh man...)
but well, first thing tried to do was set JAVA_HOME env var.. following instructions on this page did
set JAVA_HOME /Library/Java/Home
Use:
export JAVA_HOME=/Home/Java/Home
and put that line at the end of the file ".bash_profile" in your home directory.
but not sure if it took, not sure what command is in unix to list all env vars.. I thought it was 'env' but running command 'env' the list of env vars does not include JAVA_HOME, even after I set it.. at first did
set JAVA_HOME /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
That is just a more confusing way of referring to the same path as above.

Script issue,Java install from script, push out to servers.

this is a non standard install for Java that has to be installed from a script. basically this script will run against a given amount of servers, stop the required services ( pertains to the application that requires Java on the server), uninstall
java, install java, configure java with correct parameters and security permissions then lastly output a log file to the server that is running the script (folder) of each server . each server will have thier own text file. so two issues first
java uninstalls but does not install due to a permissions error, and the other issue that is occuring is there should be a log file for each server the
log file will have the server name as the file namey, the script will look at the server list and run the code on that server so basically the script
will run at the same time on all the servers, and create log file for each server and put in the folder i designate. - this is not occuring based on the Powershell script below. what parameter is missing below. thanks

Dynamic JNLP causes exception on 1st run after java install

I have a dynamic JNLP file (php) which runs my software. It works just fine, except for the 1st time it is run after a user has installed Java.
I get the exception; "The following field was missing from the jnlp file: <jnlp>". When I look at the jnlp code in JWS in the "Launch File" tab of the error message, I see that the JNLP is not there - but the page the user would see if he was not logged into the system (as if JWS has cached the file or something).
If I close it down, press F5 to refresh, and run it again everything works fine.
I'm running the dyanmic.jnlp?dummy=randomnumber943934 to prevent caching. In addition, these headers are sent: (php code)
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
// HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
// HTTP/1.0
header("Pragma: no-cache");.. so nothing should be cached. But I'm not sure that's where the problem is - cause it only happens the first time after a java install.
Any clues?

I think you're dynamicallt created jnlp is invalid in someway; I can use the following without any problems:
<?php
header("Content-type: application/x-java-jnlp-file");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>\n";
$codebase = trim(stripslashes(urldecode($_REQUEST["codebase"])));
$href = trim(stripslashes(urldecode($_REQUEST["href"])));
echo "<jnlp spec=\"1.0+\" codebase=\"$codebase\" href=\"$href\">\n";
?>
</jnlp>
you should try and test the output of your generated code, something like this should work:
test.php
<html>
<body>
<textarea rows=20 cols=70>
<?php
include 'mydynamicscript.php';
?>
</textarea>
</body>
</html>
The first time a jnlp is called it is downloaded into the browser cache and javaws.exe is executed on it from that location, this in turn downloads the jnlp again from the passed codebase & href attributes into the jws cache. Subsequent calls the jnlp are extracted from the copy in the webstart cache, and often downloaded from the codebase & href attributes when it detects possible changes. In your case these jnlp files seem to differ.

Java Install from hell

While I was easily able to install the latest Java for my 64 Bit browser (IE9), such isn't the case with my 32 bit one. Instead of installing Java 7 U13 or the aforementioned, it demands to know where an earlier install MSI file is located and even if the named file is chosen, it states that it isn't the file that is needed. I have removed ( and even tried reinstalling older) versions of Java, flushed bmy browser chace and even scanned my registry but it is always the same error. Any suggestions for repairin g the matter?
It is seeking jre 7.0.09-c.msi but even when that is chosen, it says that it isn't what is needed to install 7.0.11... even if the install is for 7.0.13....

ADF Essentials RCU DB Type :   Where is " Java DB " ?

I want ADF Essentials.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/overview/adfessentials-1719844.html
I downloaded "Application Development Runtime", ofmwls_jrf_generic_12.1.1.0.0_disk1_1if1.zip , 1.5 GB.
My understanding is that this, ADF Essentials Application Development Runtime,
is Weblogic Server where the ADF Framwork is limited to the Model, View and Controller.
Just below the "Download File" button is a link entitled " Install Guide " and points to a book entitled
"Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure, 12c (12.1.2), E38451-01.
http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/INFIN/index.html ( and the PDF file has 48 pages ).
I have completed step / section 3.1.1 entitled " Installing and Configuring a Certified Database " (page 18).
http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/INFIN/create_domain.htm#BABGBHDE
3.1.1 Installing and Configuring a Certified Database
Make sure you have installed and configured a certified database, and that the database is up and running.
         Oracle JDeveloper and ADF 12c (12.1.2) Supported Systems, Last Updated: July 10, 2013
         http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/documentation/1212-cert-1964670.html
I chose Java DB and set the system variables as follows...
NAME & VALUE
VERIFICATION
JAVA_HOME = C:\PF\Java\jdk1.7.0_40
> echo %JAVA_HOME%
PATH includes %JAVA_HOME%\bin
> java -version
DERBY_HOME = %JAVA_HOME%\db
> echo %DERBY_HOME%
PATH includes %DERBY_HOME%\bin
> sysinfo
The Java DB is up and running / started as a Network Server via
           > java -jar %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbyrun.jar server start
The next step is 3.1.2 entitled Starting the Repository Creation Utility ( RCU ).
The third screen is entitled " Database Connect Details " and the first field is "Database Type" with a
pull-down menu offering 5 choices. They are...
1) Oracle
2) Oracle Database enabled for edition-based redefinition
3) Microsoft SQL Server
4) IBM DB2
5) MySQL Database
I expected " Java DB " to be one of the choices.
Where is " Java DB " ?
For the RCU Database Connection Screen, I set the fields to the following values...
DATABASE TYPE: Oracle
HOST NAME:         localhost
PORT:                   1527
SERVICE NAME:    jdbc

ROLE:                    SYSDBA
Clicked " NEXT " button and RCU Response is " IO Error: Unexpected packet ".
The Command Prompt window where Java DB was started responds as follows...

I think I can answer my own question.
Here, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/documentation/1212-cert-1964670.html
the fine print says...
" Databases
The following table identifies databases supported by JDeveloper and ADF.
JDeveloper support refers to using the modeling tools, browsing the database schema from the Database navigator, creating offline database objects, and using the SQL*Worksheet. For ADF, database support entails using the database as a data source for ADF Business Components. ".
Interpreting the text as is, the databases listed may (or may not) be supported by the RCU.
What customers are also interested in knowing is databases supported by the RCU.
On the web page for "Supported Systems",
a new Databases table with an additional column for the RCU would be an improvement.

I've 2 versions of Java installed! How can I uninstall Apple's Java 6?

This is where I'm at
* Updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
* Installed Oracle Java 7 update 7 dmg
* Misread an out of date OS X Daily blog where I got this Terminal command java -version. It lead me to think Java 7 wasn't installed
* Installed Apple Java 6 via the Java Prefs app. Thought this would somehow lead to a Java 7 upgrade along the way.
* Realised that Oracle Java 7 was installed fine the first time, but java -version doesn't work with it !!
* Now I have 2 versions of Java installed!
* I reinstalled Java 7 (this time using 7 update 10) hoping it would remove Apple's Java 6 but it didn't remove it.
*For some reason too the old Java Prefs app has been automatically deleted too, so I can't switch Apple Java 6 off.
Confirmation that I have 2 Java versions installed
If I type the terminal command java -version it says I have Apple Java 6 installed.
If I open LibreOffice/Preferences/Java it says I have Apple Java 6 installed.
If I open Play Station 3 Media Server it says it's using Apple Java 6.
If I open some other Java .jar apps like JOSM it says it's using Oracle Java 7
Oracle has a FAQ that recomnds deleteing old versions of Java, but very helpfully only gives instructions for Windows.
How can I uninstall Apple's Java 6?
Thanks

Reinstall the OS … meaning reinstall OS X?! Is that not a bit over the top?
>"BTW, do note that all you're really doing is changing the Java Runtime Environment component and not Java."
At this stage I don't have a clue what I doing !!
In the past week and a half I have had a belly-full of Java name permutations. What kind of sick, twisted mind came up with Java naming scheme: Just take the word Java and append two or three letters to it using every permutation possible, throw in a few numbers for good measure, and then when discussing it just use the generic term Java… that'll really catch 'em out.
…Java SE, Jave RE, Java JDK,Java Platform, Apple Java 6, Oracle Java 7, Java 1.6.0_27, Java 1.7.0_10, Java 6, Java 7, ….. not to mention Java FX, Java DB, Java ME, Java EE, Java DST…

I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.

How do I Use Illustrator CS 6 (16.0.4) on Mac OS 10.9 without Java Installed?

Greetings!
I have moved to a new system running Mac OS 10.9, and I am able to run Photoshop CS6 and InDesign CS6 without having Java installed on this system. Sadly, I receive the following error message when I try to start Illustrator CS6 (version 16.0.4, not the Creative Cloud edition).
To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6,” you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Would you like to install one now?
I searched the the forums and read that some users can run Illustrator CS6 without Java SE 6 (or Java 7) by removing FXGFileFormat.aip and FXGFileFormatUI.aip from Illustrator’s Plug-ins folder. Removing these plug-ins makes no difference on my system. I am still prompted to installed Java SE 6 after I try to start Illustrator CS6.
How can you use Adobe Illustrator CS 6 without having Java SE 6 installed?
Thank you for your help.

I wish I had an answer...it seems this issue is throughout my CS 6 programs. I can no longer even start a program.

"The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again."

Have an Envy M6-K010DX notebook. Due to an internet problem while upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1, the PC doesn't properly boot and Windows Explorer won't load. Decided to 'Refresh' the OS and went to the F11 restore utilities. When I go to the refresh utility and follow the prompts I reach a message that says, "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again." I've searched support for unlocking instructions and aside from some bootrec commands (that didn't work - probably because I don't have a Win 8 disk) not much is available.
The only access I have for running commands is via the Task Manager and F11 command prompt. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Does anyone have any information on this?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Its hard to say if it the data is accessable or if the file system is corrupted or not.
Recuva is a free utility to recover files that are missing due to deleting or reformatting.
Not all of the data will be recoverable now but perhaps most of it is.
If Recuva cannot detect anything, I doubt a paid program will do any better.
You can plug the old drive into a sata port on a desktop PC or you can purchase a usb adapter to use on another laptop.
If you go with a USB adapter, get one thats usb 3.O if possible.

Where is the install package stored from the app store for Lion?

This is an all new way of deploying OS updates from Apple. From what I can see, this presents some issues:
1. Where is the install package that I bought from the app store, and how can I save that offline?
2. If there's a problem with my device in the future, I have no media of Lion to restart from- so what's the procedure to restore from a TM backup? Go back to 10.6, and then to the 10.7 update?
3. What if I want to boot from disc or a drive? I don't have a copy of the install to make a bootable image.
Thanks for the help

OK, once you install Lion the Installation Package gets deleted. However once you have installed Lion, do following:
- Open the AppStore Application
- With pressed Option (on German Keyboard ALT) Key klick on the "Purchased" Tab!
- You will now see that the prviously greyed out "Install" key for Lion becomes active
- Download the install package
- Do not start installation
- In order to create a bootable DVD or USB drive containing the installer follow instructions posted on
http://www.macworld.com/article/161069/2011/07/make_a_bootable_lion_installer.ht ml
This is how you can create installation media.
For maintenance options (means your Lion installation has some problems but your drive is still OK)
you can boot from the hidden recovery partitions that was created when you installed Lion.
To do so, press the Option (ALT) Key while booting. You will have now the option to boot from
Lion or recovery partition.
Hope this helps!

Java Install error 1603 on Java 8u45

I am having issues getting Java to Install on a Windows 7 Pro PC in a stand alone environment.
Error Code 1603. Java is needed on this PC to be able to print shipping labels from FEDEX.com. I am trying to install using the administrator account. I have removed previous versions of Java. I have removed the MS updated KB2918614.
The java uninstall tool doesn't run because Java is required to run the java uninstall tool. I have run multiple Microsoft Fixit Tools. This is the second PC I have had this error with in this office. Does anyone have any thing more to offer that
might assist me. I have "Google'd" this error for 2 weeks now. Help would be greatly appreciated, Thank You!

Hi,
According to official site of Oracle, This is a known issue with Microsoft KB2918614The root causes of these errors are under investigation. If this error still persists after uninstalled this update.
You could try following zooeyhall’s suggestion to download and install a previous version of Java or try creating a new administrative user account and install Java with the new account.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/78ac199b-316b-4fbc-8b2b-2c90e5425ff0/java-install-errors
Regarding to JAVA installation error, I’d suggest that we post at JAVA forum for further support. There you can get more effective suggestion by other experts who familiar with it. Your understanding is highly appreciated.

Sneak Preview sp11 Slim Java install hangs on J2EE Startup

I looked around at the other instances of this type of error, but they seemed to be slightly different issues (or at least, at differenst steps). Tried what helped them anyway, though it didn't really help.
My install hangs at the Start J2EE Engine (step 21 of 24 normally). It seems to retry every 20 seconds, but never gets anywhere and eventually pops up an error. I've retried from there, stopped and restarted, wiped out the whole install and tried again. I've repeated this for several versions of Java, the latest being the 1.4.2_08 version. They all get to the same part and die.
This is the error right before it gets into full swing on the waiting/retrying.

My os is XP, and seems to meet the min system requirements for the slim version.
Any ideas on getting over this hump?
Edit: After talking with someone at the ICC, turns out pretty much that I shouldn't be trying to install the slim version. So, time to go find a machine that can handle the normal Java install.
Message was edited by: Cortney Denver

Looking around at other experiences as well as my own several attempts (just tried an installation on XP several times this evening), none of this stuff works and SAP could not possibly care less. A clearly deeply flawed installation has been sitting around for 5 months now... one is left to wonder what highly specific conditions are required for success.
Good luck to you... I give up.

How to retrieve the path where AE is installed?

Is there any code I can use that will return a string of an absolute path where AE is installed on its host?
Thanks,
Laz

I think it's:
Folder.appPackage
and even though the Tools Guide implies it might be MacOS-only, it does work for Windows as well. It gives you an escaped string (spaces converted to %20, etc.) of the path to the folder where the app executable is located.
