Where is the Applet JAR file?

When an Applet (the JAR) is downloaded to the local PC, exactly where (the directory) we can locate the Applet JAR file? Is the file managed by the Internet browser?

This has got to be browser-specific.
You shouldn't write code that depends on this kind of information anyway.

I cannot find in any jar finder the JMS jar file for CEP.
I mean the jar file which includes com.bea.wlevs.adapters.jms.api.InboundMessageConverter, com.bea.wlevs.adapters.jms.api.OutboundMessageConverter, etc.
Does anybody know the link?
Thanks!

Thanks, but it is not there.

Cipher.getInstance closes Applet JAR file.

I am trying to use a Cipher in a signed Applet in java plugin-1.4 under I.E. Once I execute a Cipher.getInstance the applet jar file is closed and I cannot create any new classes that havent been previously loaded from it. The classloader ends up returning an "IlleagleStateException: Zip file closed".
Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Perhaps a way to re-open the JAR file.
I have been combing the FAQ's without finding any other refrences to the problem.

I haven't found a solution to the original problem but for someone else that is looking for a workaround for this. I found that if I use two JAR with my Cipher in the second one, I can still load class files out of the first. I.E. <PARAM NAME = java_archive VALUE = "supportClasses.jar,mainApplet.jar"> where mainApplet.jar contains the code that uses the Cipher.

Multiple repeat downloads of applet jar file

We have an applet that is downloaded from a Weblogic server. The applet is packaged as a jar file. Some of the testers have been complaining that the applet is extremely slow to start up.
The applet start-up involves three phases. In a first phase, it fetches data from the server. This phase seems to execute in pretty much constant time. During the second and third phases, it constructs a UI using Swing objects. The UI includes some JPEG files, which are extracted from the applet's own jar file.
Testers report that the slow part of start-up is actually the UI setup. This should theoretically not be network-bound at all. But packet tracing reveals that during this phase, there's a large amount of network traffic going on. It turns out that there are multiple GET requests for the applet jar file being issued. Typically, 29 requests are issued in all; just for reference, the applet is required to extract 28 images from its jar file, so it looks as if the additional requests correspond to image requests.
One further detail: this does not occur where there is a fast connection to the server. In these cases, the applet is downloaded once. It looks as if the problem only occurs on slower network connections, and the speculation here is that the applet jar is somehow being downloaded only partially, so that requests for images somehow trigger a re-request of the jar file.
Has anyone seen anything similar and, more to the point, is there a fix or workaround?
Technical details: Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0, JRE version 1.4.2_01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (on the client), WebLogic 8.1 (on the server)
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok.
I have been trying hard and found the solution. One of the ablove posting says that it works under java 1.4.1 plug-in. That's infact absolutely true. It also says that how to run client using JRE 1.4.2 or higher. That can be solved two. This is definitely a bug with the 1.4.2 plug-in.
Follow this procedure that will solve the mystry.
----------------------start ---------------------------------
Problem
Download of applet is very slow
Why?
This was happening because of the repeated download of the applet jars by the applet plug in controller. It is quite clear that the Java 1.4.2 plug in controller has a bug that causes the plug in to download same jar files multiple times irrespective of Jar cache in the client side (configurable from client side using the Java plug in control panel) is enabled or disabled. Therefore, we have moved from 1.4.2 plug in to 1.4.1 (controlled from our client (JSP) code) that works fine.
What the client (applet client) should do?
You must do the following in the client side in order to avoid the long download time for applet when running from a browser. We have also found that the browser actually do not matter in slow applet downloads. It is only the plug in that does control the applet download.
Irrespective of what JVM you have already installed (or not yet installed) please do the following:
1. Download the JRE 1.4.2 from http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html
-At the time of its installation if it shows that the "JRE is already installed do you uninstall it?" Go ahead and uninstall the JRE 1.4.2. After the un-installation again install the JRE 1.4.2
-If it does not have the JRE 1.4.2 already installed, then you will see any warning window and you will be able to install the 1.4.2 JRE successfully.
2. Now, go to the same link and install JRE 1.4.1.
-If this JRE already installed, uninstall first like the step 1 above. then reinstall it.
3. Now, after successful installation of the JRE 1.4.1, open the Plug-In control panel.
-You will find the list of control panel(s) in the Start->Control Panel window. Use the control panel that shows the version number 1.4.1. If no version number shown then use the one that do not show any version number at its end.
4. Do the following on the Plug-In control panel.
-Verify if this is the 1.4.1 plug in control panel? Go to the "About" tab to see if it shows 1.4.1.
If it does not show the 1.4.1 (or 1.4.1_x) then plug in was not installed correctly. Reinstall the 1.4.1 JRE following the step in no-2
-Go to "Basic" tab and select "Show console" radio button.
-Go to "Advanced" tab and from the drop down select "JRE ...1.4.2" from the "Java Runtime Environment" drop down box.
-Go to "Browser" tab and select all that in the "Settings" box applicable for browsers.
-Go to "Cache" select "Enable Caching" if it is not selected currently. Select "Unlimited" from "Size" options.
Now hit "Apply" button at the bottom and close the control panel using the 'X'.
5. Restart your Windows machine.
6. You are ready to run the applet from any of the browser (IE, NS, etc.)

Question about Java Applet Jar file signing.

These questions pertain to Java 6 Standard Edition 1.6.0_22-b04 and later.
I have gone through the Oracle Java Tutorial for generate public and private key information
to sign a jar file, and how to sign the jar itself, all at
[http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/signed.html|http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/signed.html]
, and seek some clarification on the following related questions:
-In order to "escape" the java applet sandbox that exists around the client's
copy of the applet running in their web browser, ie.
(something forbidden by default), is verification of the signed applet enough, or is a policy file required
to stipulate these details?
-using the policytool policy file generator, what do I need to add under "Principals"
(if anything) when dealing with a Java applet? Are Codebase and SignedBy simply author information?
-If I choose to use a java.security.Permission subclass object set up in equivalent fashion within the Applet,
which class within the Applet jar do I instantiate that object in? Does it need to be mentioned
in the applet's jar Manifest.MF file?
-Is the "keystore database" a java language service/process which runs in
the Server's memory and is simply accessed and started by default
by the client verifier program (appletview/web browser)?
-The public key certificate file (*.cer) is put in the webserver directory holding
the Applet jar file (ie. Apache Tomcat, for example).
-Presumably, the web browser detects the signed jar
and certificate file, and provides the browser pop up menu asking the user
about a new, non recognised certificate (initially).
Is this so?
-With this being the case, can the applet now escape
the sandbox, be it with or without the stipulated
policy permissions?

by the client verifier program (appletview/web browser)?No.
-The public key certificate file (*.cer) is put in the webserver directory holding
the Applet jar file (ie. Apache Tomcat, for example).No. For a signed Jar, all the information is contained inside the Jar.
-Presumably, the web browser detects the signed jar
and certificate file, and provides the browser pop up menu asking the user
about a new, non recognised certificate (initially).
Is this so?No. It is the JVM that determines when to pop the confirmation dialog.
-With this being the case, can the applet now escape
the sandbox, ..Assuming the end-user OK's the trust prompt, yes.
..be it with or without the stipulated
policy permissions?Huh?

SIP Where can I find (JSR 180 Package - the actual jar files)

Hey guys I have been looking for this for hours I'm up to my ears in lovely documentation and samples where can I find the actual jar file of an implementation of the SIP API for J2ME.
Thank you in advnace Brian

jjsomer,
Unfortunately, we offer no such installer package. The closest thing to
what you desire is the LabVIEW Device Drivers CD which comes with
LabVIEW. It will install all hardware drivers. Another option would be
to write a batch file to run the installers in silent mode. Searching
ni.com for "silent install" should yeild several results for installing
our software products and device drivers without user interaction.
Good luck!

Applet jar file

I have an applet embedded in a jsp as follows
<applet code="MyApplet.class" archive="client.jar" height="1" id="APface" name="APIface" width="1" mayscript="true">
</applet>
Now as mentions MyApplet.class is archived in the client.jar file. I am running the application of websphere. Now whats happeneing is the the jsp is located in <proj>/web Content/html directory. What I have to do is to run the application is to put the jar file in this folder too. What I want to do is to put the jar file in the web-inf/lib folder instead of putting it here. how could I do that?

yes, or in a jar specified in the archive parameter...
Are your classes in a package? I would generally set
up this type of structure:
/mainWebDir/
/mainWebDir/appletWebPage.html (or .jsp)
/mainWebDir/applets/
/mainWebDir/applets/classes/
/mainWebDir/applets/classes/*.class <-- loose
non-packaged classes
/mainWebDir/applets/classes/the/package/dirs/*.class
<-- loose packaged classes
/mainWebDir/applets/lib/*.jar
<applet class="MainClass.class"
codebase="applets/classes"
archive="./applets/lib/a.jar, ./applets/lib/b.jar" >My directory structure is as follows
MyProject/JavaSource contains all the java code
MyProject/webContent/html contains the html files and the jsp's. This is where the jar files were placed originally used by the applet. But what I have done is replaced the jar files with class files now in their respective hierarchy.
MyProject/webContent/WEB-INF/lib contains all the jar files
MyProject/webContent/WEB-INF/classes contains all the compiled code.
SO should I move all the class files used by the applet to the html folder. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Welcome to the Sun forums.
Subject: My Applet Jar file doesn't work !! .
1) Note that one '!' denotes exclamation, whereas 2 or more often denotes a dweeb.
2) Since you are on your first post, I will point out that applets are an advanced topic, and should not be attempted by newbies.
3) "doesn't work" is very vague. It is likely to produce a reply like "maybe the applet is lazy - try flogging it".

What is the URL where I can see your applet failing?
As an aside, since Sun does not guarantee that applet clients will act on the showDocument command, even if it does not work, it would not be a 'bug'.

Who knows where does IE6 cache jar files?

who knows where does IE6 cache jar files?
I don't know why IE6 can't show my new version applet in jar file.I have try to delete all the temporary file by use tools->options->delete temporary files.but it does't work.who can tell me what should i do? thank you,

Well in that case...I would hope it was cached in the browser...did you look at objects in the cache in (Tools, Internet Options....) in IE?

Multiple download of the same JAR file

We have a collection of applets packaged in a single JAR file. Some users (web developers that use our applets) have been complaining that the applet is extremely slow to start up.
When the html page includes more than one applet from the same JAR file then, "ONLY IN SOME CASES", the JAR file is downloaded multiple times.
By capturing network traffic we can also think that the JAR file is downloaded even when accessing an image packaged in the applet's own JAR file.
One further detail: this "DOES NOT OCCUR" when there is a fast connection to the server (or at leat it seems so). In these cases, the JAR file is downloaded once. It looks as if the problem only occurs on slower network connections.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Mmm... I don't think this is the solution... all the applets share a lot of classes (the big part of the JAR files).
But my question is....: why in some cases the JAR is downloaded more than once???

What are the basic .jar files to be set in web dynpro project classpath

Hi,
I am having a problem while customizing the ESS. I used DTR, DC and imported configuration. After that, I created project from one of the DC(say ess/jp/addr). Later when I open an iView from any Web Dynpro component, I am getting lot of errors without even making any modifications.
I closed the project and reopened it and reload & rebuilt, but it doesn't solved my problem. In my classpath settings I couldn't find any jar files except the jre_lib. Could you please let me know what are the basic jar files we have to set in classpath and where to get them from. We are using NWDS 7.0.06 version.
Can you please let me know how to solve this or any other way to work around this.
It's an urgent to be fixed as early as possible, plz help me out.

Hi John,
I am working on development an enterprise application using EJB 3.0 on Weblogic 10.
While developing, I am keeping all my classes (from ejb's as well as web) into APP-INF/classes directory. It is working fine for Web and ejb 2.0 packages, but ejb 3.0 packages, I get the following error when I keep my ejb 3.0 beans classes in APP-INF/classes directory.
No EJBs found in the ejb-jar file 'customer'. Please ensure the ejb-jar contains EJB declarations via an ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor or at least one class annotated with the @Stateless, @Stateful or @MessageDriven EJB annotation.
One solution is to keep the classes under customer ejb directory, but I wan tto keep all the classes in APP-INF/classes directory so that when using Eclipse IDE I can output all compiled sources into APP-INF/classes directory.
Has anyone faced this situation? Any suggestions to fix this issue?

How to load an applet jar file?

Hello everyone,
I have an applet that uses my own jar file and approximately 6 third party jar files. I set up jar indexing (jar -i) which will download the jar files when they are needed. All seems to work well, but now I want to manually load the jar files which I cannot get working.
When the applet starts, about 1/2 of the jar files are downloaded (because they are needed at startup). I then want to load the additional jar files in the background, after the gui is initialized. I have tried this using the below thread which is executed from within the applet's start method:
// Try to load additional jar files in background by loading a class from each jar file.
Thread loadClass = new Thread() {
public void run() {
    System.out.println("Loading classes...");
    try {
      // Tried loading classes this way, doesn't work.
      getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("pkg1.Class1");
      getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("pkg2.Class2");
      getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("pkg3.Class4");
      getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass("pkg4.Class4");
      /* Loading classes this way doesn't work either.
      Class.forName("pkg1.Class1");
      Class.forName("pkg2.Class2");
      Class.forName("pkg3.Class3");
      Class.forName("pkg4.Class4");
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
      // First attempt to load a class (pkg1.Class1) throws exception.
      System.out.println("Can't find class: " + e.getMessage());
loadClass.start();As you can see from above I am trying to load a class from each of the jar files so that the jar files would load into memory/cache. Unfortunately, it cannot find the classes. These are the errors from the java console:
Loading classes...
Loading: pkg1.Class1
Connecting http://my.server.com/my_dir/pkg1/Class1.class with no proxy
Connecting http://my.server.com/my_dir/pkg1/Class1.class with cookie "JSESSIONID=some_big_long_char_list"
Can't find class: pkg1.Class1
So it appears the jar file is not being downloaded. When I take away the dynamic jar loading (removing the "jar -i" & adding them all to the applet archive list) the thread executes correctly. So I know the class names, etc, are correct. How does one load an applet jar file?
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

The above error I posted was because I forgot to index the jar files. That is why it couldn't find the jar file. I thought I was getting farther along with my problem, but I apparently just forgot to index the jars. I am now getting the problem that I got yesterday...
The applet freezes/hangs when it hits the thread. The GUI never opens (even though I'm running this thread right after the gui shows). The java console quits responding and the applet just stays the grey screen. I also tried the invoke later that you suggested.
public void start() {
// ...initialize gui...
// Applet freezes and remains grey, also the java console freezes.
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
      System.out.println("Loading classes...");
      try {
        // When I comment out the below forName calls, the thread will still run evidenced through the done print statement.
        Class.forName("pkg1.Class1");
     Class.forName("pkg2.Class2");
     Class.forName("pkg3.Class3");
     Class.forName("pkg4.Class4");
        System.out.println("...Done loading classes");
      catch(Exception e)     {
        System.out.println("Can't find class: " + e.getMessage());
}

Where is the Applet JAR file?
