Who to create a JAR file with JSF pages ?

Hi,
I'm facing the problem of using a component that has classes and JSP files (just think in a security component, or a CRUD component, etc). So far you need to copy the jar with the classes and each JSP, each one to its directory together with other dependencies.
What are you using to package JSF's and classes ? Are you aware of some solution today for this?
Thanks in advance,
Juan

Sun's App Server allows you to precompile JSPs so you don't need the .jsp files for deployment. In the past I've also servled up precompiled JSP's from a Servlet (when the server required the .jsp file there otherwise).
For JSF, JSFTemplating allows the pages to be stored in a .jar flie directly and doesn't require any compiling. So this is very simple... this is what GlassFish is using.
I hope this helps!

  • How do you create a jar file with txt and classes?

    Hey, I'm trying to create code to create a jar file with a text file, but I can't figure out how to add the text file. Here is what I have so far:
    try {
                // Name of jar file to write
                String archiveFile = "test.jar";
                Manifest jman = new Manifest();
                try {
                    // Create a manifest from a file
                    //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                    //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                    // Construct a string version of a manifest
                    StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
                    sbuf.append("Manifest-Version: 1.0\n");
                    sbuf.append("Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1\n");
                    sbuf.append("Created-By: 1.5.0_19-137 (Apple Inc.)\n");
                    sbuf.append("Main-Class: Main\n");
                    sbuf.append("Class-Path: lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar\n");
                    sbuf.append("X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build\n");
                    // Convert the string to a input stream
                    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
                    // Create the manifest
                    jman = new Manifest(is);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(archiveFile, true);// archive file is jar file name
                JarOutputStream out = new JarOutputStream(stream, jman);
                out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("test.txt"));
                out.closeEntry();
                out.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
            }It creates the .jar file with the correct manifest but I can't get it to write the test.txt or anything else into the jar file.

    Alright, my question has changed. Here's the code:
    try {
                // Name of jar file to write
                String archiveFile = "test.jar";
                Manifest jman = new Manifest();
                try {
                    // Create a manifest from a file
                    //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                    //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                    // Construct a string version of a manifest
                    StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
                    sbuf.append("Manifest-Version: 1.0\n");
                    sbuf.append("Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1\n");
                    sbuf.append("Created-By: 1.5.0_19-137 (Apple Inc.)\n");
                    sbuf.append("Main-Class: Main\n");
                    sbuf.append("Class-Path: lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar\n");
                    sbuf.append("X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build\n");
                    // Convert the string to a input stream
                    InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
                    // Create the manifest
                    jman = new Manifest(is);
                } catch (IOException e) {
                FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(archiveFile, true);// archive file is jar file name
                JarOutputStream out = new JarOutputStream(stream, jman);
                out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("test.txt"));
                out.write("Hi".getBytes());
                out.flush();
                out.closeEntry();
                out.close();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,ex.toString(),"BUG!",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
            }It creates the jar file with the txt file inside it, but I can't write "Hi" inside of the text file. Any ideas?

  • Problems creating a jar file with eclipse

    "posted as well on the eclipse forum but who knows maybe some of you had same issue before"
    Hi Developers.
    My issue is this, i have some java files which i would like to export and use as .jar files.
    All files contains classes, the files all ends with .java extention and are contained into a java project.
    I've seen the Eclipse tutorial for this case which advise to use:
    Click on project>Export>java>jar file>Save as("verkiezingen")>Location("desktop")
    Indeed it seems successfull as i see on my desktop the .jar file and while exporting the final dialog box does not tell me "exported with warnings"
    I then try to import the jar within a project like so:
    Right click on project>Build Path> add external jar's>select jar
    all good so far as i see the new item "Referenced package" under the usual "JRE system library"
    If now, within the project i create a new class and start with import.verkiezingen;
    it gives me an error message saying "The import verkiezingen cannot be resolved"
    cant understand why, if i open the jar from the "Reference package" the classes are there.
    I will paste the code of a class within the project i've tried to export initially as jar.
    code:
    public class StemmachineException extends RuntimeException {
         public StemmachineException(){
              super();
         public StemmachineException(String s){
              super(s);
    code:
    Thank you guys

    does the class have a package 'verkiezingen'? I don't see the package statement in your source listing.
    For that matter, is the class in a subdirectory 'verkiezingen' inside the jar?
    btw 1: use code tags when posting code to prevent the forum from swallowing certain characters, and to make it far more readable
    btw 2: boooooo to non-English class names :( I hope you don't get coworkers that don't speak Dutch.

    Hi,
    I would suggest switching to NetBeans IDE. It allows for the following:
    - Ability to run with latest JDK release
    - Enabled with the latest Java technologies
    - Support for a greater number of application servers

  • I Can't Create my jar File

    I have a package called voiceexpert which contains three classes: Disease, DiagnosingEngine and Symptoms which is a JavaBean. Symptoms makes use of Disease and DiagnosingEngine objects.
    voiceexpert is stored in the directory: c:\diagapp3
    I compiled Symptoms.java as below:
    c:\diagapp3> javac -d . Symptoms.java
    The class files for Disease.java, DiagnosingEngine.java and Symptoms.java are placed in the directory: voiceexpert.
    I created a Manifest.txt file inside c:\diagapp3 containing the following:
    Main-Class:voiceexpert.voiceexpert.Symptoms
    Name:voiceexpert/Symptoms.class
    Java-Bean:True
    I later created the jar file with the command:
    jar cfm jjj.jar Manifest.txt voiceexpert\*.*
    But, I am having the error message: "*invalid header field*".
    What can I do to remove this error?
    Note: I created the Manifest.txt using utf-8 encoding. My code is to be used in a third-party application and that is why it does not contain a main method.
    The link I was referred to could not help me. I need help please!

  • Creating a JAR file in RAD

    Hello, I am creating a simple JAR file containing a group of Java classes. It is not an executable JAR file and is simply a way for me to zip up a bunch of classes I want to use in another project. The problem is, after I create it in RAD using the JAR File Export and drop it into WEB-INF/lib in my other project, it shows as a text file in my Java perspective and I can't see any of the classes.
    Is there something else I need to do with my classpath or anything like that? I recently put the Jakarta Commons JAR in the same folder and after a refresh, it showed ready to go. What am I missing here?

    Rational Application Developer, IBM's IDE. It has a
    Create JAR file utility which supposedly makes it
    easy. I'd like to use this if I can because there
    are a ton of files. I just don't know what I'm doing
    wrong after I create it.Not many people here can help with a question related specifically to an IDE. I had a problem in the past when I tried to create a JAR file with Eclipse. After trying to create the JAR file using the command line utility, I was able to better figure out my error. I strongly recommend you do the same, and post any error message(s) you receive here.

  • Signing a jar file with a java program

    Hello folks,
    It's easy to create a jar file with a java programm, but can I sign it as well with pure java code or do you have to invoke jarsigner?
    Regards
    Der Hinterwaeldler

    Well J2SE 1.x supports ZipOutputStream (jar's are zips with a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file) and www.bouncycastle.org has API's for signing etc.
    So in theory you could take a directory or an existing jar and make a jar and sign it.
    The only question is the format on how to sign them properly. I wouldn't be suprised if someone already wrote an API for this format. For example BouncyCastle supports S/MIME and PGP, but I don't know what is the format for jars.

  • Jar files with digital signature -pl help

    Hi there
    is there anybody who will help me guiding step by step how to create a jar file (executable) with digital signature?
    thanks in advance.

    Sorry, digital signatures have nothing to do with decompilation security. The short answer is, there's nothing you can do about it. Search the forum for 'obfuscator', a lot of people have asked the same question.

  • App runs in Eclipse environment but not from jar file with no error message

    When I upgraded my jre to 5.0 my app does not run. After fixing the properties problem I had a few days ago it is now at least compiling and running within Eclpse
    However, when I export to a jar file it runs to a certain point and then just goes away with no error message!!! I've narrowed it down to the exact point where it dies but don't understand why it dies and especially gives me no errors whatsoever. It just goes away.
    It is creating an instance of a new class when it dies.
    Can someone please help me?

    Ok, well it doesn't. Anyway, I'm still having the same problems. I can run my jar file to a certain point and then the application just stops. I know this because I've put come message boxes in the application to let me know where in the app the system is.
    It always dies when it is instantiating the new class called HeidiFrame; done by:
    HeidiFrame heidiFrame = null;
    if I put code in between the above line and before the below line, this code will work fine
    heidiFrame = new HeidiFrame();
    but if I put code after the above line, nothing happens
    As I said this all worked fine until I upgraded to Java 1.5
    If you look at http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/compatibility.jsp there are 23 compatibility issues with the new release. We're using xml stuff so that was my first problem and the code wouldn't even compiile. Once I added in libraries, the code compiled and ran beautifully.
    However, when creating my jar file so I can deploy this application , I've discovered that the jar file will only run to a certain point, as I've stated previously. So, that's my problem. Not that I can't run it from the command prompt, which I can't, but it's a gui application. I've tried changing things in the classpath file and the manifest to no avail. Nothing changes. The application starts but when it goes to instantiate the HeidiFrame class, which is the class that actually builds the gui it dies and goes bye bye.

  • How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

    How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
    When I create the project I get these files:
    dist/lib/libreria1.jar

    The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
    libreria1/libreria1.jar
    libreria2/libreria2.jar
    libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
    I added the following code to the build.xml:

  • How can I create a jar file that will run automatically on double click

    all the jars I created run only from the command-line.
    how can I make it run by double-click on it?

    First you will need to associate .jar files with the javaw.exe program in order to just be able to double click on the jar and run it from within a windows explorer application. Next you will need to set the main class attribute of the manifest file. My understanding is that the value of this attribute is used by the launcher to know which class to load. In other words, which is your main application class. To specify this attribute open your manifest file in a text editor. You will find this file located within the jar at META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. Then, add the line,
    "Main-Class:<relative path to the main class>" However, remember not to add the .class extension to the end of the class name.
    In Windows 2000 you can associate jar files with javaw by finding a jar file in Windows Explorer and right clicking it. This will give you a context menu which should have an Open With... option (if you are not using Windows 2000 and don't see the 'open with' menu item, try holding down the shift button while right click on the file). Select the Open With... option, then, when the dialog appears highlight javaw and select the "Always use this program to open these files" checkbox. When you hit the OK button you should have all your jar files associated with the javaw process.
    Once you've done this, you should be able to double click on your jar file and run your application.

    can somebody help me with this situation:

    How do I do this?
    "And you have to name that package as well when you name the main class in the manifest. "
    But, as I have told the name of the package is SetiNo, you just told us that the name of your class is Set. You never told us about the name of the package.
    Simples question possible: Does your class look something like this:
    package Seti;
    // maybe there are some import statements here, maybe not
    public class Seti {
      // maybe there's something here, maybe not
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        // anything
    }If so, then the fully qualified name of your class is "Seti.Seti" and you need to write that into the Main-Class attribute. (*)
    If there is no package-Statement, then the fully qualified name of your class is simply "Seti" and the Main-Class attribute is correct, but your classes are in the wrong place.
    Edit:
    (*) Please note that package names should generally be all-lowercase, so it should be "seti" instead of "Seti". This helps distinguish it from the simple names of classes, so it's easy to see what you are talking about at a glance: "seti" would be the package, "Seti" the class name.
