ZipException When Web Start is Downloading JAR file

We are experiencing a problem when we try to download our Java Web Start app remotely from the server using HTTPS.
It works fine when using HTTP.
There are a couple of JAR files that need to downloaded.
But, when using HTTPS it will choke on random JAR files and will toss the
following exception:
JNLPException[category: Download Error : Exception: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file : LaunchDesc: null ]
     at com.sun.javaws.cache.DownloadProtocol.doDownload(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.javaws.cache.DownloadProtocol.getResource(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.javaws.LaunchDownload.downloadJarFiles(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.javaws.LaunchDownload.downloadEagerorAll(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.downloadResources(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.handleApplicationDesc(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.handleLaunchFile(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.run(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Does anyone have any ideas of what we might be bumping into here?
Any ideas for a fix or workaround?
I've search the bug database and the one that is matches most closely
is 6194024 but that does not target HTTPS specifically.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
B

Is there a wrapped exception ?
what are the versions of j2se and Java Web Start you are using ?

    You need to purchase an external drive and start moving some files to it or you can try trashing some files that you no longer need.
    Download OmniDiskSweeper and see where your larger files are... you can move them to an external drive or trash them: it's up to you.
    I would also begin, since it's obviously don't have backups, a backup scheme or two. See Most commonly used backup methods.
    Good luck,

  • Hi, We have an application  built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1. When we try to download a file(.pvw file) in that application safari throws "Download failed" error. Please suggest what needs to be done.

    Hi,
    We have an application  built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1.
    When a file url is clicked instead of asking for Save or Open or Cancel options, the file gets opened on IPad by default.
    Is this default behaviour which cannot be changed or can it be configured to ask user preference?
    When we try to download a file(.pvw file -> a model file) in the above application, safari throws "Download failed" error.
    Please suggest what needs to be done.
    Regards,
    Pramod

    Safari on an iPad in general does not allow downloading of files. That's a safety precaution in the iOS SDK to keep unauthorized content off of iOS devices. Safari will open from the web site file types that it can handle, but direct downloading isn't normal behavior, and I don't believe the behavior can be changed, though you can try asking in the developer forum, either here or the one to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.
    Regards.

  • Getting Exception in JWS while downloading jar files from server

    Hi All,

    Are you able to download your *.jar files directly from server
    For example say,
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/test/testme.jarIf yes,
    Then problem should be with your *.jnlp file. Check all your *.jar with respect to context location of your url from where you are downloading *.jnlp file

  • Location of downloaded .jar files?

    When I was using the java in the jre package, downloaded .jar files would go to ~/.java  I have switched to the openjdk6 package and I have no idea where downloaded .jar files go now... it seems as though they are cached in memory and not saved to disk at all.  Are they saved somewhere?

    openjdk and jre don't do the same.
    openjdk is a jdk (Java Development Kit) and jre is Java Runtime Environment.
    And the files should be downloaded into your download directory which you've either set manually or is maybe $HOME/Download.

  • Where the javaws stores downloaded jar files?

    I met problem to start jnlp file in command line. System shows me error like "file system is full". So, I wonder where the javaws stores downloaded jar file. And how can I change it to an available directory. Thank you.

    <if necessary>
    - Close the application viewer/Change to the 'General' tab
    </if necessary>
    - Click the Temporary Internet Files 'Settings' button.
    - Click the 'Change' button to move the cache, and follow the prompts
    Of course, in that same dialog are controls for changing the compression level, and adjusting the maximum size, of the JWS cache - you are probably better off trying that first.

  • Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?

    Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader.
    This problem just started a few weeks ago.
    I am still using Snow Leopard.
    I have tried using Firefox instead of Safari, but still get the black screen.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Need to download JAR files from more than ONE HTTP-server ?

    Hello,
    We have a need to download JAR files for an application, from more than ONE HTTP-server, i.e. any specified HTTP-server in an extremely secure network.
    Does a solution exist for this requirement ? Is it possible to design a solution our selfes for this problem ?
    Best Regards
    Peter

    We have a need to download JAR files for an
    application, from more than ONE
    HTTP-server, That can be done using the extension element
    from within the resources element of the main JNLP.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javaws/developersguide/syntax.html#resources
    The extension element should refer to another JNLP
    (on the other site) that refers to the Jars. The jar files
    in any such (foreign) JNLP need to be signed, and the
    JNLP files should declare itself as a <component-desc>.
    For any level of detail on using extensions/components,
    download the spec. mentioned in the second paragraph
    of that section linked above. Unfortunately I can find no
    web browsable form of the information.
    Here is an example though..
    http://www.javasaver.com/testjs/jws/04/glclock.jnlp
    This (sandboxed) screenaver demo comes off my
    javasaver site. It refers to the JOGL API via an
    extension element in the JNLP, that points directly
    to the JOGL site. You might notice the security
    warning that is produced mentions..
    Name:      JOGL
    Publisher: sun microsystems, inc
    Source:    https://jogl.dev.java.net
    ..i.e. any specified HTTP-server in an
    extremely secure network. I do not know about an extremely secure network,
    but if it is OK to launch a normal JNLP for an
    application with a 'main()' from the server, I guess
    it should be OK to launch extensions off it - you
    might need to set up some tests.

  • Firfox is ceashing when I attepmt to download a file. Everything works until I close Firfox and then attempt to re-open the browser then it crashes. I tried deleting the download file in my profile folder but it didn't work.

    Firefox is crashing when I attempt to download a file. Everything works until I close Firefox and then attempt to re-open the browser then it crashes. I tried deleting the download file in my profile folder but it didn't work.

    Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
    (A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)

    I can not download any files using Safari ? when I choose to download application file the URL include the file name and stop responding. Any help??

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
