Java Web Start
Hi all,
I'm working on a project where I'm trying to deploy an evaluation version of
my app. The app is built on top of openejb/openjpa. I found a couple of
posts related to this, one that was a JIRA created (in 2005) to get openejb
working from a JWS installation (no activity at all). One other post that
seemed closely related. I'm getting an npe from
'org.apache.openejb.config.DeploymentLoader.getWebDescriptors(DeploymentLoader:1057)'
But I'm not sure the solution posted there would fit.
My system is using openejb 3.1.2, and works well outside of this issue.
Has anyone successfully deployed an app based on openejb, with JavaWebStart?
I'm not stuck to JWS either (not sure if there is an alternative), the app
can be deployed in anyway, but I don't want to pay anything to build an
evaluation install.
Is there another alternative to getting my 'embeded openejb' application
installed and running on a Windows box?

Sure, something like that would be great. Maybe even for speed in
coding and reviewing we could just come up with a flag that would
enable JWS-friendly logic and skip things like this. That way you
could change whatever you wanted and just leave the original logic
there. If the proof of concept works out we can come back later and
clean it up.

I guess another option is making an installer. Zip the distribution
and make a JWS installer which setups it up as a standard app on the
target PC. It all depends on the reason for using JWS, though.

I was not sure if I had tried the allow offline option in this version, but I
did add it in and verified, it sets the url's up the same, so I got the same
npe with this option set.

I understand. That would cause a problem because if JWS builds the
classpath with URLs then those lines could cause problems. Have you
tried enabling the "allow offline" options?
I'm not JWS expert myself, so these are just best guesses. I'm going

Hi Jacek,
Here is the stack trace down to my client code.
I will assume your working on this, I think all of the code for this problem
will be centralized in this one class, and it should be easy enough to get
refactored. If you want me to run this through my stuff I should be able to
fairly easily and will let you know what it does, and get the traces back to
you. Please keep me posted.

Hi Chris,
I think I can help you out with this. Could you send me the stack
trace you've been facing so I can track down when the issue originates
in? I've been thinking about converting the file-centric resource
handling to URLs for the OSGi endeavour myself so the issue cropped

Re: Java Web Start
Posted by chrishumphrey <ch...@parallelsw.com>.
Hi Quintin,
I'm new to Java-Web-Start, but I think the problem is, the app comes down as
pure URL's, and when openejb loads it only recognizes files (in this load).
I think the JWS stuff does in fact write the files, but they run the app
with the URL's only, there is no (known to the JVM) file. I'm looking at
converting things to not expect a file at all, just use the URL's all the
way through.
here is part of the method that causes the NPE:
protected static File getFile(URL warUrl) {
if ("jar".equals(warUrl.getProtocol())) {
String pathname = warUrl.getPath();
// we only support file based jar urls
i f (!pathname .startsWith("file:")) {
return null;
}
The 'if (!pathname .startsWith("file:")) {' return null;} --which is sent
into another method that causes the npe.
I'm not sure why this converts the URL into a file, cause the next thing it
does is converts the files back into a URL, so I think it can be removed...
I'm not sure whats around the corner though.

Re: Java Web Start
Posted by Quintin Beukes <qu...@skywalk.co.za>.
I was actually not aware there would be a problem, because our app
will also be deployed primarily with web start :/
Have you tried turning security restrictions off, ie. signing the app
and giving it full permission? The only thing i can think off
immediately about why it won't work with JWS is that it's not allowed
to access something.

Sounds good, I will spend some time on it and post when I get something.

There *is* an interest in pursuing it as there *is* a user who needed
it (and chances are there are more albeit they haven't spoken up yet)

Do what suits your needs (=make the changes as simple as possible so
you don't spend much time on it) and we make sure it won't break
openejb (via unit/integration tests and code review) so it can get
published in a official release.

Re: Java Web Start
Posted by chrishumphrey <ch...@parallelsw.com>.
Thanks for the reply Jacek,
I have found more information about this issue since posting. Basically, I
pulled the sourcecode down, and started looking through it. The problem
lies in the method getFile(URL warFile), one of the first things that method
does is checks to make sure the URL points to a real file -- on the
filesystem.
// we only support file based jar urls
if (!pathname .startsWith("file:")) {
return null;
}
This causes the npe in the original line number I posted.
So, basically, the code is working as designed/expected. I'm not sure what
all work would need to be done to support a JWS installer, but at least this
requirement would need to be changed. I did comment that code out just to
see how much more work would be needed, and it turns out there are other
places where a real file on the local fileystem is required.
If there is an interest in changing this code, and relaxing this
requirement, I may be able to find some time to work on a new solution, but
if I'm the only one who needs this I don't know that I really want to spend
the time on it, I've moved over to a native Windows installer, and it seems
to be working so far, just have 30 days now to evaluate and get all of the
installs done.
Thanks again for the reply.

Would you mind sending the entire stack trace? It'd greatly improve
our searching for a viable solution. If there'd be more than that and
we could run JWS ourselves with your help (perhaps a project with
necessary files?), that'd be even better.
