Load jars from client machine

Soofi Apr 2, 2014 7:06 AM

My application loads some 15 Jars from the server, which slows down the entire process.

I need to Load the Jars from a local machine.

I want to store the Jar files in the client machine and not in the server.

So that every time when a client need to run my application by a URL specified, the Jar file stored in his system should load.

Is there any way to achieve this.

Thanks in advance

Maybe Java Web-Start is what you need?

I don't like to guess. HOW is your application loading 15 jars from a server? Is it an applet? Is it already webstarted?

No, Actually we are running oracle forms 10g with additional jars(other than oracle supplied jars)

so you're using an applet. Check the JInitiator documentation, which is almost certainly where you need to look.

I want to load my jar files other than the default location (i.e., \forms\java).

Is it possible to load my jar files from the desktop?
How can I configure my formsweb.cfg or default.env file?

If i tend to change the archive in formsweb.cfg as below
C:\.....\Desktop\java1\frmall.jar,

I got the following error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: name
at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2ClassLoader.addJar(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2Manager.loadJarFiles(Unknown Source)
at sun.plugin2.applet.Plugin2Manager$AppletExecutionRunnable.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source).

Regards,
Soofi

It would be a -huge- security hole if that were possible.

Create an installer.
Give that to your users. All of them.
Have them run it - they must run it themselves.
Put the jars in the /jre/lib/ext directory. Your installer of course must find the jre.

Naturally each time you update the jars then you will need to create a new installer and your users will need to run it again.
