Hi all,

I'm having issues with a jar program not executing properly under slackware... We've come to the conclusion that the OS is not letting the prog do something...

we've tried running the jar, extracting and running the main jar class... all with the following errors... seamingly to do with security...

a collugue has help me gather these errors so exactly where they came from i don't know...

"when running java run (or ./setupLinux) (this isn't using the files built in JRE)


GUI ERROR: isCurrentUserAdmin requires platform pack support.
CODE ERROR: ProductException: (error code = 401; message="The product bean "PRT_ACTION_BEAN_ID" could not be loaded because the following exception occurred:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.ibm.ismp.beans.PRT.PRTAction")
at com.installshield.product.service.product.PureJavaProductServiceImpl.initializeTree(PureJavaProductS erviceImpl.java:60)


The errors are security related from:
[Loaded java.security.AccessControlException from /usr/lib/j2re1.4.1_02/lib/rt.jar]


when running java -jar setupLinux.jar
while loading a zip file a ZipException is thrown.
[Loaded sun.security.action.LoadLibraryAction from /usr/lib/j2re1.4.1_02/lib/rt.jar]"

************************

Now I know this jar works with redhat but not suse so far.. and i was thinking that maybe some security setting or other was preventing the jar from performing it's initial checks (such as checking the current user).


Please please help as the prog installs some files which aren't available in any other format ...

Have you got the latest java runtime?

Yeah latest slack package from the extra CD... 1.4.1

Besides it comes with a bundled jvm...

It works under redhat (which doesn't have jvm installed)

It must therefore be an OS... and mebbe more specifically a security issue...

I ended up installing Blackdown Java from http://www.blackdown.com/ and that ended up running with Mozilla, Netscape, and Konqueror. You may want to give that a try.

Doing a lot of development work in java for school I used the default Java Runtime from the sun site... I had to use the 1.3.1 API so we had a stable base to code in but I never had any problems with the plugins for Nutscrape or Mozilla.
