Cannot run Jar file

Can you please select that as text and post it as text (code)? Or even easier, he he - attach the bat file ;)

Thanks for your comments.

I could not attach the bat file, so i have copied it here

start javaw -cp behsa-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar;dependency/poi-scratchpad-3.14.jar;dependency/javax.inject-1.jar;dependency/reactfx-1.4.1.jar;dependency/commons-codec-1.10.jar;dependency/commons-dbcp-1.4.jar;dependency/curvesapi-1.03.jar;dependency/guice-4.0.jar;dependency/controlsfx-8.40.10.jar;dependency/aopalliance-1.0.jar;dependency/guice-multibindings-4.0.jar;dependency/stax-api-1.0.1.jar;dependency/guava-16.0.1.jar;dependency/xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar;dependency/commons-pool-1.5.4.jar;dependency/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.14.jar;dependency/poi-ooxml-3.14.jar;dependency/jcalendar-1.4.jar;dependency/slf4j-simple-1.7.21.jar;dependency/slf4j-api-1.7.21.jar;dependency/poi-3.14.jar;dependency/jtds-1.3.1.jar com.behsa.Main

That's an odd command line – it looks like absolutely nothing happened with no errors. Is that actually what happens (or what doesn't happen)?

Can you please try that without the 'start'?

when I run that bat nothing happens

I ran the cmd like so, but still nothing happens

As @CEHJ mentioned, this command looks very strange.

I might be wrong, as it's been decades since I used Windows...

As best I recall ";" separates commands, so the command above really means...

Run your string above as many commands, where each ";" breaks the string + runs the dependency/... path as a command, which will almost certainly fail.

Maybe this is somehow different today.

Normally I'd approach this by using a custom $CLASSPATH setting.

Can you please save this as z.bat and tell me what happens when you run it?

echo Hi Zolf

Select allOpen in new window

C:\behsa>echo Hi Zolf
Hi Zolf

C:\behsa>

Select allOpen in new window

As best I recall ";" separates commands, so the command above really means...

On *nix shells yes. On Windows it's the path separator and thus is correct for a classpath. I think there could be something going on with non-execution of batch files, period

C:\behsa>z.bat

C:\behsa>echo Hi Zolf
Hi Zolf

C:\behsa>

Select allOpen in new window

OK, my theory was wrong ;)

Can you (I hope you know how to do copy and paste with cmd.exe) copy that entire command, paste it into the terminal and execute it manually?

I am following Reamme instruction to prepare the app, below I have copied the instruction

# create a properties file `~/.config/behsa/behsa.properties`

example:

    dbhost=192.168.1.100
    dbname=dbform
    username=sa
    password=321321
    #output.dir should be absolute path
    output.dir=/home/techno/.config/behsa/output
    #if you are facing a problem viewing Excel files, you can set path to Excel viewer manually
    excel.viewer=/usr/bin/soffice

    bartender.host=192.168.1.106
    bartender.serials.port=1024
    bartender.aggregs.port=1025

## build the app

    cd behsatnt
    mvn clean package

## run on windows

* build the app as on previous point
* create a folder `C:/behsa`
* copy `$project_root/behsa.bat`, `$project_root/target/dependency`, `$project_root/target/behsa-1.0-SHAPSHOT.jar` to `C:/behsa` folder
* create the properties file as on this README
* create a shortcut on Windows Desktop and point it to `C:/behsa/behsa.bat`
* double click the shortcut

## run via webstart

you run a webserver somewhere in your net. Create a folder `behsa` so that it's available as
`http://WEBSERVER_ADDRESS:PORT/behsa` and this address is mapped to, say `/var/lib/webserver/behsa/`.

* copy `src/main/resources/behsa.jnlp` to `/var/lib/webserver/behsa/`
* copy `depsigned/*` to `/var/lib/webserver/behsa/dependency/`
* build the app as on previous point
* copy `target/behsa-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar` to `/var/lib/webserver/`
* start the app on any machine from your net: `javaws http://WEBSERVER_ADDRESS_PORT/behsa/behsa.jnlp`

## get updates and rebuild

    cd behsatnt
    git pull
    mvn clean package

I have a feeling it has to do with this .config folder, it cannot read this file to get db connection

OK. We might have a MAX_PATH issue possibly. Hang on…

Not sure this will be much better, but have a try:

set D=dependency
start javaw -cp behsa-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar;%D%/poi-scratchpad-3.14.jar;%D%/javax.inject-1.jar;%D%/reactfx-1.4.1.jar;%D%/commons-codec-1.10.jar;%D%/commons-dbcp-1.4.jar;%D%/curvesapi-1.03.jar;%D%/guice-4.0.jar;%D%/controlsfx-8.40.10.jar;%D%/aopalliance-1.0.jar;%D%/guice-multibindings-4.0.jar;%D%/stax-api-1.0.1.jar;%D%/guava-16.0.1.jar;%D%/xmlbeans-2.6.0.jar;%D%/commons-pool-1.5.4.jar;%D%/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.14.jar;%D%/poi-ooxml-3.14.jar;%D%/jcalendar-1.4.jar;%D%/slf4j-simple-1.7.21.jar;%D%/slf4j-api-1.7.21.jar;%D%/poi-3.14.jar;%D%/jtds-1.3.1.jar com.behsa.Main

It's got to be said though, that since you're using Maven, you should be starting with exec:java. See example of that in pom.xml below:

Lets try to run the app from the eclipse first and see if it runs from there. I setup the app in eclipse and when I try to run the app I get this error. Can you please help me, I know I am jumping around.

Can you please attach your pom.xml
And yes, you definitely have runtime errors too

here you go, but if you want I can send you the complete src

pom.xml


Main.java

OK, more in a few minutes, I have something that must be done. In the meantime, try to sort out your runtime errors.

Look also at lines 25-32 of my pom. You should have those in yours so you can invoke exec:java and start your app

OK, more in a few minutes, I have something that must be done.  

cheers mate

 In the meantime, try to sort out your runtime errors.

I managed to resolve that issue. It seems to be the version of controlfx and java version conflict. I updated the controlfx version from 8.40.10 to 8.40.11 and I am able to run the app in eclipse

Look also at lines 25-32 of my pom. 

it seems you did not attache the pom. I will wait  

it seems you did not attache the pom. I will wait  

I pasted it in THIS

Can you please link to the source: please cd to the project directory then:

jar cvfM src.zip pom.xml src

Select allOpen in new window

and post a link to src.zip

I did not understand. Do you mean I send you the src folder??

I mean do what i asked: run that command and please post a link to the resulting src.zip file

can i email you the src.zip 

CEHJ sent you the link in EE message

Got it

Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aZkIL-8idL1BUX9vCRuGUJxtk6EcZGcq/view?usp=sharing

You should be able to run that with

java -jar <the snapshot>

Select allOpen in new window

as it's a shaded jar. I've included the altered pom.xml. Back up your own and copy mine into your project to overwrite your original

Your execution args are numerous so it will be a bit tricky to use exec:java but it could probably be done. Check Maven's exec.args
Oh and please let me know as soon as you've downloaded it as it takes up quite a bit of space and should go ;)
PS: I had to comment out the jarsigning stage as my environment is different. You need to reinstate that in the pom

Thanks, can you please give me access to that file

Managed to download the jar file. Do I unzip it or run the jar

You can run it, but see above about pom.xml

double clicking on the bat file I managed to run the app. But can you please tell me what do i need to do with my pom file. What was the issue, can you please elaborate. appreciate your help

Well if it's working, you probably don't need to do anything with it ;). I don't quite get why it's suddenly working though…

please see the screenshot. When I run the bat it runs the app but when I run the java -jar cmd I get this error. What am I doing wrong??

You can only do

java -jar

Select allOpen in new window

with my jar to run it. That's not my jar is it?

with my jar to run it. That's not my jar is it?

I was running your jar

Obviously you have to put the name of the jar file in as the argument - what would you be running otherwise? ;)
You also didn't answer my question about whether that's my jar or not

let me restart my machine as I am not able to delete the snapshot jar 

Keep my jar in a different place entirely - it's entirely self-sufficient and shouldn't be confused with yours

ok I am back.

After restarting windows I managed to del the snapshot jar file. Then I again run this cmd

mvn clean package

Select allOpen in new window

the jar was created and when I compare that to your jar the size of my jar is 110KB and yours is 22,196KB. So, it seems my jar is not getting packed with all the jars. guessing!!

Now I want to know what is the issue with my pom and do i just replace my pom with the pom you provided above?? 

Ok, this time I replaced my jar with your jar and when I run bat the app runs but when I run the jar with java -jar snapshot.jar i get error. why??

I've included the altered pom.xml. Back up your own and copy mine into your project to overwrite your original

Can you please provide the pom file again so i can again run the

 mvn clean package 

Select allOpen in new window

with your pom.xml and do I need to sign the jars??

CEHJ,
Thanks so much managed to run it as expected. Appreciate your time and help!!.

That's good. As to whether you need to sign it or not - I don't know. If you're not sure, you probably don't ;)

:)
