OCI 7.0.2 Java UI and Java version issues

Hi,

 

some OCI 7.0.2 users are notifyng me that they're not be able to run Java UI from the "coffee cup" link on the OCI web portal in a lot of cases.

I know that Java 7 is a prerequisite but installing ONLY Java up to 7.21 it works but with newer versions up to 7.75 and 8.x the Java UI does not start at all.

 

Once clicked the button some seconds of wait and then nothing happen and in the task manager there's an appended java process.

 

This customer report me that they've some domain policies that automatically update their Java runtime versione so they cannot use the OCI Java UI.

Is there a way to let coexist older versions and the new Java one? 

Assuming they're forced to use the last one (i.e. 😎 are there some tricks?

 

Regards,

Here's a workaround doc I wrote for my company for java compatability issues. You can have an older java version installed simultaneously with the "current" release and then use a windows shortcut to invoke that java directly against the server. The coffe cup UI will not work, but a deskop shortcut is actually more convenient anyway. 😉

In the first page of this thread you can find a workaround.
Here (I cannot assure if the link is still valid)

Here I've shared a server sided patch and instructions doc that solves all Java issues running GUI on server and/or from client with Java 8 releases.

We are also testing OCI 7.0.2 build 164.  Although it runs fine from the OCI server, when we try to open it from a user workstation (Windows 7 Professional), we can't seem to find an appropriate jre7 update that will allow the Java UI to open.  We end up with the "unable to launch application" window.  We were fine when testing 7.0.1, but now that we are testing 7.0.2 it's not working at all.  We had a workaround of sorts for jre7u71, but that is not working now.  I've tried to downgrade to lower updates, tried 32-bit and 64-bit of most java updates, too.

 

If there is a server side patch available for 7.0.2, I would be very interested in giving that a try.  

 

Thank you!

Build 164 doesnt work for us either. We dont actually get an error but nothing happens when Java loads and you accept all the awesome java prompts.

 

7.1 is out but its a FCR, not sure I want to work THAT bad 🙂

Justin, have you obtained and deployed the patch for this issue?

Negative. We haven't worked with support yet to get it.

That's the only way to get it, right?

I've got the same issue with 7.1 release...Man Indifferent

The server side patch with the new jar file seems newer (4/29/2015) than the one on 7.1 installation files.

I've tried to apply the patch but I've got always the same error. With or without the patch...

The server is the same 7.0.2 with same environment where the patch worked. Just upgraded to 7.1

This java is a real nightmare!!!

 

Bye

The patch will break OCI 7.1.0 as the patch is both built for 7.0.2, and unnecessary for 7.1.0. I write this while having the Java client for 7.1.0 open on my laptop, running on Java 8u45

 

Giacomo - I would clear out the Java cache - this is always recommended if you are upgrading from one OCI version to another.

Sorry, I've replied without refreshing the page.

Anyway I've got that error also before the patch with the original jar file. 

I'll do some test.

Good morning guys,

Thank you for all of the follow-up and feedback.  I was unexpectedly out of the office and haven't been able to attend this.

 

I did try a patch that ostiguy forwarded for 7.0.2, but I was still getting the error.  I'm going to be testing 7.1 next week to see if we can get a better response with Java (yes, a giant nightmare).  I'm glad to know that java8u45 is working with 7.1.

 

Thanks again for the feedback!

Yep! Cleaned the java cache it works. On OCI server I did it manually in C:\Users\<running user>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache for there's no Control Panel Java applet.

No issue at all running Java UI from desktop shortcut on the server itself.

Labor day? Yes. Working on OCI 7.1 lab Smiley Indifferent but just because here is raining!

Hello everyone,

We have got OCI 7.1 but I am still getting this error with Java 8 u 60. The Java client initially worked on my Win 7 machine but not anymore, however, it works from the Server.

OCI 7.1.what?

 

OCI 7.1.0 ships with some default ciphers enabled which have been rendered unsupported by default in recent Java releases, so if you are running 7.1.0, changing the cipher list and restarting the "SANscreen Server" service should resolve it permanently.

 

 

When you see screenshots like that, clicking the details button, and harvesting the contents of the next window can be useful.

 

OCI client log file is sanscreen-client.log , which lives in

 

%userprofile%

 

on Windows. On WIndows 7, that defaults to

 

c:\users\%username%\

 

Having that can also be helpful

Thanks a lot Matt.

Yep, that is the ciphers thing - "handshake" messages are almost always TLS/SSL negotiation failures

 

RDP to the OCI server

 

C:\Program Files\SANscreen\jboss\server\onaro\deploy\jbossweb.sar

 

Make a backup of server.xml to your My Documents folder

 

Line 45 should start with

 

ciphers =

 

change it to

 

ciphers = "TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA"

 

save the file

 

Restart the "SANscreen Server" service.

 

You should be good to go

Thanks a lot Matt for the prompt responses. I have edited server.xml with the details provided however I still get the error. Initially I wasn't getting any response but after a while the error returned. Are there any other issues that could cause this?

Hmm,

 

Can you post a current sanscreen-client.log?

Curious - none of the events are recent.

 

General Java things:

Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel - if you have multiple Java runtime environments installed, try removing the old ones - sometimes despite Java prompting you to install new versions, the old ones are kept around

Java icon in Control Panel - try clearing out the cache of applets/etc.

 

Try both, and then reattempt launch the OCI client.
