jdeveloper deployment issue on oracle weblogic server - java

I am working on an oracle product Identity Management (IDM).
Initially when I wrote a separate program using Java (JDeveloper) it's worked fine.
Users are created in IDM using that java API.
But when I changed that program with the idea of the Web interface java code is even not able to deploy on
oracle WebLogic server.
Work Flow of Pages
index.html (this page has 4 options on menu 1. create user 2. delete user 3. disable user 4.enable user)
When a user clicks on option 3. disableuser.html page is called
On disableuser.html there are only 2 controls, a textbox and a button. In the text box the user provides user name whom he
wants to disable and then he will click on submit button. This submit button will call
operations.jsp
this operations.jsp code will call java class (oimuser.java)
Problem:
When I try to deploy this code on Oracle WebLogic Server it's unable to be deployed
When I changed the machine and used my friend's machine the code is deployed and executed but it's not calling the Java code
means user is not disable (even environment is not created)
Note: unable to deploy.. with below error code
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.vaau.rbacx.api.service.RbacxServiceException

For case 1) the problem is a missing library containing the mentioned class. You need to deploy the jar containing the class with your application onto the server.
For the second case, I can't tell as you have not given details.

Create screenshots when running as Windows Service

I've created a java program which is installed as a Windows service on a win10 machine using winsw. This program needs access to the current user desktop as it periodically creates screenshots (using java.awt.Robot) and processes them.
Because windows services run in their own session0 that isn't possible (I get black images). So how can I create my screenshots without creating another program which is run by the user session itself?
You should set <interactive> True in your configurations file in order to allow service to interact with Session 0. But in UAC OS(Windows vista or Above) services are no longer allow to interact with the Desktop.
ex :- <interactive />

Windows could not start service, Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

I have created a Java program then I need to install it as windows service.
First I run the jar directly from console and it ran as I wish, then I compile the jar to exe and I ran it as Admin ran OK.
But when I run it from windows service I got following error,
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
I also tried to set Account and password on Log On Tab, but not resolved yet.
It's not possible to resolve the actual problem with the information given by you, so I will provide you the steps necessary to debug the problem.
Use logging in your application to see what causes the error: Apache Log4j
You can use the Windows Event Viewer to see what happens when you start your Windows Service. This is very useful if the problem happens before the start of the application itself.
Click on Start / Windows symbol, type Event Viewer and press Enter. In the left hand tree-menu, click Windows Logs and then Application.

User Permission in Jenkins

Inside Jenkins Jobs & Builds folder, I am creating a text file and writing some content through Java program. As I am part of corporate network, I am inside firewall with many security rules where I have been restricted to write/update the program files directory under C: drive. Although I am administrator in my local machine, however the company policies are still applied which is denying me access to write/delete any files from the Jenkins directory. I see Jenkins is nicely reading/modifying/writing any files/folders without any issues which is believed to the typical behavior of Jenkins's USER.
Question 1: Is there any way I can use this Jenkins's user through my code so I can avail access on to these directories?
Question 2: Are there ways to solve this issue through Java code? (Note: I have tried writing a file with Run as Administration java code as well)
Kindly let me know if I am missing any details,.any help is highly appreciated.
It's about the user who launched the jenkins server, who might have the permissions to access the directories.
You can use the same user for your operations if available.
Question 1: Is there any way I can use this Jenkins's user through my code so I can avail access on to these directories?
Jenkins users - Jenkins server can have its own users and privileges can be set for each users differently. You cannot use these users outside of Jenkins server.
You can use the user who launched the Jenkins server, must be a user at OS level.
Question 2: Are there ways to solve this issue through Java code? (Note: I have tried writing a file with Run as Administration java code as well)
Again, only OS level users can be used and not the Jenkins users(users created inside Jenkins server)
If you want your application to run with same credentials as Jenkins user, then hold Shift+Right Click your application, select "Run as different user", provide Jenkins's user credentials and press OK.
If you are launching your Java application from command line, do the Shift+Right Click on the cmd.exe first, and once again select "Run as different user"
If you want to impersonate a Windows user from within code, then you should really reword your question body and title (and remove Jenkins references as it has nothing to do with this). But even in this case, you need to know the credentials of the user you are trying to impersonate

Tomcat as service unable to work with system clipboard?

I made a password manager as java web application (Tapestry to be precise) and idea is as follows, when you click on button next to password label, the matching password should be copied to system clipboard. It works perfectly when I start tomcat the standard way (run startup.bat), but that's not what I need. I need my tomcat to start as Windows service at startup, but in this case, everything in my application works perfectly except coping to clipboard. No error occurs, nor I get anything wrong in the log, text just doesn't copy.
Can someone tell me why is this the case, and what can cause such behavior? Can it be that service doesn't have right to mess with clipboard and if so, can I make it work?
Any help is welcome
When tomcat runs as a service, it does not run was a user linked to the main windows GUI, so all the awt functionalities are disabled. The only way to get some of them back is to add
-Djava.awt.headless=true
to the tomcat startup parameters - see http://support.sas.com/kb/12/599.html
However, this may be not enough as each user has his own console, so tomcat will copy into its own user console - you should run tomcat with the same user as the local logged in user, making the "run as a .bat" the easiest option.

Recommended server for JNLP

I have never used JNLP, and I have no web/war server already running so I will install it from sratch:
Which to use?
GlassFish
Tomcat
Apache
Jetty
Another?
I wonder if someone already using JNLP could make any recomendation for the server.
I just want a blank page with a button in the middle for starting the application nothing more, nothing less.
If you use only JNLP you don't need Java server. JNLP is client side. Simple http server like Apache HTTP Server should be OK. HTTP server will be better solution than use of web container/Java EE server because JNLP (usually) is a static content. Even lighthttpd should be enough.
As already stated any server capable to serve HTTP will do. If your WebStart application is not signed by itself (i.e. you code-signed the corresponding Jar files) you could probably consider to publish the JNLP plus its resources via HTTPS. This way your clients will know that the software they are going to execute came from its rightful origin. Although unsigned WebStart applications are restricted in their privileges on the client's machine it still is a measure to elicit trust in your clients. On the other hand this requires more configuration effort with regard to the server you chose.
If your application will need some extended privileges on the client's machine such as access to the file system then I would recommend that you do sign your jar files to gain the necessary privileges automatically (don't forget to specify them in a element within your JNLP).
These are the default restrictions for unsigned WebStart apps:
No access to local disk.
All your jars must be downloaded from the same host. Note, however, that you can download extensions and JREs from any host as long as they are signed and trusted.
Network connections are allowed only to host from which your jars were downloaded. ("Phone home restriction.")
No security manager can be installed.
No native libraries (not even in extensions).
Limited access to system properties. (The application has read/write access to all system properties defined in the jnlp file, as well as read-only access to the same set of properties as applets
You dont need a server to run JNLP(Webstart).. This is how webstart works
it simply is an application that can be started over the web, this would be the procedure from the user perspective:
user goes to yourwebsite.com
user see's link: run my awesome app
user clicks link, which downloads .jnlp file
user runs the jnlp file through java web start (part of java SE, user requires java runtime environment JRE to run this)
java web start reads jnlp to get information about the server that holds the corresponding application
jar files get downloaded automatically (the first time) and then the application starts
user gets bored and closes application
the next day, user comes back and clicks your link again
application is already downloaded, so it starts right away
user gets bored again and closes your application
1 day later, you decide to update your application and you deploy the new jar file on your
server, replacing one of the old files
after 2 days user clicks your link again
java web start recognizes that the user has a different version, downloads update automatically and starts the application again
