How to use an OnlineTSPSource with esig/dss Library?

I'm attempting to use an online timestamp authority (rfc3161) with the Digital Signature Service Java library. However, the following snippet (from their test cases, and similar to the one from their Cookbook):
String tspServer = "http://tsa.belgium.be/connect";
OnlineTSPSource otsp = new OnlineTSPSource(tspServer);
/* tried setting otsp.setDataLoader(new TimestampDataLoader());
too, as it defaults to otsp.setDataLoader(new
NativeHTTPDataLoader()); the exception happens in both cases */
byte[] digest = DSSUtils.digest(DigestAlgorithm.SHA1, "Hello world".getBytes());
TimeStampToken timeStampResponse =
otsp.getTimeStampResponse(DigestAlgorithm.SHA1, digest);
always ends with the following exception:
eu.europa.esig.dss.DSSException:
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.closeQuietly(Ljava/io/Closeable;)V
Already tried many different public rfc3161 servers (some listed here). Sure there's something wrong going on there, but, as a beginner, I cannot understand what is wrong (what method should be there).
If anyone could put me in the right direction to get the snippet working (or even be kind enough to comment a reliable startup guide on cades/xades/pades with Java's bouncycastle) I would be really grateful.

As stated in the comments by Marteen Bodewes and Mark Rotteveel, there was something wrong with the version of Apache Commons-IO in the classpath. The project is set using Apache Maven and there was an old Commons-IO version declared there as a dependency. In this case, it was enough to remove that declaration, so Maven could download the appropriate version that was declared as an esig/DSS dependency.
esig/DSS version was 5.4 at the time.

Java 8 os.version does not contain entire Windows version

For Windows 10, Java 8 returns os.version=10.0 from System Properties, while the Windows 'ver' command returns 10.0.14393.
Is there any way to get the full windows version from java without running an external command?
Why is Java truncating the Windows version?

The answer is, as ever, in the code - it's not that it's truncating it; it just never populates the build number.
Looking at the jdk8 source, they only populated dwMajorVersion and dwMinorVersion:
sprintf(buf, "%d.%d", ver.dwMajorVersion, ver.dwMinorVersion);
sprops.os_version = _strdup(buf);
It's been this way since at least the jdk6.
Now, if you want to get a full windows version, including the build, then you can use JNA - the classes/interfaces you're looking for is com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinNT, which contains the VERSIONINFOEX structure, and com.sun.jna.platform.win32.Kernel32 for the GetVersionEx function. I don't have a copy of windows to stub out the code for you; but it should be relatively easy to do (maybe something like this? I can't even try to test this out):
import com.sun.jna.platform.win32.*;
import java.text.MessageFormat;
public static void main(String args[]) {
Kernel32 kernel = Kernel32.INSTANCE;
WinNT.OSVERSIONINFOEX vex = new WinNT.OSVERSIONINFOEX();
if (kernel.GetVersionEx(vex)) {
System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("{0}.{1}.{2}",
vex.dwMajorVersion.toString(),
vex.dwMinorVersion.toString(),
vex.dwBuildNumber.toString()));
}
}
Asking for a rationale for this; it's pretty simple really - it never really mattered before windows 10 - you had strong delineations of behaviour based on the major and minor version of the OS; with the introduction of features by build for windows 10 it's complicated things.

Java code in different build environments [duplicate]

My project requires Java 1.6 for compilation and running. Now I have a requirement to make it working with Java 1.5 (from the marketing side). I want to replace method body (return type and arguments remain the same) to make it compiling with Java 1.5 without errors.
Details: I have an utility class called OS which encapsulates all OS-specific things. It has a method
public static void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException {
// open the file using java.awt.Desktop
...
}
to open files like with double-click (start Windows command or open Mac OS X command equivalent). Since it cannot be compiled with Java 1.5, I want to exclude it during compilation and replace by another method which calls run32dll for Windows or open for Mac OS X using Runtime.exec.
Question: How can I do that? Can annotations help here?
Note: I use ant, and I can make two java files OS4J5.java and OS4J6.java which will contain the OS class with the desired code for Java 1.5 and 1.6 and copy one of them to OS.java before compiling (or an ugly way - replace the content of OS.java conditionally depending on java version) but I don't want to do that, if there is another way.
Elaborating more: in C I could use ifdef, ifndef, in Python there is no compilation and I could check a feature using hasattr or something else, in Common Lisp I could use #+feature. Is there something similar for Java?
Found this post but it doesn't seem to be helpful.
Any help is greatly appreciated. kh.

Nope there isn't any support for conditional compilation in Java.
The usual plan is to hide the OS specific bits of your app behind an Interface and then detect the OS type at runtime and load the implementation using Class.forName(String).
In your case there no reason why you can't compile the both OS* (and infact your whole app) using Java 1.6 with -source 1.5 -target 1.5 then in a the factory method for getting hold of OS classes (which would now be an interface) detect that java.awt.Desktop
class is available and load the correct version.
Something like:
public interface OS {
void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException;
}
public class OSFactory {
public static OS create(){
try{
Class.forName("java.awt.Desktop");
return new OSJ6();
}catch(Exception e){
//fall back
return new OSJ5();
}
}
}

Hiding two implementation classes behind an interface like Gareth proposed is probably the best way to go.
That said, you can introduce a kind of conditional compilation using the replace task in ant build scripts. The trick is to use comments in your code which are opened/closed by a textual replacement just before compiling the source, like:
/*{{ Block visible when compiling for Java 6: IFDEF6
public static void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException {
// open the file using java.awt.Desktop
...
/*}} end of Java 6 code. */
/*{{ Block visible when compiling for Java 5: IFDEF5
// open the file using alternative methods
...
/*}} end of Java 5 code. */
now in ant, when you compile for Java 6, replace "IFDEF6" with "*/", giving:
/*{{ Block visible when compiling for Java 6: */
public static void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException {
// open the file using java.awt.Desktop
...
/*}} end of Java 6 code. */
/*{{ Block visible when compiling for Java 5, IFDEF5
public static void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException {
// open the file using alternative methods
...
/*}} end of Java 5 code. */
and when compiling for Java 5, replace "IFDEF5". Note that you need to be careful to use // comments inside the /*{{, /*}} blocks.

You can make the calls using reflection and compile the code with Java 5.
e.g.
Class clazz = Class.forName("java.package.ClassNotFoundInJavav5");
Method method = clazz.getMethod("methodNotFoundInJava5", Class1.class);
method.invoke(args1);
You can catch any exceptions and fall back to something which works on Java 5.

The Ant script introduced below gives nice and clean trick.
link: https://weblogs.java.net/blog/schaefa/archive/2005/01/how_to_do_condi.html
in example,
//[ifdef]
public byte[] getBytes(String parameterName)
throws SQLException {
...
}
//[enddef]
with Ant script
<filterset begintoken="//[" endtoken="]">
<filter token="ifdef" value="${ifdef.token}"/>
<filter token="enddef" value="${enddef.token}"/>
</filterset>
please go to link above for more detail.

In java 9 it's possible to create multi-release jar files. Essentially it means that you make multiple versions of the same java file.
When you compile them, you compile each version of the java file with the required jdk version. Next you need to pack them in a structure that looks like this:
+ com
+ mypackage
+ Main.class
+ Utils.class
+ META-INF
+ versions
+ 9
+ com
+ mypackage
+ Utils.class
In the example above, the main part of the code is compiled in java 8, but for java 9 there is an additional (but different) version of the Utils class.
When you run this code on the java 8 JVM it won't even check for classes in the META-INF folder. But in java 9 it will, and will find and use the more recent version of the class.

I'm not such a great Java expert, but it seems that conditional compilation in Java is supported and easy to do. Please read:
http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=64
Quoting the gist:
The conditional compilation practice is used to optionally remove chunks of code from the compiled version of a class. It uses the fact that compilers will ignore any unreachable branches of code.
To implement conditional compilation,
define a static final boolean value as a non-private member of some class
place code which is to be conditionally compiled in an if block which evaluates the boolean
set the value of the boolean to false to cause the compiler to ignore the if block; otherwise, keep its value as true
Of course this lets us to "compile out" chunks of code inside any method. To remove class members, methods or even entire classes (maybe leaving only a stub) you would still need a pre-processor.

if you don't want conditionally enabled code blocks in your application then a preprocessor is only way, you could take a look at java-comment-preprocessor which can be used for both maven and ant projects
p.s.
also I have made some example how to use preprocessing with Maven to build JEP-238 multi-version JAR without duplication of sources

Java Primitive Specializations Generator supports conditional compilation:
/* if Windows compilingFor */
start();
/* elif Mac compilingFor */
open();
/* endif */
This tool has Maven and Gradle plugins.

hi I have got similar problem when I have shared library between Java SDK abd Android and in both environments are used the graphics so basically my code must to work with both
java.awt.Graphics and android.graphics.Canvas,
but I don't want to duplicate almost any code.
My solution is to use wrapper, so I access to graphisc API indirectl way, and
I can change a couple of imports, to import the wrapper I want to compile the projects.
The projects have some cone shaded and some are separate, but there is no duplicating anything except of couple of wrappers etc.
I think it is the best what I can do.

Using chef to install Java 7, can't get it to work

I have a wrapper cookbook with one recipe in it, recipes/default.rb that reads the following:
include_recipe "apt"
node.override[:java][:jdk_version] = '7'
include_recipe "java"
I have the apt and java cookbooks from the community site. I'm running knife bootstrap with only this wrapper recipe.
When I converge the node, it installs Java 6 instead of Java 7. I feel like there's something obvious I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. Shouldn't the node.override make it so the default jdk_version of 6 is overridden?

Qualifying my answer with "I'm not a chef expert"... However, I think the issue is with "nested attributes" in Chef. I don't think you can just go ahead and override just the version, because after peeling over every possible thing that could be wrong with your piddly recipe, I found this:
http://lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef/2012-10/msg00265.html
There's some other attributes that are being set after the default jdk version is set. If you look here:
http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/java/source
You'll see default['java']['openjdk_packages'] gets set using that default version, and the openjdk recipe, which is likely the "install_flavor" being chosen, ONLY looks at that attribute. It doesn't read in the jdk_version directly. Interestingly, the java::oracle recipe (along with java::oracle_i386 and java::oracle_rpm) read in the version directly, so your initial attempt would have worked for that.
I would try setting the version with one of these, based on your particular platform:
Redhat/CentOS: node.override[:java][:openjdk_packages] = ["java-1.7.0-openjdk", "java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel"]
Debian/Ubuntu: node.override[:java][:openjdk_packages] = ["openjdk-7-jdk"]
Other "platform_family" choices can be found here: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/java/blob/master/attributes/default.rb

Here is how I got it to work with a wrapper cookbook.
I had to add this statement to the attributes/default.rb:
override[:java][:openjdk_packages] = [
"openjdk-7-jdk", "openjdk-7-jre-headless"
]
I tried adding the jdk_version in this location and it didn't work. I tried adding this statement (with node.override) in the wrapper cookbook recipe and it didn't work either.
Here is a description of why this is the case.

Using Inline::Java in perl with threads

I am writing a trading program in perl with the newest Finance::InteractiveBrokers::TWS
module. I kick off a command line interface in a separate thread at the
beginning of my program but then when I try to create a tws object, my program
exits with this message:
As of Inline v0.30, use of the Inline::Config module is no longer supported or
allowed. If Inline::Config exists on your system, it can be removed. See the
Inline documentation for information on how to configure Inline. (You should
find it much more straightforward than Inline::Config :-)
I have the newest versions of Inline and Inline::Java. I looked at TWS.pm and it doesn't seem to be using Inline::Config. I set 'SHARED_JVM => 1' in the 'use Inline()' and 'Inline->bind()' calls in TWS.pm but that did not resolve the issue...
My Code:
use Finance::InteractiveBrokers::TWS;
use threads;
use threads::shared;
our $callback;
our $tws;
my $interface = UserInterface->new();
share($interface);
my $t = threads->create(sub{$interface->runUI()});
$callback= TWScallback->new();
$tws = Finance::InteractiveBrokers::TWS->new($manager); #This is where the program fails

So is Inline::Config installed on your system or not? A cursory inspection of the code is not sufficient to tell whether Perl is loading a module or not. There are too many esoteric ways (some intentional and some otherwise) to load a package or otherwise populate a namespace.
The error message in question comes from this line of code in Inline.pm:
croak M14_usage_Config() if %main::Inline::Config::;
so something in your program is populating the Inline::Config namespace. You should do what the program instructs you to do: find out where Inline/Config.pm is installed on your system (somewhere in your #INC path) and delete it.
