[Wrapper-user] Cannot bring up a browser

[Senthil S <sen...@gm...>]

Hi,
My application launches a  browser as soon as it gets started.The 
following is the code I use

RunTime.exec(rundll32 url.dll, FileHandlerProtocol http://localhost:1090);

This one brings up a browser when I start the application in the console 
mode but doesn't invoke the browser when started as a service nor does 
it complain of any errors. I have the following for the path
wrapper.java.path.1=%SYSTEM%\rundll32.dll
wrapper.java.path.2=%SYSTEM%\url.dll
wrapper.java.library.path.3=%SYSTEM%\rundll32.dll
wrapper.java.library.path.4=%SYSTEM%\url.dll

The %PATH% has C:\winnt\SYSTEM32 .

What do I miss? Please reply me ASAP

Waiting for your reply,
Senthil

Senthil,
    Are you setting the wrapper.ntservice.interactive property?  This is 
needed or the service
and all of its child processes will not have access to the desktop.  
ie.  They can't show the
user anything.

Cheers,
Leif

Re: [Wrapper-user] Cannot bring up a browser

[Senthil S <sen...@gm...>]

Hi Leif,

I even tried using "wrapper.ntservice.interactive=3Dtrue" but all I get is =
a
message box saying
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)"
I even tried increasing the maxmemory property to 300MB. Still it doesn't
work.

Thanks for early reply,
Senthil

What is process that is crashing?  Is this your JVM or the browser process?

I doubt that the memory is the problem.  That just sets the memory used 
by the JVM
launched by the Wrapper.

So without the interactive flag set, the browser gets launched but does 
nothing.  But
when the flag is set, something is crashing?

What is the RunTime class?  Is that something that you created?  Have 
you tried
launching the browser using the java.lang.Runtime.exec method?  I 
haven't launched
a browser before, but have launched Excel without any problems in the past.

Cheers,
Leif

Re: [Wrapper-user] Cannot bring up a browser

[Senthil S <sen...@gm...>]

Leif,

I am sure its the browser launch process that fails, because even after 
that the application runs smoothly.
The exact statement I use is,

    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime.exec(rundll32 url.dll
    ,FileProtocolHandler http://localhost:1090);
    and also I tried
     Runtime.getRuntime.exec(cmd.exe /c start http://localhost:1090);

Where Runtime is java.lang.Runtime.
If not from wrapper.maxmemory=300MB (initially it had 256MB), how do I 
set the memory for the browser launch process?(should I set it at all?)
Without interactive flag set , I was not getting this error message 
("The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)" ).
In both cases(with/without interactive flag set) the browser wasn't 
launched.

Thanks,
Senthil

Re: [Wrapper-user] Cannot bring up a browser

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Senthil,
    One other thing.  Unless you specify an account to run as, the 
Wrapper runs as a service
using the default SYSTEM user.  This means that any child processes will 
also be run as
the system user.   Back when I was playing with Excel, I was having a 
problem launching
Excel as the SYSTEM user because Excel likes to bring up a configuration 
wizard when
it is launched for the first time for a given user.
    I am wondering if your browser is crashing because it is not finding 
its expected
configurations for the SYSTEM user.
    I was able to get around this with Excel by running the Wrapper as a 
user for which I
had already initialized Excel.  The problem for you though is that when 
running as a user
other than SYSTEM, it is not possible to set the interactive flag.  In 
my case, I was using
Excel to run a VBS script that generated a CSV file and exited.  No user 
interaction
required so it all worked.

    Not sure what browser you are using, but you might want to try 
googling around
using this as a base.

    The memory properties of the wrapper simply set the -Xms and -Xmx 
parameters to
the JVM, they have no control over the child processes.

Cheers,
Leif
