Topology Services Java issue

[David Niemann]

Just upgraded from LMS3.1 to LMS3.2.  Having issue with java when launching Topology Services.  I have completely removed java and let it reinstall using the version that it required but still get the attached error message everytime I try to launch the app.  Topology services worked fine previously with LMS3.1 and the java I had installed.

This was recently discussed on this forum.  The key is doing the installation of the plug-in as the local Administrator on the client.

Once the plug-in has been installed as Administrator, it should just work as any other account on the client.

[David Niemann]

As local administrator or as an account with local administrative privileges? My account falls in the latter category.

[Joe Clarke]

The local Administrator account.

That does not appear to be my issue as I just completely removed all java versions, rebooted, logged in as local administrator and installed Java 1.6.11.  I still get the same error.  "jacorb-sing-1-3.jar, avalon-framework-4.1.5-sign-1-3.jar, logkit-1.2-sign-1-3.jar install successfully.  Please launch Campus Applications again to work properly.  Click OK to exit from the plugin."

I get this same error everytime.  Could it be a browser security setting? I run IE8 (same as I was running with LMS3.1 which did not have this issue).

What are the contents of the endorsed subdirectory under (by default) C:\Progra~1\Java\jre6\lib?

[David Niemann]

C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\endorsed is empty

[Joe Clarke]

This is what I thought.  When you did the JPI installation as the local Administrator, did you download the NMSROOT/htdocs/plugin/jre-6u11-windows-i586-p_withjacorb.exe file from the server, then install it from the local EXE, or did you let the browser install it?

[David Niemann]

I installed it from a locally saved copy when I logged in as administrator.

[Joe Clarke]

Okay.  Try copying these three files from NMSROOT/campus/www/classpath on the server into that endorsed subdirectory.  Then restart your browser, and see if you can launch topology services.

avalon-framework-4.1.5-sign-1-3.jar
jacorb-sign-1-3.jar
logkit-1.2-sign-1-3.jar

[David Niemann]

That fixed it.  Thanks!

This did not work for me.  I am still getting the same message that it installed successfully and to restart the campus apps.  The 3 .jar files are in the 'endorsed' directory but still getting the same message

Try it again, after first clearing the cache ("Temporary Internet Files") from the Java control panel.

[mshatkus1]

I cleared the cache from Java and it still did not work

Ok, I got it working server side, but I still get the same message on the client side.
