cannot run arcgis engine jar file on unix machine

nhieuduong

we created a java program using arcgis engine 9.3 and packaged it in a jar file. when we use runtime 9.3 to execute the jar file on a windows machine , the program runs fine. however when we execute the same jar file on a unix machine (centos 5) we get a very ambigious error that points to a some code. i should add that we wrote the java program in windows..

so basically im wondering if you cant make the arcgis java program in windows and have runtime 9.3 run it in unix?

heres the error we get when we put execute it in the command line... ("java -jar Window3.jar")

we tried using some sample jar files that arcgis provides and it gave us the same error. we sourced the init_engine.sh file first and even sourced the java one as well(init_java.sh) but nothing works..im hoping someone who has encounterd this before can shed some light as to what is going on.

thanks in advance to anyone who replies. any info even if its just brainstorming ideas is much appreciated...

i figured it out.

i reinstalled arcgis with the shell script gschalow gave me in the posts and made sure i had all the packages installed .

thanks to everyone for helping me out.

GREAT news. Thanks for letting us know!

i downgraded to java 1.5_22, but im getting an error that says

java.lang.ClassUnsupportedVersionError: bad version number in .class file

a google search indicates that the java used to compile the jar file is not the same as the java used to run the jar file. aka it was built from java 1.6 and when i ran it with java 1.5 it didnt like it.

also , i tried running arcgis runtime on windows with java 1.6_26 and it worked fine. so the java versions most likely is not the issue. im wondering if maybe i need to get service pack 1 for runtime 9.3 ?

EricBader

9.3.1 is not certified with Java 6. Only Java 5. You can go above 1.5.0_13, but not up to 1.6.x.
If you are using ArcGIS 10.0, you should use Java 1.6.0_24, or the latest, whatever it is.

nhieuduong

that specific version of java? or anything above that version.

in our OS we have java 1.6.0_26

EricBader

Java 1.5.0_13, 32-bit

nhieuduong

okay i figured some things out. dont touch LD_LIBRARY_PATH even though the error says you need to add arcgis/bin to it. it will only give you more errors..hence my "abort" error. oh and i also tried the package, it doesnt seemt to work on either my Centos or red hat 5 OS. is there a specific version of java im supposed to get?

nhieuduong

is there anywhere in the arcgis coding that "aborts" java ? i have an error while trying to troubleshoot the problem.

i type in "java -jar Splinetext.jar"
after sourcing init_engine.sh and init_java.sh AND putting arcgis/bin in LD_LIBRARY_PATH AND ldconfig a shared library(libshlwapi.so)

and i get an error message that just says "Abort" .

im wondering if arcgis is throwing this error

nhieuduong

sorry for the confusion
we are using arcgis runtime 9.3.1 . should i go ahead and install the rh install thing in your link just in case?

GriffinSchalow

Also, Red Hat 5 was not supported at 9.3. Support for Red Hat 5 was added with 9.3 Service Pack 1 and in 9.3.1.

This KB article explains how to upgrade to enable RH5 support.

Root is not needed. You should be using the same user that ArcGIS Engine Runtime was installed by.

nhieuduong

the weird thing is that if i follow the whole procedure in root, i get a different msg. the error msg i get is

could not load native libraries. ArcGIS/bin should be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ntvinv in java.library.path..
.....
......
....

i followed exactly what they said to do for the post installation . i shouldnt be getting this error. also is root needed to run arcgis ?

nhieuduong

we have been trying for a while now, with every method we can think of. we are having no luck. the error message is ambigious, and the customer service for arcgis is of no help. if anyone has any ideas, even just brainstorming post them on the thread. im running out of ideas as to why this is not working.

nhieuduong

yes , we ran the authorization utility and in the authorization summery app it says we got the runtime licensed.

EricBader

Ok.
Fundamental question, but you did run the softwareauthorization utility, correct?

nhieuduong

yes we are, downloaded and installed..

it would at least make some sense if our own java programs didnt work but to have arcgis engine devo kit sample java programs (there jar files) to not work also, indicates we are missing something here, something fundamental.

EricBader

I'm not sure what's going on.
Are you using Oracle's JRE on your Linux machine?
That is the JRE you should be using.

nhieuduong

we installed a trial version of red hat on the virtual machine but we still get the same error mssg as before. same error and same everything. what is going on?

EricBader

Wow. CentOS....haven't tried that, since it is not a supported Linux flavor for the Engine Runtime.
Sounds like you are doing everything correctly. It could just be a problem with the Runtime running on CentOS. I'm surprised the installation completed successfully.
Do you have a non-virtualized Red Hat Linux 5 machine that your could try it on? That would eliminate a lot of confusion right from the start.

nhieuduong

oh also we used bootstrapping. the same code that arcgis recommends using. it is staight out of arcgis website. as to the init visual beans, we have that too in our code too.

nhieuduong

we used a sample jar file that arcgis devolopment kit 9.3 came with and those jar files dont work on the unix machine either. they work on the windows machine. what do you mean by version 10? arcgis engine runtime 10? can you explain further what yo mean by "jre packaged with engine or devlopmentkit" ?

UsmanAleem

I dont know this helps you out or not but i am working on version 10 and firstly it is not working but with bootstraping and initilizevisulalbeans solve our most problems. why not you first try it with jre packaged with engine or developmentkit. and i think u already know it must be 32 bit.

nhieuduong

i should add that the unix machine is actuall a virtual machine.

basically its on a host mac computer and we used VMWare to run a centos 5 virtual machine on it.

nhieuduong

we wrote our program in java 6 update 23...our unix machine is java 6 update 25. and the separate windows computer we tested our jar file on is java 6 update 24. it appears we did everything correctly
(run the init scripts..both the engine and java shell scripts) . am i missing something?

EricBader

Sorry, by this I mean: Java 1.6, update 21 (Java 1.6.0_21)

nhieuduong

thanks for replying so quickly..

our unix machine is Red Hat , specifically Centos 5. we checked the init files and they do run successfully. It creates the ARCGIS_HOME variable in the right place and points to the correct arcobjects.jar file. We checked the autorization summery and the we do have the right licenses.

can you explain what java 6 u 21 mean? i dont reconize the acronym or what the numbers stand for?

RTPL_AU_0-1724988603933.png

EricBader

Yes, your app built and compiled on WIndows should work on your Linux or Solaris machine.
If you used Java 6 u 21, make sure the JRE on the Unix machine is the same version.
Make sure that the ArcGIS Runtime on the Unix machine is properly licensed and the init scripts are executing successfully so that the jars link to the arcobjects runtime libs properly.

What is your target Unix platform? Linux? Solaris? What versions of these operating systems are you trying to run on?

Thanks!
