Mac OSX - SmartClient won't start application

[Mark Crichton]

Hi

Error after loading latest Java version.
Is there a fix for this?

MAC OSX 10.8.4 with Safari ( All updates loaded)
Servoy 6.1.5.1433
Java OSX 2013-004 1.0 Jave SE 6 1.6.0_51

Recently my Mac will not open the Smart-client application hosted on separate server
Cache entry as below.
Not sure if Cocoa or beans are the problem

Application opens fine on windows pc's and older versions of Java on Macs

More ...
I have followed instructions on Apple support to remove 7 and reinstall 6.
What a mess....
6 now installed but application gets to login and shows user name, but no password box and hangs.

Same problem here

Apple/Security

Java for OS X 2013-004 [for OS X 10.7 and later] and Java for Mac OS X v10.6 Update 16 both update Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_51 to patch security problems.

Multiple vulnerabilities existed in Java 1.6.0_45, the most serious of which may allow an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox. Visiting a web page containing a maliciously crafted untrusted Java applet may lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user. These issues were addressed by updating to Java version 1.6.0_51. Further information is available via the Java website...

This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all web browsers. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.

So NO Update of Java

Her is a quick (Dirty) answere.
From a Apple not updated copy /System/Library/Java to the machine with 1.6.0_51 and replace the Java folder.
chown -R root /System/Library/Java.
restart
now you are running in the same java version als de old machine.

Now you can start the solution with javaws in the terminal.

I also have problems an a customer mac with OS X 10.7.5 and Java 1.6.0_51 working on Servoy 5.2.15
Our SmartClient Application starts, but on the Login-Screen the combobox for username and password field is not clickable anymore.
The hint to change to Finder and go back to SmartClient does not help.
So this is a serious problem for our customers at the moment.
Can you please try to find a solution?

Thank you!

Hi

Unfortunately cannot go the route of getting customers to do complex removal of update. This technology is supposed to just work. Who's responsibility is it to get a solution. Servoy or Oracle?
Users will keep updating to latest Java versions, and Servoy Smartclient should not break.

I agree with Alex that this is a serious problem for customers, and I am loosing credibility with them.

Seeing this thread I have just updated a Mac OS X 10.8.3 test computer to Java 1.7.0_25-b15.

I have two Servoy Servers (6.1.4) running on Mac OS X 10.7.x.
The solutions from both servers appear to launch and run fine. The solutions downloaded fresh, so I had to answer a few security dialogs.

There are some issues launching via Safari. Clicking the donut will only download the jnlp. Workaround:
1. From the download button on far right of the window I show the jnlp in the finder.
2. Select the jnlp and hold down the control key to get a contextual menu.
3. Select "open with java webstart'.

Hope this helps,

Hi Swingman

Your solution unfortunately what we've tried and app runs and freezes with no data input possible.

I am confused that we have both upgraded to latest versions, but have different Mac and Java versions .... Hence maybe why works for you.
Also may be that our servers are Windows 7 Prof delivering smart-client consumed on mac

Problem still remains unresolved.

[LXS]

same here. Since Java 1.6.0_51 on Mac customers can't login in our smart client solution. The fields for username and password are not accessible - like disabled.
What can be done here?

[jcompagner]

what kind of login is this? default servoy (so that dialog)? or a custom login form with some fields?

[LXS]

It uses a login solution with some fields.
1 combobox and 1 password field

[LXS]

I can give you a link to our solution if that helps

[swingman]

Have you tried clearing the Java cache? Remember to also delete the .servoy directory in the users home directory.
We had one mac not being able to log in yesterday, and this sorted out the problem.

[LXS]

How can you clear the cache of a Java 6 installation on Mac?
The Java Preferences app has gone and the Java Control Center in the System Settings are only for Java 7.

[jcompagner]

so you can't focus even a default form elements.

Do you have also this with a plain default install of servoy without any 3th party plugins ?
