WebStart Java 7 update 71 72 [message #1445462]

Oracle just released java 7 update 71 and 72. This breaks my company's web-start RCP application.

Not sure what the classloading issue is. Not getting any messages about jar signing issues.

Same problem here, using 3.7.2. Pulling my hairs out for days now. Every java update is a struggle for eclipse webstart.

I posted to the Eclipse bug for java 7 65 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=439759) and the suggestion came to add to the jnlp:

<property name="osgi.parentClassloader" value="current"/>

But as of java 7 update 40, any property other than java and javax will be ignored if the jnlp isn't signed. When delivering Eclipse RCP over web start, what jar would you put the APPLICATION.JNLP file into? Your plugin jar?

Also, "current" isn't an option for parentClassloader. Maybe they meant frameworkParentClassloader? http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fruntime-options.html

It works for me (passing the property name="osgi.parentClassloader" value="current") - tried eclipse 3.7.2 with java7u71 - not using a signed jnlp nor template, setting securty to 'medium'.

You're right about the problem that jnlp properties need to start with "jnlp.": a solution for that has been described: it consists of making a wrapper like this

public class WrapperMain {
public static void main(String... args) {
java.util.Properties props = System.getProperties();
for (String key : props.stringPropertyNames()) {
if (key.startsWith("jnlp.")) {
System.setProperty(key.substring(5), props.getProperty(key));
}
}

org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.WebStartMain.main(args);
}
}

and prefixing all your properties...

<property name="jnlp.osgi.parentClassloader" value="current"/>

and invoke this one as your main class...

<application-desc main-class="com.yourcompany.WrapperMain">
<argument>-nosplash</argument>
</application-desc>

Dieter,

Thanks, that works. I packaged up this class in a new Fragment, with
Fragment-Host: org.eclipse.equinox.launcher

I appreciate your help!

I'm sort of waiting for the day that a Java update creates a truly fatal wound to my RCP application. Would love to find an alternative to Web Start.

Unfortunately, setting the (jnlp.)osgi.parentClassLoader property didn't work for me. It did cause a change in the launching process, but it didn't fix it.

Without it I saw an AccessControlException in the web start trace, caused by EclipseLog.checkLogFileSize. With the property set, there are no errors in the web start trace, but now there's a ClassCircularityError on /org/eclipse/osgi/framework/util/SecureAction$19 in the eclipse log. The attempt to instantiate the class comes from org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.protocol.StreamHandlerFactory.createURLStreamHandler (StreamHandlerFactory.java:102). I'm using Eclipse 3.7 jars.

Right now the only "fix" for the problem I can give my customers is to have them uninstall any Java 7 or Java 8 JREs and (re)install Java 7 update 67. That release works with or without the parentClassLoader property. Of course, it exposes customers to the security holes Oracle supposedly patched in 7u71 and 8u25, but our product is generally used behind a firewall. We sign our jars properly so our customers can use the "Very High" security setting in Java 7 update 67 or Java 8 update 11.

This is the fourth Oracle update in two years that has broken our WebStart-based application. Management is now thinking of abandoning WebStart and perhaps even the OSGi platform in favor of a monolithic application with a bundled JRE that we'd require customers to distribute, configure, and install. That would be painful, but Oracle obviously doesn't care about automatically pushing out incompatible Java updates. I understand the need for security patches, but Oracle should at least provide a backward-compatibility option that customers can use at their own risk.

Hi Barry,

We are in the exactly the same situation as you.

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "eclipse.exitcode" "write")
        at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
        at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)

        at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:219)

Then adding the parent class path

 <property name="jnlp.osgi.parentClassloader" value="current"/>

produced

java.lang.ClassCircularityError: org/eclipse/osgi/framework/util/SecureAction$19
        at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.util.SecureAction.loadSystemClass(SecureAction.java:370)
        at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.protocol.StreamHandlerFactory.getBuiltIn(StreamHandlerFactory.java:82)
        at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.protocol.StreamHandlerFactory.createURLStreamHandler(StreamHandlerFactory.java:102)
        at java.net.URL.getURLStreamHandler(Unknown Source)

I wonder if it was due to a warning we were getting regarding signed and unsigned jars when using 7u67, so I may explore that tomorrow?

We're banging our heads against wall, did you make any progress??

I'll try and share anything exciting we come across here....

We also get the error with update 71/72.

Prior to 71/72, we have retrieved no warnings/errors.

I'm going to add the property below to see what happens. Will find out today if it does anything useful.

<property name="jnlp.osgi.parentClassloader" value="current"/>

Adding the following property to the jnlp file worked for us:

<property name="jnlp.eclipse.security" value="osgi"/>

We strip the property names in the same way that Dieter Cailliau suggested.

Edit: Removed custom property prefix "cxn" to prevent confusion.

I guess that will be another thing to try.

So you only had to add

<property name="jnlp.cxn.eclipse.security" value="osgi"/>

and not

<property name="jnlp.osgi.parentClassloader" value="current"/>

or did you have to add both?

I just had to add

and nothing else.

Note that the property name is prefixed to allow setting through jnlp. See Dieter Cailliau's reply for more information on this.

Hi,

<property name="jnlp.eclipse.security" value="osgi"/>

Appears to work for us.

Please note in the example above jnlp.cxn appears to a custom prefix, we only "jnlp."

Hi,
We have been battling this problem for about a week now. We saw the updates to this thread this morning and tried adding :
<property name="jnlp.eclipse.security" value="osgi" /> to our jnlp file and removing <property name="jnlp.osgi.parentClassloader" value="current"/> that we had added previously.
This seems to have fixed the issue for us.
As we have spent so much time tearing our hair out we would be interested to know what it was that prompted you to try this in the first place?

When we were trying to determine what changed in the new versions of the JRE that caused the issue we noticed that applications launched from JWS now included the argument

-Djava.security.manager

This forces the default security policy on the application. Our guess was that this was interfering with the custom security policy that Equinox utilizes so we went in search of an eclipse runtime property that would let us set the security policy back to the custom one. "eclipse.security" is what we found.

Remove cxn from the property since that is not your own prefix, you are just using "jnlp" like us.

After looking at the differences in source code between 3.3.2 and 3.8.1, I noticed 3.3.2 didn't have code in place for this property. I updated to the org.eclipse.osgi_3.8.1* version and the property and webstart now works for me.

I'll try the jnlp.eclipse.security property (with a wrapper that strips the jnlp prefix). But that would only fix the next release of our product.

For our customers who want to upgrade their JRE but who don't want to upgrade to a new version of our product, we found a solution is to distribute a keystore file containing the public key certificate for our jars. The customer can install the keystore file on our server. Customers must then edit the JRE policy file on the machine where they'll run the rich client. (For Java 7 on Windows using 32-bit browsers, the policy file is C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\security\java.policy.)

In the policy file they add the following:

keystore "<URL of keystore file>";

grant signedBy "<certificate alias>" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

This is a tedious solution that requires customer work on every machine that might use our WebStart application. But at least it doesn't require a new version of the application. It's still secure since we sign all our jars.

Good day,

I am in the same boat as you fine folks, but my rcp/java knowledge is cursory at this time. I manage an RCP application that needs this wrapper interface working.

I looked online for a write up or direction regarding on the that is built. I cannot find a concise example.

I am using some of the code provided above for the wrapper, but I have some questions.

package jnlpWrapper;

public class WrapperMain
{
    public static void main(String... args)
    {
        java.util.Properties props = System.getProperties();
        for (String key : props.stringPropertyNames())
        {
            if (key.startsWith("jnlp."))
            {
                System.setProperty(key.substring(5), props.getProperty(key));
            }
        }

        org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.WebStartMain.main(args);
    }
}

I was wondering how I call the launcher. Do I jar this wrapper and place into my RCP UI application? Do I need to place the launcher jar into the wrapper although the launcher will be on the classpath if this wrapper jar is placed into the RCP UI application.

In general I just don't understand how to implement this system.

In our situation, we modified the .jnlp (changed main-class) to call into the wrapper class that we created instead of calling into org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.*. That is pretty much all you should need to do. You may also need to change the <jar href under resources (or include another entry) to point to the plugin that contains the wrapper class you created. I'm sure there are other ways of doing it but this is how we did it.

As far as I understand your response.

I need to create a new Plugin which harbors the wrapper class. Then call that plugin from the jnlp at the application-desc main-class. Also I need to pull that plugin's jar into the resources jar call?

You don't necessarily have to create a new plugin. If you already have a plugin that you manage as part of your application then you can add the class to that plugin and reference it from the .jnlp.

How did you know javaws in 7u72 forces use -Djava.security.manager?
Is it possbile to disable the security manager?

Now, with the workaournd, my web start app can be launched, but encounter performance issues: org.eclipse.ui.dialogs.FilteredTree reponse very slow. I guess it's caused by the security manager.

You can see the command that JWS executes, to launch the application, in the trace logs . We compared the command that was executed in older versions of the JRE to the new versions. We saw that the new versions were adding:

-Djava.security.manager

I did not find a way to disable this.

Is it impossible to pass this as an argument to the launcher itself inside the jnlp?

I used this method in previous java updates, will this not work in this instance?

Aren't we essentially doing this? We just want to pass in the argument for eclipse.security......or is it because this eclipse.security parameter isn't for the equinox launcher but for the jvm itself?

As a trial, I have added a wrapper class using code provided above to my main plugin that launches on the client side through the jnlp. The issue with that is I don't have (org.eclipse.equinox) as a jar on that plugin build classpath. This prevents me from building the client plugin. Equinox is called from the jnlp but not built with the plugin. If I place equinox on the classpath of the plugin through a lib add, won't that affect the classpath of the jnlp launch?

Shaun,

First you should not pass the property as a JVM argument. It should be passed via a runtime property using the <property> tag. The issue is that if your jnlp is not signed properly JWS will only allow properties that it thinks are "secure". In our case these are properties that start with "jnlp".

In order to work around the property security you need to prefix the property with the string "jnlp" like so:

<property name="jnlp.eclipse.security" value="osgi" />

Now you will create a wrapper application that is a simple java class with a main that strips out the "jnlp." strings from all current runtime properties and then manually launches the Eclipse Framework with the striped runtime properties. There is an example of this class and its relative launch.jnlp change above.

Thanks you so much everybody !

I've been strugglingwith this for 2 days with no results ...

<property name="jnlp.osgi.parentClassloader" value="current"/>

This added to the jnlp made my application work against java 7u71 !!!

I had the same issue with JRE 8u40 and adding this works.

<property name="jnlp.osgi.parentClassloader" value="current"/>

EDIT: my application starts up much slower with 8u40 (3x as slow), same issue as reported here. But that is unrelated.
