Questions & Answers

Hi developers,

One of our markets in Spain are trying to use FS but they keep on encountering login error messages.

We have got the admin to use Java 1.6.0 after we received feedback saying:

"The java webstart application of the java version 1.6.0_14 to 1.6.0_17

do have a bug, which makes it incompatible with FirstSpirit. This bug

has been fixed within the java JRE version 1.6.0_18.

The exception you get with these java webstart versions begins with:

de.espirit.firstspirit.access.AccessIOException: Connection

problem:Authorisation error - java.lang.SecurityException:Not trusted

generally FirstSpirit 4 should be used with a java JRE version 1.6.0"

After downgrading to 1.6.0 they still can not log in.

We have been going round in circles lately trying to figure out why they can not access the server.

Attached are some screen shots of the problem.

Before downgrading to Java 1.6.0, they were are working with Java 6 update 26 and trying to access with Firefox 5.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 and 8.7600.

I have logged into their account using their login details here in the UK and we can login fine but for some reason they cannot.

Can anyone help?

if you are able to login this seems to be (spain)-local java installation problem (e.g. old javaws libs). you should be able to login with 1.6.0_23.

The fix will be available in 1.6.0_27

The full version number of Java 6u26 is 1.6.0_26, so i don't understand to which version you "downgraded"? And 6u26 is newer than 6u17 which is mentioned in your quoted text.

Could you provide the complete trace (as text)? It should appear on the console.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the email.

The original Java version was 1.6.0_26 but we were told to downgrade them to 1.6.0 to help with diagnosis and as a resolution to solving the problem, which it obviously has not.

Based on the above response, I have told Spain to install version 1.6.0_23 and we'll see if this works.

Thanks Peter.

If not please include a complete stack trace of the error message. It could be a simple network configuration problem or a firewall is blocking binary communication-over-http.

I think the downgade to 1.6.0 was a misunderstanding - a human communication error

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the reply.

How do you go about tracing in Java for FirstSpirit?

I know how to trace in MS-DOS

[Peter_Jodeleit]

WebStart allows you to run with a console window for logging output. How to find the WebStart settings is dependent on your OS. You could google for it or ask our helpdesk which will guide you.

In case of an error a so called "stack trace" is logged into this console.

Hi Peter,

Spain have updated their Java version to 1.6.0_23 and this is still not working.

Spain have said:

"I've uninstalled the Java version I had before and installed this one you gave me, but it still doesn't work.

The same error as always.

May be is the user and password?"

It definitely is not the username and password as I can log in from the UK.

Can you suggest anything else why Spain can not load the FirstSpirit Admin?

It's driving them mad and us.

please include the full error stacktrace.

1. exec jcontrol

2. select the advanced tab

3. java console

4. [X] Show console

take a look at the fs-server.log (any error, did you see any connection attempts?) and/or include this log, too
