Getting error "Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException" when running standalone RTC Plain Java application

Mostafa Radwan (11●5●8) | asked Aug 19 '13, 2:02 a.m.

Hi Folks,

I'm facing an issue similar to the ones in the links below. I wrote an RTC plain Java v3.0.0.1 in Eclipse Juno. It runs successfully in Eclipse. When I tried to export the project as an executable JAR, I got the error message below and the application would stop. I've tried the following workarounds with no luck :
(1) RepositoryPackage.eINSTANCE.eContents(); right after TeamPlatform.startup();
(2) Export the project as a normal JAR.

Any idea on what could be causing this ?

Hi,

if you run the code from classes (not Jar's) does it work then? See at the end of https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/understanding-and-using-the-rtc-java-client-api/

The related posts:
https://jazz.net/forum/questions/19258/jazz-java-plain-api-on-gwt-server-side-problem seems to be a problem with using server side API in the client. And https://jazz.net/forum/questions/61339/exception-in-standalone-v2-client-connecting-to-repository seems to be a problem, where the way the JAR was created solved the issue.

Please try to make sure to use a Java Version that is compatible. I have seen some issues with Java 7 in the forums. Please be a ware that, if you set up the SDK and Plain Java, it is easy to mix client and server side API which can cause strange effects. See http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/what-apis-are-available-for-rtc-and-what-can-you-extend/ to get a feel for what you look at.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your response.

I've tried to run it from the classes and now getting a different type (screenshot below) of an error related to RSA. Any idea what's causing this ?

Hi Ralph,
Any idea why ?

Thanks

Is it Okay to use JRE 1.6 or it has to be IBM JRE ?

Thanks.

I typically use the JRE that ships with the product. So I would suggest to try to do the same. The JRE is available in the server and also ships with the Eclipse client.

Thanks Ralph.

I got it resolved by including the jars used in the classpath as per the following post.
