POS - Printer problems continued

Hello all, hope everyone is well.

I'm getting the typical "message: Service does not exist in loaded JCL
registry" apon booting the POS, but i've changed my pos-container.xml file
as stated below back to the NullReceipt setting. It still won't boot.
(config file below)

Would there be anything else stopping me? Must I rebuild the enviroment, or
something I'm missing?

Thanks gents!

Administrator

It should work, send us more of your log around the error. Did you check carefully your jpos.xml file ?

Re: POS - Printer problems continued

What is the contents of your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory? It's
contents (after running the Epson installer) made evident some interesting
classpath paradoxes in the way jpos is intialized. I have several theories
about this that I am attempting to understand. To test one theory, I moved
the jpos.xml file so that it resides on the bootclasspath rather than in
specialpurpose/pos/config, to my surprise this FIXED the problem!

RE: POS - Printer problems continued

Now that you mention the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory...

I haven't always had success when directions call for putting files in that directory. In particular, the only way I was able to get my cash drawer working in linux is to put the serial port configuration file (javax.comm.properties) in the classpath. According to the instructions, that file should have been fine in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext.

I haven't experienced the particular problem you mention though.

Re: POS - Printer problems continued

wow... Gentlemen, you bring to light a few theories I've been mucking around
with. The epson ADK 1.11 and it's install directions are.....shaky at best.
The README and INSTALLATION files that come with the install don't reflect
that of the PDF you can get off the site.

Also The RXTX install instructions are outdated as it's Revision 2 and some
of the errors and directories they have you mess with turn in to witch
hunts!

I'll look into this and give what you suggest a try.

Just out of curiousity.....How does one add files to the classpath in
ubuntu? You're not speaking of just adding them to $PATH? correct? The
sys admin stuff is easy, it's this new JAVA craziness thats throwing me off!
:P

P.S. I had been messing with the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory! YIKES!
I'll get it fixed!

Re: POS - Printer problems continued

FYI the full error.log file for the start up issue I'm having! If you want
the debug or something else, just let me know. I'm looking into reading up
on this bootclasspath and classpath nonsense. At the very least, I'm going
to need to learn it anyway, so I'll take a look into it and if anyone has
tidbits to help me along this path. I'd appritiate it!

Re: POS - Printer problems continued

Contents of $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext...Also, I've appended the
/etc/environment to add for a classpath (thats how I've read to do it in
ubuntu anyway) and I've added
/opt/java6/jdk1.6.0_05/jre/lib:/opt/java6/jdk1.6.0_05/jre/lib/ext/:$JAVA_HOME/lib:.

I may have more than I need there, but with my only small growing knowledge
of the JAVA environment it's all i could muster to put in!

RXTXcomm.jar
comm.jar
commbk.jar
dnsns.jar
epsonupos.jar
jai_codec.jar
jai_core.jar
javax.comm.properties
jpos.xml
jpos111.jar

Hi Chris,

Did you try to use -Djava.ext.dirs ? Not sure it's still right but you may be interested by this
http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/java/extensions.html

Jacques

From: "Christopher L" <[hidden email]>
Now that you mention the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory...

I haven't always had success when directions call for putting files in that directory. In particular, the only way I was able to
get my cash drawer working in linux is to put the serial port configuration file (javax.comm.properties) in the classpath.
According to the instructions, that file should have been fine in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext.

I haven't experienced the particular problem you mention though.

IIRW, with my Epson TM-T88III and ADK 1.8, I simply put

epsonJposServiceCommon.jar and epsonJposService180.jar in specialpurpose\pos\lib
and comm.jar in jdk1.5.0_11\jre\lib\ext
and it worked.

Actually It was working since I suspect one of the commits related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1630 and related
tasks to have broken the POS in the trunk (maybe r646697 or r643923)

Thanks for the tip.

I hadn't used that parameter, though I wonder if my linux distro changes the default to something strange.
