Océ Print Exec Workgroup
Guideline for automated
deployment of the Java environment
Chapter 1
Introduction
This document provides IT administrators the means to
automate the deployment of the Java environment required
by the Océ Print Exec Workgroup application. The
deployment described is made on Windows client
workstations.
5
Java environment for Océ Print Exec
Workgroup
Océ Print Exec Workgroup is a web-based application using Java applets. The
application is located on the Océ Power Logic Controller (application server)
and requires the installation of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Java
Advanced Imaging (JAI) components on the client workstations.
Océ Print Exec Workgroup 1.3 requires:
■
■
JRE 1.4.2_04 or higher.
JAI 1.1.1_01 or higher.
Océ Print Exec Workgroup 1.3 LT requires:
■
JRE 1.4.2_04 or higher.
Administration rights required In case you want to install the Java
components on a client station, you need the administrator rights on this station
to deploy the JRE and JAI from the Océ Print Exec Workgroup application.
Scope This document describes the automated installation of the Java
components on Windows clients only (JRE is installed by default on Mac OS
X environment).
Automated deployment IT administrators that manage many Windows-based
computers often use tools to deploy applications on an entire infrastructure
automatically. The goal of this document is to help them to deploy components
Océ Print Exec Workgroup needs: JRE and JAI.
Note: This memo assumes IT administrators are familiar with deployment
tools.

Silent installation for automated
deployment
IT administrators can use a tool to deploy applications remotely on a computer
network (e.g. Syscript). To use such a tool, they need to run its installer without
user interaction (meaning without interface windows to accept software
license, to choose options, installation directory, etc).
A solution is to use a command line including all the arguments to pass the
information to the installer. Therefore, it avoids further user interaction. This
is called ‘silent installation’.
This document explains how to install and deploy the JRE and JAI silently.
Note: Consult your administration tool documentation to know how to launch
the silent installers with administrator rights on your entire Windows
computers network.
To install the Java components, follow the procedure described in Chapter 2:
1 Java Runtime Environment installation.
2 Java Advanced Imaging installation.

Java Runtime Environment installation
Download the Java Runtime Environment
You can retrieve the JRE:
■ From you Océ print controller:
- either by clicking on the direct link on the Océ Print Exec Workgroup user
interface.
- or by downloading the
‘http://yourcontroller/jpi/j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe’ file on your
browser.
■ From the Océ Print Exec for Workgroup upgrade CD: the file is located on
the ‘data\plugin\win32’ folder.
■ From the Sun web site ‘http://java.com/’, by selecting ‘Manual download’
and then ‘Windows (Offline Installation)’.
Java Runtime Environment silent installation
To install the JRE silently, the command and its arguments are (on one line):
j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v"/qn
INSTALLDIR=C:\java\jre_1-4-2 IEXPLORER=1 NETSCAPE6=1 MOZILLA=1
WEBSTARTICON=0"
Attention: There should be no space between the /v and the quote ("). In Sun
documentation, you may see a space here, but as it is an offline installation,
it must be removed.
"IEXPLORE=1", "NETSCAPE6=1" and "MOZILLA=1"
Optional arguments meaning that the JRE must be registered with your
browsers: respectively Internet Explorer, Netscape 6 or later and Mozilla 1.1
or later.
"WEBSTARTICON=0"
Optional argument avoiding the creation of a ‘Java Web Start’ icon on the
desktop.
10
Océ Print Exec Workgroup -Guideline for automated deployment of the Java environment
"INSTALLDIR=C:\java\jre_1-4-2"
Optional argument allowing to choose another directory than the default one
(important when you install JAI afterwards: JAI must be installed in the same
directory).
Note: Do not insert a space in the directory name.
Default is "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_04" if "C:" is the system drive.
Attention: The installer does not work if the same version of the JRE is
already installed. Consequence is the JRE will still be available at the
former place, but not at the expected location. This may cause a problem
as JAI installation must be done in the same folder than the JRE.
Solution is:
- either uninstalling the existing JRE and reinstalling it in the expected
folder,
- or making sure to install JAI in the same folder as the existing JRE.
Note: A similar problem happens if a newer version of the JRE is already
installed. The installer works correctly but the browser will still use the newer
version previously installed.

Java Advanced Imaging installation
JAI is an extension of the JRE used in the viewer functionality of Océ Print
Exec Workgroup. It must be installed after the JRE and in the same directory.
Océ Print Exec Workgroup LT does not require JAI, only the full version does.
Download the Java Advanced Imaging
You can retrieve JAI:
■ From your Océ print controller:
- either by clicking on the direct link on the Océ Print Exec Workgroup user
interface.
- or by downloading the
‘http://yourcontroller/jpi/jai-1_1_1_01-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe’ file on
your browser.
■ From the Océ Print Exec for Workgroup upgrade CD: the file is located on
the ‘data\plugin\win32’ folder.
■ From the Sun web site: ‘http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/’.
Response file generation
JAI silent installation requires a response file. A response file provides all
information needed during installation. You obtain it by launching the installer
in recording mode.
Generate the response file
1 Log-on as administrator on a computer.
2 Install the JRE as it will be on your entire park.
3 Record the response file by launching JAI installer from a command prompt
with the following arguments (on one line):
jai-1_1_1_01-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe -r -a -r
-f1"C:\tmp\silent.iss"
Note: Argument after ‘-f1’ is the full path of the response file.
4 Perform the interactive installation to the end.
12
Océ Print Exec Workgroup -Guideline for automated deployment of the Java environment
Attention: The JAI location MUST be the JRE directory (the installer should
propose it by default). As JAI is an extension of the JRE, it will not work if
it is installed elsewhere than within the JRE.
This location is included in the response file. So be sure all the computers
where you will install JAI using this response file have the JRE installed at
the same place.
You may have a problem if computers in your infrastructure have different
system drives. If you let the JRE installer use default installation location, it
will not be the same everywhere.
Solution is:
■ either installing the JRE specifying explicitly its location using the
"INSTALLDIR" argument (‘C:\Java\jre_1-4-2’ in the example).
■ or using different JAI installer response files according to the system drives.

Once you have the response file, you can install JAI silently using the
following arguments (on one line):
jai-1_1_1_01-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe -s -a -s
-f1"C:\tmp\silent.iss"
Note: Argument after "-f1" is the full path of the response file.
