Question
How do I manually install the Certify Java Interface's JAR files if the JAR Installer does not work?
Why is this manual procedure needed?
Sometimes the Java JAR Installer fails to install the necessary Java Interface files in a specific Java Runtime Environment, either because of a slightly customized JRE installation or because the JAR Installer cannot find the JRE folder (perhaps because it is embedded in the application) or due to some other problem during installation of the Java Interface JAR files.
Manual Java Interface JAR file installation instructions
As a workaround when the JAR Installer fails for any reason, you can manually install the necessary Java Interface files into your Java Runtime Environment by following this manual installation procedure:
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to ...\Worksoft\Certify\Interface Client\Worksoft\wsTest\Java\InstallerFiles
- Copy the CertifyBridge-1_{x}.jar file that matches your JRE version into your ...\Program Files\Java\JRE{version}\lib\ext folder.
For example, if your JRE is version 1.6 and your JRE folder is located in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05, you would copy CertifyBridge-1_6.jar into the C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\lib\ext folder.
- If it is not already present, copy the jaccess1_4.jar file into your ...\Program Files\Java\JRE{version}\lib\ext folder.
- a. If it is not already present, copy the accessibility.properties file into your ...\Program Files\Java\JRE{version}\lib folder.
b. If accessibility.properties is already present in your ...\Program Files\Java\JRE{version}\lib folder, do the following:
i. Open the accessibility.properties file in your ...\JRE{version}\lib folder in a text editor.
ii. Add the following line:
assistive_technologies=com.worksoft.Java.CertifyInterfaceServer
NOTE: If there is already an assistive_technolgies setting, add the above value into that line before any other values and follow it with a semicolon.
