loadUI installation / execution on a standalone network...

Hi there,

I've seen a couple of posts related to this topic but was after a little more specific information, hence the new topic (hope that is okay)...

Basically we're running a standalone network with no connection at all to the internet. I updated my existing SoapUI installation and then installed loadUI for the first time. From what I've read loadUI unsurprisingly complained about not being able to download JavaFX from the internet. So I installed the latest Java SDK with JavaFX included on my machine (jdk-6u23-javafx-1_3_1-windows-i586.exe).

Unfortunately loadUI still would not load, it kept trying to download JavaFX from the internet. So we did a little experimention and added the following lines to the loadUItest.bat file after the echo %CD% line:
set JAVAFX_HOME=C:\Program Files\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.3
set JAVAFX=%JAVAFX_HOME%\bin\javafx


This then allows us to start loadUI, albeit rather slowly.

My two questions are:
    Is this the best way to get loadUI to work on a standalone network?

    How do we modify the regular loadUI.bat file to start it sucessfully? I've tried a couple of things but no luck so far... (Not a DOS bat file expert in the least )


Many thanks in advance for your help...

Kind regards

  • Hi Adam,

    This approach sounds perfect, the advantage of using loaduitest.bat is that you will get any exceptions in the console and won't have the overhead of the java webstart runtime.

    Actually I can't come up with any reason you would want to use the loadUI.bat file instead... can you?

    regards!
