Jabswitch.exe
Ene Vinson
Most jabswitch.exe errors are the result of missing or corrupt versions of the executable file, and commonly encountered at Java SE Runtime Environment Offline program launch. Ordinarily, installing a new version of the EXE file will repair the problem creating the error. As a last measure, we recommend using a registry cleaner to repair any invalid jabswitch.exe, EXE file extension, and other file path references which could be causing the error message.
These types of errors will normally stop occuring if the correct jabswitch.exe file version is placed in the right location, but you should double-check that is the case. Try re-opening Java SE Runtime Environment Offline to see if the error message still appears.
Java SE Runtime Environment Offline-involved jabswitch.exe issues happen during install, when jabswitch.exe-related software is running, startup or shutdown, or during the Windows installation process. It's important to note when jabswitch.exe issues happen, as it helps troubleshoot Java SE Runtime Environment Offline problems (and report to Oracle).
I just amended the post a minute ago - talking to @jcoffman, it looks like the classpath getting passed in to the embedded java.exe is getting mangled somehow:
-classpath C:\Users\mirogers.ignition\clientlauncher-data\launchclient.jar -
should be:
-classpath C:\Users\mirogers\.ignition\clientlauncher-data\launchclient.jar -
@mrogers Do you have an installed JRE on your system still or is this designer running on the same machine as the gateway? It seems that Jabswitch still may be running on your machine. In some \bin directory there should be a jabswitch.exe executable. you would have to run jabswitch.exe /disable from a full JRE that is installed on your system. The launcher itself does not contain this executable as it has been linked and minimized to reduce the download size.
You can run the process with admin privileges, ensure the user account has the necessary permissions access the jabswitch.exe file and its parent folders. Additionally,temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall and see if the issue persists.
The JRE expires whenever a new release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. Critical patch updates, which contain security vulnerability fixes, are announced one year in advance on Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Third Party Bulletin. This JRE (version 8u171) will expire with the release of the next critical patch update scheduled for July 17, 2018.
For systems unable to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version 8u171) on August 17, 2018. After either condition is met (new release becoming available or expiration date reached), the JRE will provide additional warnings and reminders to users to update to the newer version. For more information, see JRE Expiration Date.
The specification of javax.crypto.CipherOutputStream has been clarified to indicate that this class catches BadPaddingException and other exceptions thrown by failed integrity checks during decryption. These exceptions are not re-thrown, so the client is not informed that integrity checks have failed. Because of this behavior, this class may not be suitable for use with decryption in an authenticated mode of operation (for example, GCM) if the application requires explicit notification when authentication fails. These applications can use the Cipher API directly as an alternative to using this class.
Two files, jre/bin/javaw.exe and jre/bin/jabswitch.exe, were not included in 8u171. As a workaround, users who need those files can download the non-server JRE and copy those files from it into their server JRE image.
A new security property named jceks.key.serialFilter has been introduced. If this filter is configured, the JCEKS KeyStore uses it during the deserialization of the encrypted Key object stored inside a SecretKeyEntry. If it is not configured or if the filter result is UNDECIDED (for example, none of the patterns match), then the filter configured by jdk.serialFilter is consulted.
The filter pattern uses the same format as jdk.serialFilter. The default pattern allows java.lang.Enum, java.security.KeyRep, java.security.KeyRep$Type, and javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec but rejects all the others.
A new system property jdk.disableLastUsageTracking has been introduced to disable JRE last usage tracking for a running VM. This property can be set in the command line by using either -Djdk.disableLastUsageTracking=true or -Djdk.disableLastUsageTracking. With this system property set, JRE last usage tracking will be disabled regardless of the com.oracle.usagetracker.track.last.usage property value set in usagetracker.properties.
The secure validation mode of the XML Signature implementation has been enhanced to restrict EC keys less than 224 bits by default. The secure validation mode is enabled either by setting the property org.jcp.xml.dsig.secureValidation to true with the javax.xml.crypto.XMLCryptoContext.setProperty() method, or by running the code with a SecurityManager.
A new JDK implementation specific system property jdk.internal.FileHandlerLogging.maxLocks has been introduced to control the java.util.logging.FileHandler MAX_LOCKS limit. The default value of the current MAX_LOCKS (100) is retained if this new system property is not set or an invalid value is provided to the property. Valid values for this property are integers ranging from 1 to Integer.MAX_VALUE-1.
This release disables server side HTTP-tunneled RMI connections by default. The previous behavior can be re-enabled after due consideration of any impact by setting the runtime property sun.rmi.server.disableIncomingHttp to false. Note that this should not be confused with the sun.rmi.server.disableHttp property, which disables HTTP-tunneling on the client side and is false by default.
An alternative solution is to issue two commands from a DOS command prompt or DOS command window that will execute the jabswitch -disable command for all instances of jabswitch.exe that are installed on your Windows machine. To do this, follow these steps:
appletviewer.exe java-rmi.exe jrunscript.exe pack200.exe
apt.exe javaw.exe jsadebugd.exe policytool.exe
extcheck.exe javaws.exe jstack.exe rmic.exe
idlj.exe jcmd.exe jstatd.exe rmid.exe
jabswitch.exe jconsole.exe jstat.exe rmiregistry.exe
jar.exe jdb.exe jvisualvm.exe schemagen.exe
jarsigner.exe jhat.exe keytool.exe serialver.exe
javac.exe jinfo.exe kinit.exe servertool.exe
javadoc.exe jli.dll klist.exe tnameserv.exe
java.exe jmap.exe ktab.exe unpack200.exe
javafxpackager.exe jmc.exe msvcr100.dll wsgen.exe
javah.exe jmc.ini native2ascii.exe wsimport.exe
javap.exe jps.exe orbd.exe xjc.exe

java-rmi.exe
This is a launcher which was meant to be used for RMI-CGI gateways, but it is broken and should be removed. See _bug.do?bug_id=6512052 and -is-java-rmi-exe for more information.
jabswitch.exe
Enables or disables the Java Access Bridge. This allows functionality provided by the Java Accessibility API to be avilable to assistive technologies on MS-Windows. See _and_test.html for more information.
You can work not only with windows, but also with user interface (UI) objects that are in windows. Most of them are child windows ("controls") and can be identified by handle. You can use function id or child to retrieve child window handle. But not all objects are child windows. For example, links and other objects in web pages are not child windows, and functions id and child cannot find them. The alternative is accessible objects.
