[Midas] Recent Java updates

[Patrick Reynolds]

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately changes to Java and general browser/OS deprecation of Java have made these problems more and more common. Some ideas:

1) The JAR file that ships with Midas is self-signed. Many browsers have start do reject this outright, but there is generally a way to enable  acceptance of these. Another option would be to rebuild the jar yourself and sign it with a key valid for the website upon which you’re running the Midas instance.
2) The standard upload in the latest “master” of the repository supports large files (over 2GB) using newer Javascript APIs. You could achieve the same functionality using the standard uploader, merging the files, and running the DICOM extractor on the resulting item.

I hope that helps. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help.

We are running the latest Midas code and a few users have contacted me stating that the DICOM uploader doesn't work nor does the java uploader (there is no Upload button visible) and there is a message in the dialog box about:

The users are all using Linux, but I have a strange feeling this is something in Firefox preventing it from working. I have even run ControlPanel and lowered the security setting as low as it will go (medium) and added the site to the security exception list ... again, it works in IE but not Firefox. I thought I had tracked this down, because the version of Java that was being used was being blocked because it was too old and vulnerable - but even after upgrading to the latest version it still fails.
