java-web-start

Is it feasible to launch an application via a browser / URL? What are the options for doing this? I know the way to do it with IE and Windows (which usually doesn't work). Ideally, I would like this to be browser independent. Our application is RCP, so in theory Java Web Start could work, we would just have to do some significant changes to how we deliver our application to users, which I would like to avoid. Our web server code is currently all Java if that makes a difference. I pretty much gave up on this until I clicked a url on Apple's site, which in turn launched iTunes. How does Apple do

i have noticed that signed applets are loaded much slower with the latest plugin (included in java 8u31 and 7u75). I have debugged the situation quite a lot and i found out that the problem is directly related to the size of the jar files that are referenced in the jnlp file. The problem is that each time the applet starts, there is some 're-indexing' of the cached jar files that takes time. To reproduce the issue i did this: I created a minimal applet and in the jnlp file i used to deploy it, I added several irrelevant .jar files (that are not even referenced, so the classloader does not load

On Mac OS X 10.9 signed Java Web Start applications are blocked by default with the message: "application.jnlp" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. I know it's possible to weaken the security checks to allow any application to run, but that requires a manual intervention of the end user. Is it possible to "sign" a Java Web Start application such that it is recognized as originating from an identified developer? Thank you Apple does appear to support signing of webstart -- but not directly. You have to bundle it in an archive. See the note at the bottom of this page:

I need to create some gui tests using Jemmy but I have no idea how to launch it with javaws application. In tutorials/examples/etc is something like that: new ClassReference("org.netbeans.jemmy.explorer.GUIBrowser") .startApplication(); This code opens an example window, but how can I, using ClassReference object open *.jnlp file? Or is it another way to "connect" jemmy with java web start application? Thanks for advance. You can achieve this by preparing special build with Jemmy included and call Jemmy from the app run in jnlp mode itself. The solution is: Place build files into any folder on

The description of the URLConnection caching API states as the last sentence: There is no default implementation of URLConnection caching in the Java 2 Standard Edition. However, Java Plugin and Java WebStart do provide one out of the box. Where can I find more information about the Webstart ResponseCache? Which Versions of Webstart on which platforms activate Caching? In which cases is it active? Only HTTP Get? Can it be configured? Is the sourcecode available? Background: Case 1 With following (groovy) code def url = new URL('http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/') def connection = url

I have code to iterate over the results of classLoader.getResources("META-INF/MANIFEST.MF") to return the list of jars on the class path. This worked fine from 1.6.0_18 all the way to 1.7.0_40. Now 1.7.0_45 breaks this by showing a security warning popup about mixed signed/unsigned code. Small self contained testcase to demonstrate problem: package testcase; import java.io.*; import java.net.*; import java.util.Enumeration; import java.util.logging.*; public class TestCase { public static void main(String[] args) { getAllJarUrls(); } public static void getAllJarUrls() { try { final Enumeration
