Java Forum / General / January 2006Why is JAWS so slow so start
What on earth is Java Web Start doing that takes it so long to find out if there is a new version? See what I mean try http://mindprod.com/webstarts/setclock.html This is a trivial little app. I don't think the problem is my website. When I fetch the JNLP file with MimeCheck, it arrives in under a second.  SignatureCanadian Mind Products, Roedy Green. http://mindprod.com Java custom programming, consulting and coaching.

It's not your website, it's because javaws has to load the VM. I've never used MimeCheck, but presumably MimeCheck has the VM already loaded before executing the applet.

I found the trick was to go into javaws.exe and set network settings to direct rather than "use browser settings". SignatureCanadian Mind Products, Roedy Green. http://mindprod.com Java custom programming, consulting and coaching. Wow. interesting. I have a web app that I created for the Fed Gov't here in the states, and that is great to know. I will let the support group for that app know. ;) Thanks On Mon, 09 Jan 2006 21:30:14 GMT, Roedy Green <my_email_is_posted_on_my_website@munged.invalid> wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said : >does for me now too.

JAWS should not be using it since it is designed only for IE and FireFox.

Roedy, I get the basic "I don't know what to do with this filetype (setclock.jnlp)" when I click on your link in the page. I am running FireFox 1.0.7 (Fedora Core 4) on linux with JRE 1.5.0_03. I have no problems with traditional applets. Your page tells me that "Your browser appears to be already configured properly for Java Web Start." Mostly I'm just letting you know because you seem to have a fair amount of detail to help people get the thing running and I managed to hit a configuration you don't have covered.

Sounds like your association between *.jnlp and javaws.exe is screwed up or pointing to an obsolete version of javaws.exe. Check that the associations for the *.jnlp extension is set to point to the appropriate javaws.exe and *.jar is set to point to javaw.exe. Confirm this in any My Computer directory display with tools | folder options | file types. While you are at it, follow the instructions at http://mindprod.com/jdk.html#TESTING to polish the install of your JDK/JRE. What is with Sun they make people do this manually as if everyone were a Java programmer.

What is with Sun they make people do this manually as if > everyone were a Java programmer. Your instructions (both here and on the web page) are very Windows-centric. I am having this issue on a linux box. I don't really care if we resolve the issue for my sake. If you are not interested in cataloging issues involving non-Windows OSes then we can simply drop it.
